In 2019, Hemlock Semiconductor Operations reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.8 billion kg CO2e, comprising 800 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1.2 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2018 emissions recorded at about 2.6 billion kg CO2e and 2017 at approximately 2.5 billion kg CO2e. Hemlock Semiconductor Operations is a current subsidiary of Corning Incorporated, which influences its climate commitments and reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Hemlock Semiconductor Operations. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Hemlock Semiconductor Operations has substantial emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets indicates an opportunity for improvement in their climate commitments.
