Altera Corp.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Intel Corporation

Altera Corp., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Intel Corporation, which influences its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Altera Corp. has not established its own reduction targets or initiatives, it inherits significant climate commitments from its parent company, Intel Corporation. Intel has set ambitious goals to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, which include targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in various climate initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and RE100. As a subsidiary, Altera Corp. benefits from Intel's comprehensive sustainability strategies, which aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its global operations by 2040. This commitment encompasses all three scopes of emissions, with a focus on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions directly associated with its operations, as well as addressing Scope 3 emissions through supply chain engagement. In summary, while Altera Corp. does not currently report its own emissions data or specific reduction targets, it is aligned with the climate commitments and initiatives of its parent company, Intel Corporation, which plays a crucial role in shaping its environmental strategy.
