Mks Instruments's reported carbon emissions

MKS Instruments's total carbon emissions in 2024 were approximately 2.83 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Scope 1 emissions were about 7.25 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 57.12 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for the vast majority at around 2.76 billion kg CO2e. The primary driver of Scope 3 emissions was the use of sold products, contributing about 2.12 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 548.13 million kg CO2e. In 2023, MKS Instruments reported total emissions of approximately 2.24 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 6.85 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) were about 57.89 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 2.18 billion kg CO2e. For this year, the use of sold products was the largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions at about 1.53 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services at approximately 568.41 million kg CO2e. For 2022, MKS Instruments's total emissions were approximately 4.84 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 8.21 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) were approximately 58.95 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were about 4.76 billion kg CO2e. The use of sold products was the most significant contributor to Scope 3 emissions at approximately 3.87 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 765.50 million kg CO2e. In 2021, the company reported total emissions of approximately 98.81 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 3.58 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (location-based) emissions of approximately 65.19 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was partially disclosed, with upstream transportation and distribution at about 30.69 million kg CO2e and business travel at around 1.48 million kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services were noted as a missing data point for this year. For 2020, MKS Instruments's total emissions were approximately 31.35 million kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of about 2.32 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (location-based) emissions of approximately 29.03 million kg CO2e. Business travel was the only reported Scope 3 category at around 1.61 million kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services were also a missing data point for this year. MKS Instruments has committed to reducing its combined Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as the baseline year. This target is recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. The company also commits that 69.0% of its suppliers and customers by emissions, covering purchased goods and services and use of sold products, will have science-based targets by 2030. The company is noted as being on track for its two-year progress towards these targets.
