Low Carbon Management Policy

In 2023, ASPEED Technology has determined its carbon reduction plans and strategies, which have been submitted to the Board of Directors for approval, with its short-, medium-, and long-term target plans detailed as follows. We will review rolling adjustments every year based on actual conditions and attention to changes in international regulations. In addition, as an important component of the global data center and customer application, ASPEED Technology’s chips can reduce chip energy consumption through our own R&D strength, which will benefit the decarbonization of the entire industry’s upstream and downstream supply chain. In the future, we will focus on how to continuously improve the energy consumption of our core products and to develop more revolutionary innovative applications to help reduce carbon emissions during our operations.

Net Zero Targets

ASPEED Technology set net-zero targets and paths in response to the SBTi SME Science-Based Targets initiative, and in November 2023, the application was approved. With the short-term target is of controlling short-term warming by 1.5°C, we have committed to achieve a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, with 2021 as the base year. At the same time, we plan to conduct a comprehensive Scope 3 inventory through GHG Protocol in the medium to long term. We promise to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions and achieve net zero by 2050.

GHG Inventory and Carbon Reduction Planning

ASPEED Technology’s Sustainability Committee reports sustainability execution results biannually to the Board of Directors. In response to environmental topics and reduction of GHG, we do not operate a factory, but we still hope to play a role in the global climate change in the semiconductor industry chain. Since 2021, ASPEED Technology has completed the ISO 14064-1:2018 thirdparty GHG inspection certification at the organizational level every year, and the carbon management project was presented to the Board for approval in 2023. The Company has passed the science-based carbon reduction targets SBTi SME net zero target and path planning and will implement Scope 1 carbon reduction through the purchase of renewable energy. In 2024, ASPEED will take comprehensive inventories of Scope 1 to Scope 3 greenhouse gases in accordance with GHG Protocol to gradually implement the carbon reduction plan in accordance with this plan.
