Amd's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, AMD reported total carbon emissions of approximately 21,772,203,000 kg CO2e across all scopes, with specific emissions of 10,008,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 36,597,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 21,772,203,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The company has set ambitious targets to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 20% by 2020, using 2014 as the base year. This commitment aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and aims to ensure that emissions reductions are consistent with keeping global warming well below 2°C. AMD's emissions data shows a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for the vast majority of their total emissions in 2023. The company also aims to improve the energy efficiency of its products, targeting a 2500% increase in compute performance per watt for its mobile APU processors by 2020 from a 2014 baseline. Additionally, AMD has set goals for its suppliers to maintain wafer foundry Scope 1 emissions 30% below the Semiconductor Industry Association average and to reduce electricity use by 40% below the industry average. Overall, AMD's climate commitments reflect a proactive approach to reducing its carbon footprint while enhancing the sustainability of its operations and supply chain.
