Sumco's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Sumco Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,109,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1 emissions at about 33,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 942,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 1,133,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects the company's ongoing commitment to addressing its carbon footprint within the semiconductor industry. Over the years, Sumco has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its emissions, although specific reduction targets have not been disclosed. As of February 2024, the company has committed to near-term targets but has not set a net-zero goal. The absence of long-term targets indicates a need for further clarity on their future climate strategies. In 2022, Sumco's total emissions were about 1,675,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined at approximately 793,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at around 882,000,000 kg CO2e. This data suggests a trend in emissions management, although the lack of specific reduction initiatives makes it challenging to assess the effectiveness of their climate commitments. Overall, while Sumco is actively engaged in monitoring and reporting its emissions, further transparency regarding specific reduction targets and strategies would enhance its climate commitment profile.
