Aixtron's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Aixtron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 431,424,000 kg CO2e, comprising 197,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 5,546,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 425,681,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked an increase in emissions compared to previous years, reflecting the company's growing revenue, which reached about 696,229,689 USD. In 2022, Aixtron's total emissions were approximately 380,265,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 120,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 4,725,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 375,420,000 kg CO2e. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a need for further strategic planning in this area. Aixtron's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of their carbon footprint. The company has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting practices. However, without defined reduction targets, the effectiveness of their climate strategy remains uncertain.
