Winbond Group Receives SBTi Validation for Science-Based Emission Reduction Targets, Advancing a Net-Zero Value Chain Roadmap

In response to the severe challenges posed by global climate change, corporate sustainability has rapidly progressed from commitment to concrete action. Only through science-based approaches and long-term strategic planning can companies effectively drive low-carbon transformation. Winbond Electronics announced that on January 8, 2026, it officially obtained target validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), demonstrating the Group’s firm determination to advance climate action through science-based governance and systematic management.

Using 2023 as the base year, Winbond has established greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets covering its entire value chain, along with a long-term roadmap toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The Company’s decarbonization pathway aligns closely with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C, underscoring the strong connection between Winbond’s business strategy and international climate action.

For its near-term goals, Winbond commits to reducing absolute GHG emissions from Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (energy indirect emissions) by 42% by 2030, compared with the base year. For Scope 3 emissions—specifically from purchased goods and services, as well as the use of sold products—the Company has set a 25% absolute reduction target. Winbond will continue collaborating closely with supply chain partners to enhance emission reduction performance across the ecosystem.

Looking toward the long term, Winbond has established targets for achieving a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050, as well as a parallel 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions, progressively realizing a net‑zero pathway that encompasses its full value chain.

The approval of Winbond’s SBTi targets marks a significant milestone in aligning with international climate governance standards. It also highlights the Company’s pivotal role within the semiconductor industry—continuing to leverage technological innovation, operational resilience, and robust governance mechanisms to advance low-carbon transformation and lead the industry toward sustainable development.
