Western Digital, a US-based company in the Computer and related services industry, reported its latest carbon emissions for 2025. The company's total reported emissions were about 7.76 billion kg CO2e. This includes approximately 107.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 250.3 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 7.39 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of its Scope 3 emissions, about 6.10 billion kg CO2e, originated from the use of sold products.

Looking back, in 2024, Western Digital's total reported emissions were approximately 8.19 billion kg CO2e. This comprised around 144.0 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 521.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 7.53 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Western Digital has established several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in its operations by 2032. Furthermore, Western Digital has committed to a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2020 base year. This commitment is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which classifies these targets as consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, Western Digital intends to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 50% per petabyte capacity sold by 2030, also from a 2020 base year.
