This comprised about 311.76 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 748.35 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). For 2024, total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were around 1.44 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 326.45 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 1.12 billion kg CO2e (market-based). In 2023, the company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 1.72 billion kg CO2e (market-based), alongside Scope 3 emissions of about 9.89 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Targets:

ASE Holdings is committed to substantial emissions reductions and achieving net-zero emissions. Key climate commitments include:

• Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets:

  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% by 2030, using 2016 as a base year.
  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25.0% by 2030, from a 2020 base year.
  • Long-term targets include a 90.0% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 (from a 2016 base year) and a 90.0% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050 (from a 2020 base year).
  • The company has also committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.

• Other Reduction Initiatives:

  • A previous target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 35% by 2030 (from a 2016 base year).
  • A commitment for its offices to achieve net zero emissions by 2030 and its manufacturing facilities by 2050.
  • An intensity reduction target to decrease GHG emission intensity (GHG emissions/revenue) by 5% by 2020 from 2015 levels.

ASE Holdings's climate strategy involves setting GHG limits for subsidiary companies and manufacturing facilities, and implementing internal carbon pricing. The company's SBTi targets have been validated, aligning with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
