X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE reported a revenue of approximately USD 816 million, but specific carbon emissions data for that year is not disclosed. The company has not provided information on Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions, indicating a lack of detailed emissions reporting. X-FAB has not set any reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent company or related organisation. The absence of specific emissions figures and reduction initiatives suggests that X-FAB may need to enhance its climate commitments and transparency in emissions reporting to align with industry standards. Overall, while X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE operates within the semiconductor industry, its current climate commitments and emissions data remain unclear, highlighting an opportunity for improvement in sustainability practices.
