In 2024, ASM International N.V., headquartered in the Netherlands, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,843,700,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 2,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,300,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 1,839,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, aiming for a 50.4% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2032 from a 2021 baseline, and a 90% reduction by 2035. Additionally, ASM is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2035, allowing for the neutralisation of any remaining emissions through high-confidence carbon removal mechanisms. In 2023, ASM's total emissions were approximately 2,638,400,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 2,400,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 5,400,000 kg CO2e. The company has also committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 58.2% per EUR of value added by 2032, and by 97% by 2035. ASM's climate commitments align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which recognises their targets as consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The company’s proactive approach to sustainability reflects its dedication to addressing climate change within the semiconductor industry.
