AMD's Carbon Emissions & Climate Commitments
In 2025, AMD's total reported carbon emissions were approximately 27.69 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 13.59 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 29.39 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 27.65 billion kg CO2e. A significant portion of the Scope 3 emissions, about 20.51 billion kg CO2e, stemmed from the use of sold products.
Looking back, AMD's total emissions in 2024 were around 27.52 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 12.42 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at roughly 31.77 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 27.48 billion kg CO2e.
AMD has set a near-term science-based target to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2020 base year. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario. The company has made progress towards this goal, achieving a 19% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2022 compared to its 2020 baseline.
Historically, AMD also had a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 20% by 2020, from a 2014 base year. This target was classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C. Additionally, AMD aimed to improve the compute performance per watt of energy consumed by its mobile APU processors by 2500% by 2020 from a 2014 base-year. The company also set goals for suppliers' wafer foundry Scope 1 emissions to remain 30% below the Semiconductor Industry Association average, and for wafer foundry electricity use to stay 40% below the industry average, based on a normalized manufacturing index.
