- Global supply chain challenges in the aerospace industry, such as material and labor shortages.
- Increasing raw material costs due to carbon taxes levied overseas.
- Rising electricity costs due to government policies.
- Potential losses due to supply chain disruptions from domestic and international extreme weather events.
- Changes in customer behavior in the long term.
Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC)
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 70.5K tCO2e (2022); 97850.6539 tCO2e (2022 entire group). By scope: Scope 1: 1.4K + 3035.96 + 3069.02 = 7540.67 (2023 preliminary); Scope 2: 25.9K + 18558.20 + 23345.02 = 67763.94 (2023 preliminary); Scope 3: 11.8K + 4618.12 + 9580.13 = 25999.40 (2023 preliminary). Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.

📊 Emissions by Scope (2023)
| Scope | What it covers | Reported value |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | Direct emissions from sources the company owns or controls (fuel combustion, company vehicles, process and fugitive emissions). | 1.4K + 3035.96 + 3069.02 = 7540.67 (2023 preliminary) |
| Scope 2 | Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat and cooling. | 25.9K + 18558.20 + 23345.02 = 67763.94 (2023 preliminary) |
| Scope 3 | Other indirect emissions across the value chain (purchased goods, business travel, use of sold products, etc.). | 11.8K + 4618.12 + 9580.13 = 25999.40 (2023 preliminary) |
