The majority of emissions, about 2.76 billion kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, with the use of sold products being the largest contributor at approximately 2.12 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 548.13 million kg CO2e.

For 2023, MKS Instruments reported a total of approximately 2.24 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 6.85 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 57.89 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 totalled about 2.18 billion kg CO2e, with use of sold products accounting for approximately 1.53 billion kg CO2e and purchased goods and services at about 568.41 million kg CO2e.

In 2022, total emissions were approximately 4.84 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 8.21 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 58.95 million kg CO2e, and a substantial Scope 3 total of about 4.76 billion kg CO2e. The use of sold products was the largest component of Scope 3, at approximately 3.87 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 765.50 million kg CO2e.

MKS Instruments has made significant climate commitments, including a pledge to reduce its combined Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as a baseline. These targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being aligned with a 1.5°C pathway. Additionally, the company commits that by 2030, 69% of its suppliers and customers, by emissions, covering purchased goods and services and the use of sold products, will also have science-based targets.
