In 2024, STMicroelectronics reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 538,136,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 171,347,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2, market-based), and 3,837,356,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The previous year, 2023, saw total emissions of about 906,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 514,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 272,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 120,000,000 kg CO2e. STMicroelectronics has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50% reduction in both direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions by 2025, using 2018 as the baseline year. This target is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and aligns with the 1.5°C scenario outlined in the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the company plans to source 100% renewable energy by 2027. The company has made significant strides in reducing emissions, achieving an 11% decrease in Scope 2 emissions in 2019 compared to 2018, and a 14% reduction in Scope 1 emissions during the same period. Looking ahead, STMicroelectronics aims for carbon neutrality by 2027, encompassing all direct and indirect emissions, including Scope 3 emissions related to product transportation, business travel, and employee commuting. Overall, STMicroelectronics is committed to a comprehensive approach to sustainability, with clear targets and a roadmap to significantly reduce its carbon footprint while transitioning to renewable energy sources.
