ASML Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments
ASML, headquartered in the Netherlands and operating within the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. (31) industry, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. In 2025, the company reported a total of approximately 11.6 billion kg CO2e in greenhouse gas emissions. This figure comprises about 25 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, around 1 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 11.6 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The most significant contributor to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 was the "use of sold products," accounting for roughly 6.4 billion kg CO2e, followed by "purchased goods and services" at approximately 4.4 billion kg CO2e.
ASML has set ambitious targets to achieve carbon neutrality and reduce its emissions:
- By 2025: The company aims for carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
- By 2030: ASML has a target to achieve net zero emissions in its supply chain (Scope 3 upstream). They also aim to reduce the intensity of Scope 3 emissions to approximately 1,016 tonnes CO2e per € million gross profit, representing a 35.3% reduction from 2019 levels.
- By 2040: ASML's long-term vision is to achieve net zero emissions across its entire value chain. This includes a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.
In addition to these broader goals, ASML has also committed to the following specific reductions:
- A 25.2% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025, compared to a 2019 baseline.
- A 75% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2019 base year.
- A 97% reduction in Scope 3 emissions intensity per gross profit by 2040, compared to the 2019 base year.
ASML is a signatory to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which has validated both their near-term (2030) and long-term (2040) emission targets. These commitments underscore ASML's dedication to aligning its operations with global climate goals and mitigating its impact on the environment.
