In 2024, Soitec reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 326,647,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 6,570,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 17,007,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 326,647,000 kg CO2e. The company has set ambitious targets to reduce its emissions, aiming for a 25.2% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2026, using a 2020 baseline. This target translates to a decrease from 22,833 tCO2e to 17,079 tCO2e. Additionally, Soitec is committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 35.3% per million Euros of value added within the same timeframe. Soitec's climate commitments include a near-term goal to achieve near-zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2025. The company is actively working towards these targets, which 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 emissions data and reduction targets are sourced directly from Soitec SA, with no data cascaded from a parent or related organization.
