Hemlock Semiconductor Operations's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Hemlock Semiconductor Operations reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,800,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,200,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,400,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a continued increase in emissions over the years, with 2018 figures showing about 2,800,000,000 kg CO2e, 2017 at approximately 2,900,000,000 kg CO2e, and 2016 at about 2,950,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the rising emissions, Hemlock Semiconductor has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests a need for enhanced transparency and accountability in their climate strategy. As a major player in the semiconductor industry, Hemlock's emissions profile reflects broader challenges faced by the sector in addressing climate change and transitioning towards sustainable practices.
