In 2023, Nvidia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 12,346,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 60,671,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The company has shown a significant increase in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from the supply chain and product use. In 2022, Nvidia's total emissions were about 2,701,477,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 4,612,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 78,210,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a growing carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which reached approximately 2,701,477,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Nvidia has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as per the latest data, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Nvidia is aware of its emissions, it has not publicly committed to specific goals for reduction. Overall, Nvidia's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to address its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of its total emissions.
