GlobalWafers Co

GlobalWafers Co. is committed to significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, aiming for net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. This ambition is underpinned by science-based targets (SBTi).

For the reporting year 2024, GlobalWafers reported total emissions encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 6,049,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were about 35,817,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 30,869,000 kg CO2e.

The company has established near-term targets, based on a 2022 baseline year, to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 63.0% by 2035. Additionally, GlobalWafers aims to decrease absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and fuel- and energy-related activities by 37.5% by 2035, using a 2024 base year. Longer-term, the company has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050 from the 2022 baseline. Correspondingly, absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions are targeted for a 90.0% reduction by 2050 from a 2024 base year.

Beyond these SBTi commitments, GlobalWafers also has an annual reduction goal. Starting from a 2022 base year, emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 are targeted to be reduced by at least 1% per year through 2023, with the expectation of continued annual reductions for subsequent years.

In 2018, GlobalWafers reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 2,492,300 kg CO2e. For the 2017 reporting year, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 16,999,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 8,655,678,000 kg CO2e.

Data for GlobalWafers' emissions and reduction targets are directly reported by the organisation, with SBTi targets cascaded from the ultimate parent through a corporate family relationship.
