In 2024, Nordic Semiconductor reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 95,911,000 kg CO2e. This includes Scope 2 emissions of about 1,352,000 kg CO2e (location-based) and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 95,870,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 84,201,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 5,183,000 kg CO2e). Notably, Nordic Semiconductor has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050. The company has pledged to reduce absolute GHG emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 by 60% and Scope 3 emission intensity by 60% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. Long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute emissions across all scopes by 2050. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect a commitment to sustainable practices within the semiconductor industry. In previous years, Nordic Semiconductor's emissions were reported as follows: in 2023, total emissions were about 73,516,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1,388,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at around 73,330,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were about 90,736,000 kg CO2e, with similar patterns in Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. Overall, Nordic Semiconductor is actively working towards significant reductions in its carbon footprint, demonstrating a strong commitment to addressing climate change and promoting sustainability in its operations.
