In 2019, Xilinx, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,120,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 25,330,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling around 41,450,000 kg CO2e. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), reflecting the emissions of Xilinx as a current subsidiary. Despite the significant emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Xilinx. The absence of detailed Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Xilinx's commitment to addressing climate change is underscored by its affiliation with AMD, which has established various sustainability initiatives. However, without explicit reduction targets or achievements outlined for Xilinx, the company's climate commitments remain somewhat vague. Overall, while Xilinx has inherited substantial emissions data, its specific climate commitments and reduction strategies are not clearly defined at this time.
