ARM's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, ARM reported total carbon emissions of approximately 58,803,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 855,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 13,941,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 57,948,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This reflects a continued reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of their carbon footprint. Over the years, ARM has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions. In 2022, the company reported total emissions of about 45,813,000 kg CO2e, indicating an increase in emissions in 2023. Despite this rise, ARM has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating its carbon footprint, nor has it committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction targets. The company’s emissions data shows a trend of increasing total emissions from 2010, when they reported approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 7,360,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, to the current figures. ARM's emissions intensity, measured by carbon emissions per employee, has varied, with a notable figure of 8,400 kg CO2e per employee reported in 2010. As ARM continues to navigate its climate commitments, the focus remains on understanding and managing its extensive Scope 3 emissions, which encompass a wide range of activities from the supply chain to product use. The absence of specific reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their sustainability strategy.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.

ARM is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
