Weltrend Semiconductor, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Weltrend Semiconductor, Inc., headquartered in Taiwan (TW), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,495,791 kg CO2e. This figure includes 55,063 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,440,728 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 297,516 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has shown a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions across all three scopes. Comparatively, in 2022, Weltrend's total emissions were about 1,452,422 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 51,945 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 1,400,477 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 263,625 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions year-on-year. Despite the emissions data, Weltrend Semiconductor has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no reported Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. The absence of such commitments may reflect the broader industry context, where many semiconductor companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and emissions reduction. Overall, while Weltrend Semiconductor has made strides in emissions reporting, further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance their climate action profile.
