TSMC fell behind Intel, Samsung in terms of green electricity ratio
TSMC announced this September to bring the RE100 deadline ahead to 2040, helping raise its score for climate commitment from C- to C; however, Taiwanese companies in general fall behind international standards in terms of carbon reduction and renewable electricity ratio, said Fang Chun-wei (方君維), climate & energy campaigner of Greenpeace East Asia.
