In 2024, AUO completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, AUO has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of AUO decreased by 5.84%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of AUO were 60,886.3 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, AUO's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 40.42%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), AUO's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 8.87%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2024, AUO reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,225,178.27 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2020, AUO's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 23.51%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), AUO's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that AUO's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, AUO reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, AUO reported 2,169,995 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of AUO includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, AUO reported total Scope 3 emissions of 2,169,995 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, AUO's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 47.44%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), AUO's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 53.23%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2024, AUO reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 60,886.3 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 8,555 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 7.12 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, AUO reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 7.12 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 3.74, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, AUO ranked 16 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
AUO is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, AUO reported a total carbon footprint of 4,456,059.57 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 36.95% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to AUO's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 49.94% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 48.7%.a
