In 2024, ASM International N.V., headquartered in the Netherlands, reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1,839,900,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 2,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,300,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 1,837,100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by the use of sold products, which alone accounts for about 1,291,900,000 kg CO2e. ASM has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50.4% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2032, using 2021 as the base year. Furthermore, the company targets a 90% reduction in these emissions by 2035. In terms of Scope 3 emissions, ASM aims for a 58.2% reduction per EUR of value added by 2032 and a 97% reduction by 2035. The company has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2035, allowing for the neutralisation of any remaining emissions through high-confidence carbon removal mechanisms. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect ASM's commitment to addressing climate change within the semiconductor industry.
