Asml's reported carbon emissions
As ASML, headquartered in NL, a prominent player in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. (31) industry, we are committed to addressing our carbon footprint and advancing our climate goals.
In 2025, ASML reported a total of approximately 11.6 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 25 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and about 151 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (location-based). Scope 3 emissions accounted for the vast majority, at approximately 11.6 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to ASML's Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 4.37 billion kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 6.44 billion kg CO2e).
In 2024, ASML's total emissions were approximately 11.99 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 24 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were approximately 228 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for this period were approximately 11.96 billion kg CO2e.
ASML has set ambitious targets for emissions reduction:
- By 2025: The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. They also aim to reduce business travel and commuting emissions (Scope 3 downstream) to net zero by this year.
- By 2030: ASML has a target to achieve net-zero emissions within its supply chain (Scope 3 upstream). Furthermore, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 75% from a 2019 base year, and reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity by 55% per million Euro value added.
- By 2040: ASML is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its entire value chain. This includes a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% from a 2019 base year, and reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity by 97% per gross profit from the same 2019 baseline.
These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
