Qualcomm Incorporated has set a Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) approved net-zero target to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2040. This includes a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year, and to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. The company also has a long-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040 from a FY2020 base year. Qualcomm is also a signatory to The Climate Pledge, committing to achieve net-zero carbon by 2040.
