7.2.3) Carbon reduction and emission reduction process
Have a process for carbon management and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

TKU attaches great importance to energy conservation and carbon reduction and first passed the ISO14064-1 greenhouse gas emission verification in 2013. The scope of verification includes Scope 1 and Scope 2: this defines the scope of direct and indirect emissions for emission sources within the boundaries defined by the university.
Scope 1 mainly directs from the greenhouse gas emissions, such as the use of gasoline in the university, etc.; Scope 2 covers indirect greenhouse gas emissions from energy sources, such as purchased electricity.

The greenhouse gas emissions of TKU are designated from Scope 2, that is, the purchased electricity that accounts for more than 92% of the total emissions. Therefore, energy-saving targets were set as an action plan to reduce carbon emissions, and then the ISO50001 energy management system was introduced to effectively reduce campus electricity consumption while reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In 2020, TKU’s carbon emissions were 13,208 metric tons, a 6.7% reduction from the previous year.
