Sk Hynix's reported carbon emissions
## SK Hynix: Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments Headquartered in South Korea (KR), SK Hynix is actively engaged in reducing its environmental impact. In 2024, the company reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 10.71 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were around 3.76 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions approximately 3.81 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled about 3.73 billion kg CO2e. SK Hynix has set ambitious long-term goals to achieve Net Zero and RE100 by 2050. To support this overarching commitment, the company has established interim targets for 2030, including maintaining Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions at 2020 levels. They also aim to achieve a 33% renewable energy usage rate by 2030. A dedicated Carbon Management Committee (CMC), formed in 2022, oversees company-wide strategies to reach its Net Zero target. This committee comprises technical experts from various departments, underscoring a cross-functional approach to emissions reduction. The company's reporting indicates a focus on key Scope 3 categories, with purchased goods and services being a significant contributor, accounting for approximately 2.58 billion kg CO2e in 2024. Fuel and energy-related activities also represent a substantial portion, at about 712.53 million kg CO2e for the same year. While SK Hynix is committed to transparency and reduction, it's important to note that some specific Scope 3 categories, such as downstream transportation and distribution, are reported at lower levels of detail, with a figure of approximately 201,000 kg CO2e in 2024. The company's climate commitments are not cascaded from a parent organisation.
