Semiconductor Manufacturing's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), headquartered in China (CN), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9.6 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes 961,701,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 2,501,799,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 2,253,682,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The total emissions for the year represent a significant operational footprint, reflecting the company's extensive manufacturing activities. SMIC has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Furthermore, emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that SMIC is independently reporting its emissions. The semiconductor industry is under increasing pressure to address climate change, and while SMIC has not yet established formal reduction targets, it is essential for the company to align with industry standards and expectations to enhance its sustainability profile.
