Xilinx's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data from 2019, Xilinx reported total carbon emissions of approximately 27,450,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 1,612,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and about 25,330,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This indicates a consistent level of emissions over the years, with Scope 1 emissions remaining relatively stable and Scope 2 emissions showing slight fluctuations. Xilinx has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In summary, Xilinx's emissions data highlights a significant reliance on energy consumption, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, but lacks clear commitments or targets for future reductions. This context places Xilinx within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate action, where proactive measures are essential for long-term viability and compliance with global climate goals.
