Asia Optical Co., Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Asia Optical Co., Inc., headquartered in Taiwan (TW), reported carbon emissions of approximately 998,780 kg CO2e, primarily from Scope 2 emissions related to electricity consumption. This figure represents a notable increase from 2020, when emissions were about 964,340 kg CO2e, and a significant rise from 2019, which recorded only about 8,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Asia Optical has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. There are no commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised climate action strategies at this time. The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not appear to be cascaded from any parent organisation, suggesting that their climate commitments and performance are independently managed. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Asia Optical's current lack of reduction targets may necessitate future strategic planning to align with global climate goals.
