Taiwan Stock Exchange's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,364,060 kg CO2e, comprising 439,390 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 10,364,140 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 7,301,030 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to 2021, where total emissions were about 9,464,420 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 62,560 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 9,464,420 kg CO2e. In 2020, the TWSE's emissions were approximately 9,066,340 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 58,210 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 9,083,130 kg CO2e. The data indicates a trend of increasing emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 2 and Scope 3 categories. Despite the rising emissions, the TWSE has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. As the TWSE continues to operate in a global context increasingly focused on sustainability, establishing clear climate commitments will be essential for aligning with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
