Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation (VIS) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 341,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 570,800,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 424,400,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and a slight increase in Scope 2 emissions from 521,200,000 kg CO2e in the same year. Over the past few years, VIS has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions, with Scope 1 emissions decreasing from 337,500,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and Scope 2 emissions remaining relatively stable. Despite these figures, VIS has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from its operations. As a semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Taiwan (TW), VIS operates in an industry that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact. The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not appear to be cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that VIS is independently managing its carbon footprint. Overall, while VIS has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of formal reduction commitments suggests an opportunity for further engagement in climate action initiatives.
