Autonomous advocacy Prom carbon neutralization, creating a common prosperity circle of a low-carbon society
AUO has adopted a carbon neutralization policy and encourages its stakeholders and partners to jointly reduce carbon emissions and pursue carbon neutralization together. The carbon footprints of the organization, products, services, and activities are all inventoried and reduced in a spirit of carbon reduction, which results in net zero greenhouse gas growth amid climate change to create a common-prosperity low-carbon environment.
Internal Carbon Pricing
Since the Paris Agreement came into effect in 2016, AUO has been promoting an internal carbon pricing mechanism, monetizing the carbon costs derived from external climate control policies into the company’s internal carbon price. In order to be closer to the future development scenario of carbon reduction path in the manufacturing industry, AUO adjusted our internal carbon pricing methodology in 2023, incorporating the costs of the energy supply market and the impacts of public sector policies into its estimation factors to close to reduction costs in Scope 2. In 2024, we announced an internal carbon price of NTD 6,999 relative to an external carbon emission cost of NTD 3.46 per kilowatt-hour. AUO applied the implicit price and shawdow price principle to green manufacturing and energyefficiency investments, and for cost-benefit analysis of renewable energy purchases.
Achievements
We have completed 13 internal cases of carbon neutralization of buildings and activities and 21 external cases of carbon neutralization of organizations. If you need to be carbon neutral, please contact us at the following mailbox: csr@weixinqunlm.com
