Semiconductor Manufacturing's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Semiconductor Manufacturing reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,607,939,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 843,517,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 1,764,422,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 2,558,421,000 kg CO2e, this represents a slight increase in emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or climate pledges. However, they have reported an indirect emission intensity of about 6.9 tonnes CO2e per 8-inch equivalent wafer photomask layer, which provides insight into their operational efficiency in terms of emissions. Overall, while Semiconductor Manufacturing has made strides in tracking and reporting emissions, the absence of reduction targets and commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy.

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.
