Silicon Labs's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Silicon Labs reported total carbon emissions of approximately 88,762,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 52,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 2,208,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The majority of their emissions, about 84,502,000 kg CO2e, stem from Scope 3, which encompasses various categories such as purchased goods and services (45,825,000 kg CO2e) and use of sold products (27,208,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2023, the company recorded total emissions of about 131,327,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 39,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 4,026,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 127,262,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reliance on upstream and downstream activities. Silicon Labs has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by the end of 2030, using 2021 as a baseline. Additionally, they target a 50% reduction in these emissions at their Austin headquarters by the end of 2025, compared to a 2018 baseline. These targets reflect the company's commitment to sustainability and align with science-based targets. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Silicon Labs independently reports its carbon footprint and climate initiatives.
