The Electrical Machinery Manufacturing industry has reduced its overall emissions by 42% since 2018
Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
ASML, headquartered in the Netherlands and operating in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. industry, reported approximately 11.64 billion kg CO2e in total emissions for 2025. This includes about 25 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1 million kg CO2e (market-based) from Scope 2, and about 11.62 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. For 2024, their total emissions were approximately 11.99 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 24 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 9 million kg CO2e (market-based) from Scope 2, and around 11.96 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. In 2023, ASML's emissions included approximately 19.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 15.9 million kg CO2e (market-based) from Scope 2. For 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 17.3 million kg CO2e, and market-based Scope 2 emissions were about 20.8 million kg CO2e. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were about 19.3 million kg CO2e, and market-based Scope 2 emissions were about 20.1 million kg CO2e. For 2020, total emissions were approximately 8.82 billion kg CO2e, with about 15.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and zero market-based Scope 2 emissions.
ASML is committed to various climate goals. They aim for carbon net neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025. For Scope 3, they are targeting net-zero emissions in their upstream supply chain by 2030 and for business travel and commuting by 2025. They also have an overall target to reduce the intensity of Scope 3 emissions to 1,016 tonnes CO2e per € million gross profit by 2025, representing a 35.3% intensity reduction compared to their 2019 baseline. Furthermore, ASML is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2040. Their Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 25.2% by 2025 from a 2019 base year. For near-term targets, ASML commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 75% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 55% per million EUR value added within the same timeframe. For long-term targets, ASML commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 97% per million EUR value added by 2040 from a 2019 base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
