Broadcom's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Broadcom's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 2,410,880,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 53,649,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) totalled approximately 166,752,000 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions stemmed from Scope 3, which accounted for about 2,410,880,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services (approximately 2,181,575,000 kg CO2e). Broadcom has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 38% by 2030, using a 2021 baseline. This target reflects the company's proactive approach to climate action and is part of its broader sustainability strategy. The company is reportedly on track to meet this goal, demonstrating a commitment to significant emissions reductions in the near term. In 2023, Broadcom reported total emissions of approximately 1,847,962,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 58,764,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 140,005,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a trend of increasing emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which highlights the challenges faced in managing indirect emissions across the supply chain. Overall, Broadcom's climate commitments and emissions data underscore its dedication to addressing climate change while navigating the complexities of emissions management in the semiconductor industry.
