Standard Microsystems Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Microchip Technology Incorporated

Standard Microsystems Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. However, it is important to note that emissions data may be cascaded from its parent company, Microchip Technology Incorporated, which operates at a higher corporate level. As a current subsidiary of Microchip Technology, Standard Microsystems Corporation may align with the broader climate commitments and reduction initiatives set forth by its parent organisation. While no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been identified for Standard Microsystems, the overarching corporate family may engage in industry-standard climate initiatives, such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Given the lack of direct emissions data and specific commitments from Standard Microsystems Corporation, it is advisable to refer to Microchip Technology Incorporated for comprehensive insights into their climate strategies and performance metrics.
