Taiwan Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (TSC) today announced the official release of its 2024 Sustainability Report, the third report published by the company. The report provides a comprehensive disclosure of TSC’s performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects, serving as a key platform for communicating with stakeholders and aligning with international sustainability standards. Guided by the four strategic pillars of Global TSC, Low-Carbon TSC, Agile TSC, and Vibrant TSC, TSC continues to implement its sustainability roadmap and demonstrate its long-term commitment to responsible business practices.

In 2024, TSC completed the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) quantitative climate risk assessment and, for the first time, fully responded to the international CDP Climate Change and Water Security questionnaires. These globally recognized platforms enhance transparency and strengthen competitiveness in the international market. Compared with 2023, TSC reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 7,718 metric tons of CO₂e. Renewable energy usage increased to 23%, and the company launched its ISO 14067 Product Carbon Footprint program, underscoring decisive actions in its low-carbon transformation.

TSC continues to foster a people-centered workplace by promoting competency modules and comprehensive training mechanisms. In 2024, the company maintained zero occupational disease cases for the third consecutive year and received recognition from Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare as a “Healthy Workplace” certified company. Beyond the workplace, TSC actively contributes to society through initiatives such as blood donation drives, charitable gift voucher programs, and cultural and arts sponsorships, extending care and support to communities in need.

In 2024, TSC implemented the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System at its Taipei headquarters, ensuring its cybersecurity framework meets international standards and customer requirements for supply chain security. On the innovation front, R&D expenditure accounted for over 3% of net sales for the second consecutive year, with a restructured core product development team accelerating product innovation and maintaining zero-defect quality standards.

The 2024 Sustainability Report is more than a record of achievements—it reaffirms TSC’s dedication to advancing sustainability governance, driving low-carbon transformation, and creating long-term value together with stakeholders.
