Formosa Petrochemical's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Formosa Petrochemical, headquartered in Taiwan (TW), reported an emissions intensity of approximately 24.00 tCO2e per million USD in revenue. The company has disclosed emissions data for previous years, with significant figures including 25,330,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and 221,111,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions in 2020. In 2019, their total emissions included 27,256,866,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 136,173,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 29,333,461,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite these figures, Formosa Petrochemical has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. The absence of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the industry faces increasing pressure to address climate change, Formosa Petrochemical's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals.
