Synaptics's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Synaptics reported total emissions of approximately 1,020,000 kg CO2e, comprising 36,790 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 1,010,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based). The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite these figures, Synaptics has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry trend where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. As a US-based organisation, Synaptics is positioned within a sector increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of establishing clear climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
