TAIPEI, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HOYA BIT, a Taiwan-based cryptocurrency exchange, has become the world’s first crypto exchange to earn BSI ISO 14068-1 carbon neutrality certification. Bryn Sutton, Vice President of BSI, and Aiman Ali, Global Head of Sustainability, traveled to Taiwan to present the certification in person, underscoring BSI’s recognition of HOYA BIT’s efforts.
HOYA BIT integrated carbon governance, transparent reporting, and independent third-party auditing into its operations to create a reliable framework for the digital asset sector. BSI, the world’s first national standards body, issues certifications recognized by global technology leaders such as Microsoft and Google.
ISO 14068-1 requires organizations to disclose full life-cycle carbon emissions, set a clear reduction pathway, and submit to third-party audits. Led by founder Zoe Peng, HOYA BIT adopted SBTi methodologies and invested in Gold Standard carbon offset projects, while prioritizing renewable energy initiatives that advance measurable progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.
“The digital asset industry can respond to market expectations for governance, accountability and transparency in an internationally recognized and verifiable way,” said Zoe Peng. “The key to industry maturity is not just functional innovation — it is consistently demonstrating, through verifiable actions, that a platform can be trusted.”
HOYA BIT was also invited to BSI’s 125th anniversary celebration, signaling Taiwan’s participation in the global dialogue on sustainable governance. HOYA BIT says it will continue improving carbon disclosure and expanding user opportunities to engage in carbon reduction efforts.
