However, their current renewable energy ambition and action are low compared to their industrial position.                                    <\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"chart-section\"> <!-- print .no-company-chart if no data-->\n                                <div class=\"chart-wrap\">\n\n                                \n                                    <ul class=\"charts-links\">\n                                                                                <li><a href=\"#\" class=\"company-chart-button active\" data-chart=\"sk-hynix_0\">GHG emissions<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                                                                        <li><a href=\"#\" class=\"company-chart-button\" data-chart=\"sk-hynix_1\">Electricity consumption<\/a><\/li>\n                                                                                                                    <\/ul>\n                                    <div class=\"company-chart-area\"><\/div>\n                                    <p class=\"nodata-msg\">No Data Available.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"ways-to-100-renewable-link\">\n                                <a href=\"#\" class=\"read-more-link\" data-target=\"sk-hynix-way\"><span>Pathways to 100% renewable energy by 2030<\/span> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.do5.documentonready.com\/rict-web-report\/assets\/imgs\/btn-arrow.svg\" width=\"39\" alt=\"Read More\" \/><\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div id=\"sk-hynix-way\" class=\"ways-to-100-renewable\">&#8211; Transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050 and apply it worldwide ASAP<br \/>&#8211; Set 100% renewable energy targets for manufacturing supply chain with economic incentives<br \/>&#8211; Use effective renewable energy <a href=\"#\" class=\"read-more-link\" data-target=\"procurement-popup\">procurement methods<\/a> aligned with locality, additionality, and advocacy<br \/>&#8211; Engage with stakeholders to advocate for renewable energy-friendly policies and investments.<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"company-content \" data-company=kioxia>\n                            <div class=\"temperature-alignment\">\n                                <div class=\"wrap\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"year-alignments\">\n                                            <h3>Temperature Alignment <span>(scope 1+2)<\/span><\/h3>\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"temperature-chart\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.do5.documentonready.com\/rict-web-report\/assets\/imgs\/company_temperature\/kioxia.svg\" alt=\"TSMC\">\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                        <div class=\"transition-progress\">\n                                        <h3>Transition progress <strong>No Target <\/strong><\/h3>\n                                        <div>\n                                            <span>2023<\/span>\n                                            <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.do5.documentonready.com\/rict-web-report\/assets\/imgs\/progress-arrow.svg\"  alt=\"arrow\" \/><\/span>\n                                            <span>2050<\/span>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"teaser\">\n                                <div class=\"teaser-content\">\n                                    <h3><span>Kioxia<\/span> &#8211; Climate risk and action taken by the company<\/h3>\n                                    <p id=\"kioxia-description\">\n                                        Kioxia is at risk of factory closures due to climate change-related natural disasters.

The purchase of RECs does not add any new renewable energy to the grid. For this reason, RECs are one of the least impactful forms of renewable energy procurement.<\/p>\n                            <div class=\"expand-content\" id=\"read-more-content-5\">\n                                <ol>\n                                    <li>Instead of purchasing RECs, semiconductor manufacturers should purchase renewable energy with addictionality through <strong>Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), onsite generation and investment<\/strong>.<\/li>\n                                    <li>In Taiwan, for example, large electricity consumers like TSMC have bought up the majority of existing RECs instead of constructing their own renewable energy infrastructure. TSMC dominates Taiwan\u2019s electricity market and should pursue carbon neutrality by building onsite solar and investing in renewable energy power stations, rather than through the purchase of RECs.<\/li>\n                                <\/ol>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <a href=\"#\" data-target=\"read-more-content-5\" data-read-less-text=\"Read less\" data-read-more-text=\"Read more\" class=\"expand-link\">Read more<\/a>\n                        <\/li>\n                    <\/ol>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/section>\n            <section id=\"footer-share\" class=\"mobile-only\">\n                <h3>Share the report via<\/h3>\n                <div class=\"wrap\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greenpeace.org%2Feastasia%2Finvisible-emissions%2F\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"social-button facebook-btn\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Facebook<\/span><\/a>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?related=greenpeaceeasia&#038;text=share_text,%20via%20@greenpeaceeasia&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greenpeace.org%2Feastasia%2Finvisible-emissions%2F&#038;utm_source%3Dtwitter\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"social-button twitter-btn\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Twitter<\/span><\/a>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=share_text,%20via%20@greenpeaceeasia&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greenpeace.org%2Feastasia%2Finvisible-emissions%2F&#038;utm_source%3Dtwitter\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"social-button linkedin-btn\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"sr-only\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/section>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"content-footer\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div id=\"three-scenarios\">\n        <p>The three scenarios are:<\/p>\n        <ul>\n            <li>\n            Business as usual: The company fails to take actions to meet its climate commitments            <\/li>\n            <li>\n            Commitments delivered: The company&#8217;s existing commitments are fully delivered            <\/li>\n            <li>\n            1.5-degree aligned: The company\u2019s commitments and actions are consistent with 1.5 degrees            <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visually-hidden\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.do5.documentonready.com\/rict-web-report\/assets\/imgs\/bg-dark2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/3.6.4\/jquery.min.js\" integrity=\"sha512-pumBsjNRGGqkPzKHndZMaAG+bir374sORyzM3uulLV14lN5LyykqNk8eEeUlUkB3U0M4FApyaHraT65ihJhDpQ==\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstatic.com\/charts\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/gsap\/3.11.5\/gsap.min.js\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/gsap\/3.11.5\/ScrollTrigger.min.js\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/gsap\/3.11.5\/ScrollToPlugin.min.js\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/dev.do5.documentonready.com\/rict-web-report\/assets\/dotdotdot.js\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/dev.do5.documentonready.com\/rict-web-report\/assets\/jquery.magnific-popup.min.js\" defer><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/dev.do5.documentonready.com\/rict-web-report\/assets\/all.js?v=20230619\" defer><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tech supply chain is a fast-growing but hidden source of carbon emissions.
