Microchip Technology's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Microchip Technology reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 424,370,030 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 282,119,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 1,082,803,180 kg CO2e, which includes emissions from business travel, employee commuting, and purchased goods and services. Microchip has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate action plan. Overall, while Microchip Technology has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
