Qualcomm

Qualcomm, a US-based semiconductor manufacturer, is committed to achieving net-zero global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2040. The company has set interim targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Additionally, Qualcomm aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030, also from a 2020 baseline.

For the reporting year 2025, Qualcomm reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 44.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 108.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 4.3 billion kg CO2e. This includes significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 3 billion kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 1 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, the company's reported emissions were about 84.5 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, 111.2 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 3.9 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. Looking back to 2023, Qualcomm's Scope 1 emissions were around 80.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 157.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions stood at about 5.1 billion kg CO2e. The year 2022 saw Scope 1 emissions of approximately 104.9 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 160.4 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 6.4 billion kg CO2e.

Qualcomm's climate commitments are aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards, aiming for emissions reductions consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The company also participates in the Amazon Climate Pledge.
