Winbond's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Winbond reported total carbon emissions of approximately 454,221,000 kg CO2e, comprising 21,444,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 356,535,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and no reported Scope 3 emissions. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions at about 516,200,000 kg CO2e, which included 19,709,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 353,523,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 443,204,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Winbond has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company has reported emissions data for Scopes 1 and 2, but there is no information available regarding Scope 3 emissions or any formal climate pledges. The absence of reduction targets suggests that Winbond may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, Winbond's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate action and transparency in their sustainability efforts, particularly as they navigate the challenges of increasing emissions in a rapidly evolving industry landscape.
