Amd's reported carbon emissions
AMD, headquartered in the US and operating in the electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. (31) industry, has established ambitious climate commitments. For the reporting year 2024, AMD reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 12.42 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 31.77 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for business travel were approximately 33.47 million kg CO2e.
In 2023, AMD's total Scope 1 emissions were approximately 10.01 million kg CO2e, and its Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 36.60 million kg CO2e. The company reported substantial Scope 3 emissions for 2023, totalling approximately 21.77 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contributions from the use of sold products (about 17.76 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 3.86 billion kg CO2e).
AMD has set a science-based target to achieve a 50% absolute reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, using 2020 as the base year. The company has made progress towards this goal, reporting a 19% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2022 compared to 2020 levels. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario. Furthermore, AMD previously held SBTi-validated targets for a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2020 from a 2014 base year.
