Climate Commitments and Targets:

Nvidia has set ambitious near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario:

• Absolute Scope 1 and 2 Emissions Reduction: Nvidia commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030, using FY2023 as a base year.
• Scope 3 Emissions Reduction (Use of Sold Products): The company also commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 75% per PetaFLOP within the same timeframe (by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year).
• Renewable Electricity Goal: By the end of FY2025, and annually thereafter, Nvidia expects to achieve and maintain 100% renewable electricity for offices and data centres under its operational control. This commitment aims to result in zero Scope 2 market-based emissions by the end of FY2025.
• Historical Target: Previously, the company aimed to reduce its total Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% between FY2019 and FY2025, in line with a 1.5-degree Celsius warming scenario.
