Auo

AUO, an electrical machinery and apparatus manufacturer based in Taiwan, reported its latest carbon emissions for 2025 as approximately 5.81 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 62.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.59 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 3.93 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 6.80 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 48.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.80 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 4.63 billion kg CO2e.

AUO has set several climate commitments and reduction targets. They have committed to achieve net-zero in their corporate headquarters building by 2023, net-zero in all offices by 2030, and net-zero across the company's operating boundary by 2050. These commitments align with their participation in the Taiwan Alliance for Net Zero Emission.

The company has also set Science Based Targets (SBTi). AUO Corporation commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as a base year, consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and use of sold products by 25% within the same timeframe. An earlier SBTi commitment from 2021 aimed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 25% by 2025 from a 2018 base year, consistent with a "well-below 2°C" scenario. This 25% reduction target for Scope 1 and 2 emissions was reportedly achieved ahead of schedule in 2022.

AUO also became a member of RE100 in 2022, committing to achieve 100% renewable energy usage by 2050.
