Microchip Technology's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Microchip Technology reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,000,179,000 kg CO2e, comprising 439,683,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 255,218,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 108,280,3180 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting. Over the years, Microchip has shown fluctuations in emissions, with notable peaks in 2016 and 2018. For instance, in 2018, the company recorded approximately 1,377,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 529,370,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 328,915,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 519,608,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Microchip Technology, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, Microchip Technology's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the need for strategic climate action to address their environmental impact effectively.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Microchip Technology is committed to some reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
