Semiconductor Manufacturing's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Semiconductor Manufacturing reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,607,939,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 843,517,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 1,764,422,000 kg CO2e. This marks a slight increase in emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were approximately 2,558,421,000 kg CO2e. The company has not specified any reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As such, their current climate commitments remain unclear, and there are no documented reduction strategies in place. The semiconductor industry is under increasing pressure to address carbon emissions, and Semiconductor Manufacturing's lack of defined targets may impact its competitive positioning in a market that increasingly values sustainability.
