Aixtron's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, Aixtron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 461.9 million kg CO2e, comprising 127,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 6,298 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 461.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a significant increase from 2024, where total emissions were approximately 493.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 232,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 5,389 kg CO2e. Aixtron has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2045. The company has established a near-term target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, aligning with the 1.5 °C pathway as recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This commitment is supported by a Letter of Commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Notably, Aixtron achieved a substantial reduction of nearly 52% in emissions from 2019 to 2020, decreasing from approximately 4,215.37 tonnes CO2e to about 2,031.08 tonnes CO2e across both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company is actively working on improving energy management systems and optimising processes to further reduce emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from the use of sold products. Aixtron's initiatives also focus on promoting energy-efficient technologies and researching sustainable solutions, contributing positively to climate change mitigation. The company employs Guarantees of Origin (GOs) for renewable energy accounting and is committed to substituting CO2-intensive energy sources at its production sites.
