This data indicates a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions from 2016, when they were approximately 400,400,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions remained relatively stable, with about 267,655,000 kg CO2e reported that year. Currently, GLOBALFOUNDRIES does not disclose any Scope 3 emissions data. Furthermore, the company has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar climate pledges. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent or related organization, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S. Inc. As the semiconductor industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding environmental impact, the absence of defined reduction commitments may be a point of consideration for stakeholders.
