In 2023, Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,067,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 6,063,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 205,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 5,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 916,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 4,569,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 220,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the company reported total emissions of approximately 3,580,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 528,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 3,052,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were not reported. Despite the increase in emissions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. The company has not cascaded any emissions data from a parent or related organization, indicating that all reported figures are self-sourced. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the semiconductor industry context.
