Intel's reported carbon emissions
Intel, a leading electrical machinery and apparatus manufacturer headquartered in the US, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. In 2024, Intel reported a significant total of approximately 26.7 billion kg CO2e. This figure is composed of Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 1.1 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 97 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 25.1 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were largely driven by purchased goods and services, which accounted for approximately 7.7 billion kg CO2e, and capital goods at approximately 2.9 billion kg CO2e. Intel has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims for a 10% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, with a baseline year of 2019 or 2020 depending on the specific report. Furthermore, Intel is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2040. In addition to these, Intel is working to reduce Scope 3 GHG supply chain emissions by 30% from a 2021 baseline and reach net-zero upstream Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050. These commitments are outlined in various sustainability reports, including those from 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24, as well as their Climate Transition Action Plan.
