Globalfoundries's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Globalfoundries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,778,986,000 kg CO2e, comprising 957,489,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 822,497,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions at this time. In previous years, emissions have fluctuated, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 3,296,257,000 kg CO2e, including 1,649,765,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 811,685,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data in 2023 suggests a potential area for improvement in their reporting and climate strategy. Globalfoundries operates in a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, and while they have not set specific reduction targets, the company is expected to align with industry standards and practices to address climate change effectively.
