Nvidia's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, Nvidia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,925,529,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 12,952,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 228,378,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 6,912,577,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 6,036,105,000 kg CO2e. Nvidia has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using a base year of 2023. This target aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, Nvidia plans to achieve 100% renewable electricity for its offices and data centres by the end of FY25, which is expected to further reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions. In 2024, Nvidia's total emissions were reported at approximately 3,691,911,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 11,896,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 178,087,000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2023, saw total emissions of around 3,588,024,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 9,672,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 142,909,000 kg CO2e. Nvidia's commitment to sustainability is evident in its structured approach to emissions reduction, focusing on both operational efficiencies and renewable energy adoption, thereby positioning itself as a responsible leader in the semiconductor industry.
