Auo

AUO, headquartered in Taiwan and operating within the electrical machinery and apparatus sector, has set ambitious climate targets alongside its reported carbon emissions. In 2025, the company reported total emissions of approximately 5.8 billion kg CO2e, comprising 62.6 million kg CO2e of Scope 1, 1.6 billion kg CO2e of Scope 2, and 3.9 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions. The previous year, 2024, saw total emissions of approximately 6.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 48.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1.8 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 4.6 billion kg CO2e.

AUO is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its operations. This includes a target for net zero in its corporate headquarters building by 2023, extending to all offices by 2030, and the entire company's operating boundary by 2050.

Further demonstrating its dedication to climate action, AUO has established Science Based Targets (SBTi). Notably, the company committed to a 42% absolute carbon reduction by 2030 from a 2021 baseline for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, aligning with a 1.5°C warming scenario. This target was approved by the SBTi. Additionally, AUO aims for a 25% absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions, specifically from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and the use of sold products, within the same timeframe. The company has already met its interim target of a 25% absolute carbon reduction by 2025 (using 2018 as a base year) ahead of schedule by 2022. AUO also joined the RE100 initiative in 2022, pledging to use 100% renewable energy by 2050.
