Asml's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, ASML reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 12,071,600,000 kg CO2e, comprising 23,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 9,300,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and approximately 12,038,800,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for carbon net neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025, with a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 25.2% from a 2019 baseline. ASML's Scope 3 emissions reduction target is to decrease the intensity of these emissions to 1,016 tonnes CO2e per € million gross profit by 2025, representing a 35.3% reduction compared to 2019 levels. Additionally, the company aims to achieve net zero emissions from business travel and commuting by 2025, and net zero emissions in its supply chain (Scope 3 upstream) by 2030. Long-term goals include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040 and a 97% reduction in Scope 3 emissions per million EUR value added by the same year. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect ASML's commitment to the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
