In 2022, Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation (VIS) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 341,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 570,800,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 424,400,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and a slight increase in Scope 2 emissions from 521,200,000 kg CO2e in the same year. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, VIS has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. VIS operates within the semiconductor industry, which is under increasing pressure to enhance environmental performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As of now, the company has not cascaded any emissions data from a parent or related organization, maintaining its own reporting standards. Overall, while VIS has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests a need for a more robust climate action plan to align with industry standards and expectations.
