Microchip Technology's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Microchip Technology reported total carbon emissions of approximately 718,470,400 kg CO2e, comprising 424,370,030 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 294,100,370 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. Microchip has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it has not publicly committed to specific reduction goals. Overall, Microchip Technology's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to address its carbon footprint effectively.
