Applied Materials's reported carbon emissions

Applied Materials, a US-based electrical machinery and apparatus company, reported approximately 20.5 billion kg CO2e in total emissions for 2025. This figure includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Scope 1 emissions were around 54.3 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions, on a market-based approach, stood at approximately 59.7 million kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions originate from Scope 3, with the use of sold products contributing about 16.8 billion kg CO2e and purchased goods and services accounting for approximately 2.0 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, Applied Materials reported total emissions of approximately 18.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 50.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 67.7 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were dominated by the use of sold products, amounting to about 15.6 billion kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services at approximately 1.75 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 21.1 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 49.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of roughly 71.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were substantial, with the use of sold products contributing approximately 16.7 billion kg CO2e and purchased goods and services at about 2.85 billion kg CO2e. Applied Materials is committed to ambitious climate goals, including a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. They also aim for 100% renewable electricity globally by 2030, with an interim goal of 100% in the US by 2022. Furthermore, the company is working with suppliers on a path to reach net zero emissions by 2040. Their Scope 3 emissions reduction target is 55% per million USD of value added by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year, which has been submitted for review by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Applied Materials has also signed the Climate Pledge.
