ARM's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, ARM reported total carbon emissions of approximately 58,803,000 kg CO2e, comprising 855,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 13,941,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 57,948,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued reliance on upstream activities, particularly in purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 42,312,000 kg CO2e. ARM has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. However, the company has consistently reported its emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its sustainability efforts. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that ARM may be in the process of developing a more structured approach to its climate strategy. Overall, ARM's emissions data highlights the substantial impact of its operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which dominate its carbon footprint. The company’s ongoing efforts to address these emissions will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
