Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHG Scope 1 and Scope 2)
In accordance with the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard for greenhouse gas emissions inventory, LITEON’s direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) and indirect GHG emissions (Scope 2) amounted to 148,587.58 tons of CO2e (market-based) in 2023. This represents a decrease of 36,701.0147 tons of CO2e compared to 2022, marking a reduction of 19.81%. Furthermore, emissions were 138,367.6775 tons of CO2e lower than the baseline year of 2014, resulting in a decrease of 48.22%. The carbon intensity was recorded at 1.08 tons of CO2e per million NTD in revenue, which is 12.97% lower than in 2022 and 46.98% lower than the baseline year of 2014. These results meet the estimated reduction target set by the SBT carbon pathway while also achieving a carbon intensity reduction target of 33.51% for 2023.
Greenhouse Gas Value Chain Inventory (GHG Scope 3)
To enhance the value of the LITEON value chain and address key factors for mitigating climate change, LITEON not only conducts emissions inventories for its own operations but also adheres to the ISO 14064:2018 and GHG Protocol standards. This approach allows LITEON to identify emission hotspots across the value chain and extend its carbon management efforts to its business partners through emission verification and disclosure.
In 2023, LITEON utilized materiality identification standards alongside assessment factors—including emissions, improvement potential, and quantification methods—to analyze emissions related to upstream raw materials, business travel, employee commuting, water treatment, and upstream fuel and energy activities for its Scope 3 inventory. This assessment revealed a total of 12 categories within Scope 3, specifically Categories 4 to 6. LITEON is committed to collaborating with its value chain partners to develop low-carbon products by implementing strategies such as green product design to combat climate change and global warming.
