carbon management
the total co2 emissions in 2020 were 190,974.17 tonnes (category 1 & category 2) with an increase of 13,804.85 metric tonnes from 2019, and emissions per million cny turnover were 4.02 metric tonnes, a decrease of 0.83 metric tonnes from 2019. since the introduction of the inspection of scope 3 of the taiwan-tt facility in 2018, the facilities in china also began theirs in 2019.
