KLA, an electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. company headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3.49 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of 6.52 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 35.42 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 3.44 billion kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 emissions in 2024 included use of sold products (approximately 2.52 billion kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 607.32 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, KLA's total emissions were approximately 3.57 billion kg CO2e in 2023, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 7.55 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 35.26 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 3.53 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 4.33 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of 7.96 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 36.96 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 4.28 billion kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 3.3 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of 4.70 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 43.62 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 3.25 billion kg CO2e.

KLA has established several climate commitments, including near-term absolute targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, KLA is committed to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 52% per billion transistors inspected, measured, or processed within the same timeframe (2023 to 2030). These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). KLA also has a long-term goal to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050.
