Soitec's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Soitec reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 285,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 6,232,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 15,483,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 263,773,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2023, where they were about 4,670,000 kg CO2e, and a reduction in Scope 2 emissions from 28,234,000 kg CO2e. However, Scope 3 emissions increased from 313,927,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Soitec has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25.2% by 2026, using a 2020 baseline of 22,833 tCO2e, targeting a reduction to 17,079 tCO2e. Additionally, the company is committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 35.3% per million Euros of value added within the same timeframe. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The company aims for near-zero emissions in Scope 1 and 2 by the mid-2020s, with a longer-term goal of a 37% reduction by 2030 compared to the 2020 baseline. Soitec's emissions data and climate commitments reflect its proactive approach to sustainability within the semiconductor industry, headquartered in France.
