This target has been approved by the SBTi. * A near-term commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and use of sold products by 25% by 2030, also from a 2021 baseline. * Previous near-term targets included an absolute carbon reduction of 25% by 2025 (using 2018 as the base year) for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which AUO has reported as being achieved early. * **Renewable Energy:** AUO joined the RE100 initiative in 2022, committing to achieve 30% renewable energy usage by 2030 and 100% by 2050. They are the first display panel manufacturer globally to pledge 100% renewable energy usage by 2050. AUO's detailed reporting across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 demonstrates a proactive approach to understanding and managing its climate impact. The company's commitment to science-based targets and net-zero goals underscores its dedication to contributing to a low-carbon future within the electrical machinery and apparatus industry.
