Aixtron's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Aixtron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 493,673,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 232,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 422,000 kg CO2e, and a significant Scope 3 total of about 493,019,000 kg CO2e. This represents a notable increase from 2023, where total emissions were approximately 426,255,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 197,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at around 377,000 kg CO2e. Aixtron has made substantial strides in reducing its emissions, achieving a nearly 52% reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from 2019 to 2020, decreasing from approximately 4,215.37 tonnes CO2e to about 2,031.08 tonnes CO2e. This commitment to sustainability is reflected in their ongoing efforts to monitor and manage emissions across all scopes, including comprehensive reporting on Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the use of sold products and upstream activities. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency and accountability in its climate commitments. Aixtron's initiatives align with industry standards, and while specific science-based targets (SBTi) have not been mentioned, their reduction achievements indicate a proactive approach to climate action.
