A Net Zero Pathway
Net Zero requires reducing Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions along a 1.5°C pathway and offsetting residual emissions with carbon removals. The semiconductor industry is projected to double in size by 2030. Our greenhouse gas emissions are on-track to quadruple over the same timeframe.
For Applied, 99% of our carbon emissions are generated upstream and downstream in our value chain. The path to Net Zero is dependent upon customer and supply chain partnerships.
Towards Net Zero by 2040
Meet Science-Based Targets
Achieve Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions reduction targets validated by SBTi.
Invest in Clean Energy
Reach 100% renewable electricity use globally this decade.
Collaborate with Customers & Suppliers
Accelerate efforts to decarbonize the semiconductor industry.
Net Zero Playbook
“The only way we can accomplish Net Zero is by working together.” – Gary Dickerson, CEO
SEMICON West 2023 Keynote: A Collaborative Playbook For Net Zero
Accelerating Grid Decarbonization
In 2022, we reached 100% renewable electricity in U.S. and will maintain progress toward 100% renewable electricity globally by 2030. To advocate for advancing grid decarbonization, we are participating members of RE100 and CEBA.
Innovating with Customers
In collaboration with our customers, we are in investing in projects that expand the delivery of clean energy, driving solutions across the value chain through active engagement in the Semiconductor Climate Consortium and imec SSTS, and innovating together to scale carbon removal technologies.
Improving Product Efficiency
We are implementing systems and service products that help customers reduce their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. We are also driving collaborative technology innovation and test 3x30 solutions within the EPIC Center.
Transforming Our Supply Chain
We are qualifying innovative, lower impact product materials and components and collaborating with peers to support suppliers’ decarbonization initiatives. As a founding partner of Schneider Electric’s Catalyze program, we will work together to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy across the semiconductor value chain.
Net Zero Journey
Net Zero Progress Reporting
In line with recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), we monitor current and emerging climate-related risks on an annual basis. We will use the following mechanisms to report transparently on our performance:
