EM Microelectronic's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, EM Microelectronic reported total carbon emissions of approximately 30,765,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 2,056,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 263,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 30,765,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services, accounting for about 28,012,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, EM Microelectronic has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 2,563,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3, which indicates a significant increase in emissions in 2023. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it joined any formal climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The emissions data from previous years shows a trend of fluctuating emissions, with Scope 1 emissions decreasing from about 2,777,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 2,056,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Scope 2 emissions also saw a reduction from approximately 4,622,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 263,000 kg CO2e in 2023. However, Scope 3 emissions have increased significantly over the same period, highlighting the need for a more robust strategy to address upstream and downstream emissions. Overall, while EM Microelectronic has made strides in reducing its direct emissions, the lack of formal reduction targets and the increase in Scope 3 emissions suggest that further action is necessary to align with global climate goals.
