Sustainable Products and Services

As consumers become increasingly conscious of environmental responsibility, responsible consumption, and quality of life, department stores are evolving beyond places to shop into important platforms for promoting sustainable lifestyles. Through diverse product selections and brand partnerships, SKM gives greater visibility to products and services that contribute to sustainability, making it easier for customers to incorporate sustainable choices into their everyday lives.

SKM defines sustainability-focused brands as those whose products, services, operations, or initiatives contribute to sustainable development through practices such as environmental protection, circular use of resources, carbon reduction, responsible production, social impact, or support for local communities. SKM identifies and compiles these brands based on publicly available brand information, product attributes, and sustainability initiatives carried out at SKM locations.

As of 2025, SKM had introduced 195 sustainability-focused corporate groups and brands across a wide range of categories, including luxury goods, cosmetics, women’s accessories, apparel, lifestyle products, children’s products, household goods, food and beverage, and multi-category retail. This gives customers more opportunities to discover and choose products with sustainability attributes across different aspects of everyday life.

SKM’s own supermarkets and Beautiful Market also continue to offer products with environmental and social certifications, including organic and animal welfare certifications. In 2025, these products comprised 621 SKUs, with 134,861 units sold, generating NT$18.82 million in sales. Sales have exceeded NT$10 million annually for three consecutive years. SKM also actively promotes agricultural products from small-scale farmers and locally made goods from across Taiwan through its own brand, goodgoods, and the T368 Urban-Rural Products Expo. For more information, please refer to Section 2.3.1, “Careful selection of good sustainable products from Taiwan.”

Plastic Reduction Activities

Since 2019, SKM has continued to implement plastic reduction measures, focusing primarily on department store operations and the digitalization of membership cards. These efforts aim to gradually reduce plastic use and create a more sustainable shopping environment. 

Department Store Operations

SKM focuses on reducing plastic use at the source. It has phased out single-use plastic straws and utensils and has further reduced plastic packaging for fresh produce, meat, and seafood at Beautiful Market and its supermarkets by replacing plastic trays with options such as package-free displays, paper boxes, and mesh bags. These measures have steadily reduced the amount of plastic used for fresh food packaging.

In 2025, SKM continued its plastic tray reduction initiative across 13 Beautiful Market and supermarket locations in Taiwan, reducing plastic use by approximately 710 kg during the year. SKM also encouraged customers to bring their own containers and reusable bags by offering discounts and making reusable containers available for purchase. Together, these initiatives increased customer participation and further strengthened plastic reduction across SKM’s department store operations. 

 

Digital Membership Cards

SKM has fully digitalized its membership card system.Since September 2022, SKM has discontinued the issuance of physical plastic cards, replacing them with digital membership cards in the skm app and integrating mobile phone verification and other digital membership features. In 2025, this eliminated the need to produce approximately 300,000 plastic cards, bringing the cumulative reduction to 1.37 million cards and further reducing plastic use while advancing SKM’s digital transformation.

Green Packaging for Online Shopping

SKM actively supports the Ministry of Environment’s Targets and Implementation Methods for Restriction of Internet Shopping Packaging by reducing packaging materials used for online orders and introducing reusable shipping boxes.

Packaging Reduction

skm online and Fayaque have continued to improve their online shopping packaging. No shipping materials contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Paper-based packaging, including corrugated boxes, paperboard products, and molded pulp products, contains at least 90% recycled paper. Plastic packaging and cushioning materials contain at least 25% recycled content.

• Fayaque achieved an average packaging weight reduction rate of 33.38%, exceeding the 30% regulatory target for 2025.
• skm online achieved a 3.05% reduction in average packaging weight. While below its annual target, packaging weight continues to decline year over year, with further improvements planned.
