Wolf Speed's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Wolf Speed reported total carbon emissions of approximately 355,348,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 113,683,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 307,915,772,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This represents a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions from 309,299,000 kg CO2e in 2022, while Scope 2 emissions also rose from 96,349,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions saw a slight increase from 300,920,068,000 kg CO2e in the previous year. Wolf Speed's emissions profile indicates a heavy reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product lifecycle. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent organisations. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Wolf Speed is currently focusing on understanding and managing its emissions rather than committing to specific reduction goals. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, it remains essential for stakeholders to monitor its progress in addressing carbon emissions and implementing sustainable practices.
