Renesas Electronics

Renesas Electronics's climate commitments include a near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 38% by 2030, using 2021 as the base year. The company also aims for carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040. Additionally, Renesas Electronics commits that 70% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, will have set their own targets by 2026.

In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported total GHG emissions of about 7.9 billion kg CO2e. This included approximately 1.24 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, about 433.08 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 23.37 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions were the use of sold products (about 20.6 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 1.6 billion kg CO2e).

For 2023, the company reported total emissions of approximately 2.49 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 156.4 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 647.66 million kg CO2e. In 2019, Renesas Electronics reported total emissions of approximately 1.04 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 48,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 914.46 million kg CO2e. In 2018, total emissions were about 1.18 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 51,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 1.01 billion kg CO2e. The company's 2017 total emissions were about 1.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 53,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 1.1 billion kg CO2e.

Renesas Electronics also provides data on PFC gas emissions per unit of wafer area, which was 120.5 pt in 2024, 128.1 pt in 2022, 134.6 pt in 2021, 169.4 pt in 2020, and 191.4 pt in 2016.
