In 2023, VMware's total carbon emissions were approximately 397,008,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes around 3,650,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, about 844,000 kg CO2e (market-based) or 61,224,000 kg CO2e (location-based) from Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 392,515,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions included purchased goods and services (around 190,576,000 kg CO2e), capital goods (approximately 62,933,000 kg CO2e), and business travel (about 44,210,000 kg CO2e).

Looking back, VMware's total emissions in 2018 were approximately 397,907,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 4,454,000 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions at roughly 15,237,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 378,123,000 kg CO2e. In 2016, total emissions were around 115,810,000 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 3,446,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, about 27,754,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 84,610,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

VMware has committed to significant climate action, including achieving net zero carbon emissions for its operations and supply chain by 2030, with validated Science Based Targets (SBTi). Specifically, VMware, Inc. (whose SBTi targets are cascaded from VMware LLC) aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2031 from a FY2019 base year. This target is consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, VMware aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by FY2021 and maintain this through to FY2031. The company also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from employee commuting and fuel-and-energy-related activities by 50% by FY2031 from a FY2019 base year. Furthermore, VMware has a target for 75% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream leased assets, and upstream transportation and distribution, to have science-based targets by FY2025.
