Intel's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Intel reported total carbon emissions of approximately 23,095,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 845,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 47,800,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 23,095,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, particularly in its supply chain and product lifecycle. Intel has made commitments to address its carbon emissions, although specific reduction targets or initiatives were not detailed in the provided information. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Intel acknowledges its emissions, it may not have publicly committed to specific goals for reduction at this time. Overall, Intel's emissions data reflects the challenges faced by large technology companies in managing their carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions. The company's ongoing efforts to improve sustainability and reduce its environmental impact remain critical in the context of global climate commitments.
