Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (PSMC), headquartered in Taiwan (TW), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 89694,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 581994000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 213668000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 67098000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2021, PSMC's emissions were approximately 95781,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 570181000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and maintained the same Scope 3 emissions figures. This data suggests a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions, while Scope 2 emissions remained relatively stable. Despite these figures, PSMC has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. As the semiconductor industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding sustainability, PSMC's future climate strategies will be crucial in aligning with global emissions reduction goals.
