In 2024, ARM reported total carbon emissions of approximately 101,723,440 kg CO2e. This figure includes 841,600 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 15,680,230 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (location-based), and a significant 100,881,810 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (about 82,066,720 kg CO2e) and business travel (approximately 9,325,490 kg CO2e). In comparison, ARM's total emissions for 2023 were about 58,803,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 855,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at 13,941,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 57,948,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2023 to 2024. ARM has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. However, the company is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its environmental impact.
