Nvidia's emissions data indicates a focus on reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which totalled about 73,017,000 kg CO2e in 2023. However, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting that while Nvidia is tracking its emissions, it has not yet committed to specific reduction goals. Historically, Nvidia has shown a trend of increasing emissions, with total emissions in 2020 reported at approximately 1,296,150,000 kg CO2e, which included 4,846,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 65,936,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets, indicating a potential area for improvement in its climate strategy. Overall, Nvidia's emissions data highlights the importance of transparency in corporate sustainability efforts, while the absence of defined reduction targets may present challenges in meeting future climate commitments.
