Foxconn Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.

As of the latest available data, Foxconn Corporation does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of recent emissions data. The company is a current subsidiary of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Foxconn Corporation has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives in its current documentation. However, it is important to note that emissions data and climate commitments may be inherited from its parent company, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., which is known for its engagement in various sustainability initiatives, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Given the absence of direct emissions data, Foxconn's climate commitments and performance may be aligned with the broader goals set by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. This includes potential targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories, although specific figures and commitments have not been disclosed at this level. In summary, while Foxconn Corporation currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its climate strategy may be influenced by its parent company's initiatives and commitments in the sustainability arena.
