Silicon Labs

In 2023, Silicon Labs reported total carbon emissions of approximately 131,355,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 39,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,592,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 131,355,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marked a significant increase in total emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which include indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 107,732,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 137,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,853,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 105,744,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a concerning rise in emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which is critical as it often represents the largest portion of a company's carbon footprint. Silicon Labs has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many technology companies are increasingly scrutinised for their environmental impact and are expected to adopt more aggressive climate strategies. Overall, while Silicon Labs has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of clear reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
