In 2023, Hemlock Semiconductor Operations, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1.21 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which totalled 1,210,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were significant, comprising 600,000,000 kg CO2e from capital goods, 410,000,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and 160,000,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 1.1 billion kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in emissions year-on-year. Hemlock Semiconductor Operations has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, and there are no documented climate pledges or SBTi targets. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Corning Incorporated, reflecting the corporate family's commitment to sustainability. Overall, while Hemlock Semiconductor Operations has made strides in reporting its emissions, further clarity on reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its climate action profile.
