GlobalWafers Co's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, GlobalWafers Co, headquartered in Taiwan (TW), reported significant carbon emissions across various scopes. The company’s emissions included approximately 22,043,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 358,071,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 237,502,210 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 231,387,050 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2021, GlobalWafers recorded approximately 17,604,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 413,305,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions. The absence of Scope 3 data for that year indicates a growing awareness and reporting of indirect emissions in subsequent years. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, GlobalWafers has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the lack of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability. Overall, GlobalWafers Co's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and potential strategies to reduce their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which represent a significant portion of their total emissions.
