HTC Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

HTC, headquartered in Taiwan, has reported its greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. In 2023, the company's total emissions amounted to approximately 27.2 million kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of about 163,769 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market and location-based) of approximately 7.85 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 19.2 million kg CO2e. The largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions were purchased goods and services (approximately 10.3 million kg CO2e), followed by downstream leased assets (about 3.3 million kg CO2e) and employee commutes (around 1.3 million kg CO2e).

In the preceding year, 2022, HTC reported total emissions of approximately 34.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 179,142 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 8.17 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 26.2 million kg CO2e.

HTC has established ambitious climate commitments. The company has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, as part of its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This long-term goal is supported by nearer-term targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as a baseline year. Furthermore, HTC aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2030. Looking further ahead, the company has a long-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, with a corresponding 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe.
