Metrics and Targets
Towards Net Zero Emissions
To steadily advance towards sustainability, Winbond has combined its corporate sustainability strategy and ethos to establish short-term (by 2030), medium-term (by 2040), and long-term (by 2050) net-zero goals. Additionally, Winbond has developed a roadmap to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 (see Figure 6) and is undertaking comprehensive actions towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
1
- Carbon Emission Management (Greenhouse Gas Inventory, Product Carbon Footprint), Energy Management System, Circular Economy
- Process Gas Reduction (Improved Utilization)
- New Exhaust Gas Reduction Technology
- Fluorinated Gas Substitution Technology
2
- Energy-consuming Equipment Replacement (Motors and Heating Equipment), Usage Management (Energy-saving Exhaust Systems), AI-enabled Energy Monitoring (Smart Air Conditioning)
- Renewable Energy (Wind Energy, Solar Photovoltaic, and Biomass Energy)
- Low-carbon Transportation
- Low-carbon Materials
- Carbon-neutral Natural Gas
- Hydrogen Energy
3
- Research and implement Nature-based Solution
- Research technology-based Solution
Climate-Related Management Metrics
The introduction of the TCDF management framework and publication of TCFD report allows Winbond to assess our operational resilience in the face of climate issues. In the future, we will continue to track and monitor our climate management metrics so that we can pursue corporate growth while also working to support and protect the environment and society so that we can realize our corporate vision of “Be a hidden champion in providing sustainable semiconductors to enrich human life”.

Note:
- The 128Mb~512Mb products were mass-produced in 49BGA package, and the 1.2V/128Mb products were mass-produced in WLCSP (Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package).
- This calculation was based on 25nm 1.2V/128Mb HyperRAM product.
- Calculations were based on the entire range of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) products including the process evolution.
- Calculations were based on the entire range of flash memory products including the process evolution.
- The challenge in meeting targets was linked to the global economic recession in 2023, resulting in decreased production capacity. Furthermore, the Kaohsiung Fab not yet attained economies of scale, contributing to elevated average electricity consumption and emissions per unit product.
