Nordic Semiconductor's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Nordic Semiconductor reported total carbon emissions of approximately 95,911,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 41,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based) and a significant 95,870,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompasses various categories such as purchased goods and services (84,201,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (1,128,000 kg CO2e). Notably, the company did not report any Scope 1 emissions. In 2023, Nordic Semiconductor's total emissions were about 73,516,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 1,380,000 kg CO2e (location-based) and Scope 3 emissions at 73,330,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their carbon footprint. Nordic Semiconductor has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes by 2050. The company has established near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. Additionally, they aim to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 60% per million USD value added within the same timeframe. Long-term, they target a 90% reduction in absolute emissions across all scopes by 2050. These commitments align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect Nordic Semiconductor's dedication to addressing climate change and reducing its environmental impact.
