GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S. Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2017, GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S. Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 418,141,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 267,780,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This data indicates a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions from 2016, where emissions were approximately 400,400,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions remained relatively stable at about 267,655,000 kg CO2e. Currently, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has not set any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they have emissions data for Scope 3. The absence of a climate pledge or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that the company is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that GLOBALFOUNDRIES is independently reporting its carbon footprint. As the semiconductor industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding sustainability, it will be crucial for GLOBALFOUNDRIES to establish clear climate commitments and reduction targets to align with global climate goals.
