Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:
AMD has set a science-based target to achieve a 50% absolute reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, with a 2020 base year. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C scenario.
In 2022, AMD reported achieving a 19% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to its 2020 baseline.
Previously, AMD had committed to a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2020 from a 2014 base year, which they indicated they met. As part of their SBTi commitments, they also aim to improve the compute performance per watt of energy consumed by their mobile APU processors by 2500% by 2020 (from a 2014 base year). Furthermore, AMD has set goals for suppliers' wafer foundry Scope 1 emissions to remain 30% below the Semiconductor Industry Association average, and for wafer foundry electricity use to stay 40% below the industry average.
AMD's headquarters are located in the US, and their industry is Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. (31). The company does not currently appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation.
