Insights into Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint. a
Does Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources. a
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.016 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Unit of Wafer from Unspecified Activities in 2020. a
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target. a
