ARM's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, ARM reported total carbon emissions of approximately 375,800 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 375,370 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 30 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions also at approximately 375,800 kg CO2e. This marks a significant reduction from previous years, particularly from a total of about 33,720,000 kg CO2e in 2017, indicating a positive trend in their emissions management. ARM's emissions data reveals a consistent focus on reducing their carbon footprint across all scopes. In 2016, the company reported total emissions of approximately 32,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 500,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 16,017,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 16,455,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a need for further commitment in this area. Overall, ARM's emissions data reflects a commitment to reducing their carbon impact, although the absence of formal reduction targets indicates potential for further improvement in their climate 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.
