Over the years, Macronix has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with a peak in 2014 at approximately 442,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 consistently, while Scope 3 emissions were first reported in 2021, indicating a growing awareness of the full impact of its operations. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their recent reports, Macronix's commitment to transparency in emissions reporting reflects an industry trend towards greater accountability in climate action. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments.
