Climate Change Management
Winbond embraces the vision of being an "Be a hidden champion in providing sustainable semiconductors to enrich human life". In response to international guidelines and domestic policies geared towards green sustainability, Winbond has implemented the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework to assess the potential climate change risks and opportunities as the basis for promoting climate mitigation and adaptation actions, enhancing the company's operational resilience.
The Winbond Group's greenhouse gas reduction targets were officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on January 8, 2026

Metrics and Targets
2050 Net-Zero Commitment
The Winbond Group's greenhouse gas reduction targets were officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on January 8, 2026, marking an important milestone in the establishment of the Group's greenhouse gas-related metrics and targets.
Using 2023 as the base year, the Group has established greenhouse gas reduction targets covering its entire value chain and has developed short-, medium-, and long-term decarbonization pathways. These include interim reduction targets for 2030 and a long-term commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The Group's decarbonization pathway is aligned with the Paris Agreement objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
Climate Metrics and Targets
By adopting the TCFD framework and publishing climate-related financial disclosures, Winbond assesses its operational resilience in addressing climate-related issues. Going forward, the Group will continue to monitor and manage climate-related metrics, striving to balance business growth with environmental and social responsibility, in support of its vision to "Be a hidden champion in providing sustainable semiconductors to enrich human life."
