Taking climate action, systematic forward-looking management
In the face of global climate change and to keep the temperature rise below 2℃, we look at corporate growth risks and potential market opportunities and we actively prepare for and face the challenges.
Carbon 2020
In 2015, the Carbon 2020 plan to reduce carbon emissions by 1 million tonnes over 5 years was proposed. A product life-cycle approach was to be taken to reduce carbon emissions through materials design and selection, localized purchasing and 4R strategy, energy-saving production, green transport and low-power panels. Cumulative progress reached 194 millon tonnes in 2020 with 1.3% coming from green transport and logistics, 30% coming from green manufacturing and 68.7% coming from product innovation.
Achievement of cumulative carbon reduction contribution
194 million tonnes CO2e
SDGs 2025 carbon reduction target
The impact of climate change on the world's regional economies, countries, industries and even individuals has become increasingly deep and serious. Therefore, in the SDG13 climate action target of 2025, AUO set a both direct and indirect active carbon redcution goal: The emission reduction target is based on life cycle, continue to reduce carbon emissions by a cumulative 6.5 million tonnes of CO2e. It is expected by expanding the scope of impact and driving more active carbon reduction efforts to allow the organization moving toward smart manufacturing technology enhancement and product / service transformation, and attending the absolute carbon emissions reduction by the entire organization.
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.
