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 demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, as evidenced by its reported indirect emission intensity of about 6.9 tonnes CO2e per 8-inch equivalent wafer photomask layer in both 2022 and 2023. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while Semiconductor Manufacturing has made strides in tracking and reporting its emissions, further clarity on reduction commitments and strategies would enhance its climate action profile.

The carbon intensity of the energy grid powering a company's primary operations has a strong influence on its overall carbon footprint. This request for Semiconductor Manufacturing is in CN, which we do not have grid emissions data for.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.

Semiconductor Manufacturing is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
