HTC Corp.

Telecommunications Equipment
Leif rating: Likely Good

Headquartered in Taiwan

HTC is a large electronics manufacturer headquartered in Taiwan that has established a formal ESG program with science-based climate targets. The company achieved SBTi net-zero verification, committing to 42% absolute reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and full net-zero by 2050, supported by published carbon footprint assessments like the 92.64 kgCO2e lifecycle analysis for its VIVE XR Elite headset. On labor practices, HTC has documented commitments against child and forced labor with regular supplier audits, though the brand is identified in research as being among tech companies potentially exposed to Uyghur labor supply chain risks.
