In 2023, Nvidia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 12,346,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 60,671,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for around 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e. Nvidia has made significant strides in addressing its carbon footprint, particularly in its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which totalled about 73,017,000 kg CO2e in 2023. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their climate commitments. Historically, Nvidia's emissions have fluctuated, with notable figures from previous years including approximately 1,296,150,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and 2,074,450,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives, indicating a potential area for future focus as it seeks to enhance its sustainability efforts. Overall, while Nvidia has made progress in tracking and reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Nvidia is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
