According to the carbon reduction commitment made by SBT, the direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions of category 1 and category 2 will be reduced by 20% in 2030 compared with 2016. For the third party in the value chain, the carbon emission of Category 3 will be reduced by 17% in 2030 compared with 2016. The reduction target of Category 3 will be higher than that of Taiwan's peers, which shows the commitment of FET to work together with the upstream and downstream value chains to save energy and reduce carbon and reduce environmental impact.
