Taking climate action, systematic forward-looking management
The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly profound and severe on regional economies, countries, industries, and even individuals worldwide. In the face of this global issue, while aiming to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, we are focusing on the growth risks and potential market opportunities for businesses, actively preparing to face challenges.
Milestones for Climate Action Goals and Initiatives
2030 SBT Carbon Reduction Plan
Scope 1&2 emissions: Set a carbon reduction target of 42% by 2030 from the 2021 baseline in a 1.5°C warming scenario.
Scope 3 emissions: Set a carbon reduction target of 25% by 2030 from the 2021 baseline in a WB2C (Well Below 2°C) scenario.
Scope 1&2 Annual Absolute Carbon Reduction Rate
25.27 %
2050 RE100
AUO became a member of RE100 in 2022, committing to achieve 30% renewable energy usage by 2030 and 100% by 2050.
Annual renewable energy usage
6.67 %
SDGs 2025 carbon reduction target
AUO commits to proactive emissions reduction goals under SDG13 Climate Action, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by a cumulative total of 6.5 million tons of CO2e by 2025 through lifecycle-based reductions, expanding impact scope, and driving more proactive emission reduction efforts. This transition towards smart manufacturing technology and product/service transformation will lead to decreased overall cumulative absolute carbon emissions for the organization.
Cumulative Carbon Reduction (Achieved Goal)
1.329 million tonnes CO2e
2030 SBT Carbon Reduction Pla
Scope 1&2 emissions: Set a carbon reduction target of 25% by 2025 from the 2018 baseline in a WB2C (Well Below 2°C) scenario.
Scope 1&2 Annual Absolute Carbon Reduction Rate (Achieved Goal)
38.84 %
Climate Change Governance
CDP Commit to Action
Climate Change Governance
Organization
It was set up by the ESG and Climate Committee and was headed by VP of Manufacturing Group to monitor trends and integrate resources.
Policies
AUO has defined four key strategic directions in climate change management: Transparency, Action, Responsibility and Cooperation.
CDP Commit to Action
In response to CDP Commit to Action, we pro-actively participate in the CDP investors questionnaire response, and we reported with sincerity and transparency our climate change response measures, including a climate change governance strategy, risk identification and opportunity analysis, information regarding greenhouse gases emission volumes, reduction goals and performance, etc. Concurrently, from 2012 onward, we have concretely responded to CDP water with regard to risks and opportunities presented by global climate change and water resources.
