This figure includes 17,390 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 476,840 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and 47,970 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions, specifically from business travel. The total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 combined, using a market-based approach, amounted to about 494,230 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions were about 548,110 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 13,950 kg CO2e and market-based Scope 2 emissions at 534,160 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Taipei Exchange has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all reported figures are derived directly from Taipei Exchange's own disclosures. Overall, while Taipei Exchange has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, further commitments to reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
