Taiwan Stock Exchange's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,000,000 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 data reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 2, which is primarily attributed to purchased electricity. In 2021, TWSE's emissions were about 9,526,980 kg CO2e in Taiwan, with Scope 1 emissions at 62,560 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 9,464,420 kg CO2e. The 2020 figures showed a total of approximately 9,141,340 kg CO2e, with similar Scope 1 and Scope 2 contributions. Notably, the emissions from Scope 1 and 2 have fluctuated over the years, indicating varying operational impacts. Despite these figures, TWSE has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Overall, while TWSE has disclosed comprehensive emissions data, the lack of reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the exchange to strengthen its climate commitments and align with global sustainability goals.
