Nordic Semiconductor's reported carbon emissions
Nordic Semiconductor's total carbon emissions for 2024 were approximately 95.9 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. In 2024, Scope 1 emissions were 0 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions amounted to approximately 1.4 million kg CO2e (market-based). The vast majority of emissions, approximately 95.9 million kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor at approximately 84.2 million kg CO2e.
For 2023, Nordic Semiconductor reported total emissions of approximately 73.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were 0 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were about 1.6 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 71.7 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for about 59 million kg CO2e.
Nordic Semiconductor has set ambitious climate targets. They pledge to cut absolute GHG emissions across Scopes 1 and 2 by 60% and Scope 3 emission intensity by 60% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Furthermore, the company aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, with ongoing reductions planned each decade. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario. The company's Scope 1 and 2 targets are being met on track for both two-year and five-year assessments.
