Aixtron's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Aixtron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 380,265,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 120,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 4,725,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 375,420,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by business travel (1,732,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (1,158,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (34,768,000 kg CO2e). For 2023, Aixtron's total emissions were reported at approximately 426,255,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 197,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 5,546,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 425,681,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions at this time. Overall, Aixtron's emissions data highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of their carbon footprint. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may need to establish clearer climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
