The National Development Council published the targets of different stages and the key strategies towards the net-zero transition by 2050 in December, 2022, and proposed the emission reduction of "24%±1%" as the nationally determined contributions (NDC) in 2030. The Company, based on this information, established the short, medium and long-term carbon reduction goals with the GHG emission in 2022 as the baseline. The Company plans to reduce a total of 32% of CO2e from direct emissions and the indirection emissions from power consumption in 2030 with the goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. The Company has obtained verification opinion statements from third-party verification units approved by the Ministry of Environment for all emission statistics.

In alignment with the government's policy trend, the Company will achieve carbon neutrality gradually with the carbon reduction pathways below：

GHG emissions are a major cause of the climate emergency, and corporate GHG management is one of the main concerns of stakeholders. Since 2021, the Company has established a mechanism of GHG inventory standards according to ISO 14064 and the Operation Directions for GHG Validation of the Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan. We conduct regular GHG inventories from all company facilities each year and underwent verification by a third-party verification body (Metal Industries Research& Development Centre) in 2022 to fully understand the current status of GHG usage as a way of verifying the effectiveness of reduction efforts. Operating controls are used as the organizational inventory boundary, the Company inventoried all manufacturing processes and facilities managed by all factories (Hsinchu, Xinying, and Kaohsiung factories). The greenhouse gases emitted by the Company include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). No ozone-depleting substances (ODS) were used in the factories.
