Globalfoundries's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Globalfoundries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,802,986,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 957,489,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and 822,497,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions accounted for 202,289,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services. Over the years, Globalfoundries has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2021, the company emitted about 2,304,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,304,526,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 423,482,000 kg CO2e. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Overall, while Globalfoundries has made strides in tracking and reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate action strategies to align with industry standards and global climate goals.
