TSMC has an unwavering commitment to driving positive changes. Every year, the Company aligns and keeps pace with international disclosure trends and manages sustainability performance by issuing sustainability reports. TSMC also updates its ESG website on a rolling basis to strengthen information disclosure transparency and accumulate ESG knowledge assets. To improve the ESG website with sustainable and inclusive practices, TSMC has launched a website redesign plan, following the "Web Sustainability Guidelines" and "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines" developed by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The website revamp focused on eight aspects, including User Experience Design, Website Development, Hosting & Infrastructure, Business & Product Strategy, Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Conformance, to reduce website operation energy consumption and digital carbon footprint. Since its launch in January 2024, the revamped ESG website has reduced energy consumption by 9% and carbon emissions by 28%. It has also improved the media accessibility for people with disabilities, working to achieve the goal of a sustainable future.
Sustainable and Inclusive Practices Create More Energy-saving and User-friendly Experiences
Mobile communication technology development drives the demand of high-performance computing and diverse applications, resulting in higher digital carbon footprint of consumers. TSMC is committed to driving technological innovation and sustainable development. To reduce digital energy consumption and achieve the goal of "Leaving No One Behind,” the Company focused its resign on "Sustainability" and "Inclusiveness," making its ESG website more energy-saving and information-friendly. The redesigned website provides an interactive user experience by offering multiple functions such as dark and light modes, color contrast, keyboard input and search, screen reading, and article readers and reducing the threshold of people with visual disability and cognitive disability, making it much easier for everyone to visit the website.
TSMC will continue to focus on global Internet development trends and innovative applications, expanding the accessibility features of its ESG websites and developing multi-language features to satisfy diverse Internet users. At the end of 2023, the Company launched an internal "myESG" one-stop information platform and established ESG Academy to help its employees understand the global sustainability trends and ESG-related activities, extending sustainable value.
