In 2022, Foxconn Electronics Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 686,600 kg CO2e, comprising 404,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 282,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data highlights the company's direct and indirect emissions from its operations and energy consumption. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass the entire value chain. Comparatively, in 2021, Foxconn's Scope 1 emissions were significantly higher, at about 533,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial reduction in direct emissions in the following year. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments. Foxconn's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, and the organisation operates independently in its climate reporting. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, further commitments and strategies may be necessary to enhance its sustainability profile.
