In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Applied Materials amounted to 222,350 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Applied Materials decreased by 1.81%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Applied Materials were 54,264 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Applied Materials's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 54.05%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Applied Materials's Scope 1 emissions increased by 6.87%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 59,721 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 168,086 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Applied Materials's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have increased by 16.18%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Applied Materials's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Applied Materials's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported 20,546,581 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Applied Materials includes a breakdown across 13 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported total Scope 3 emissions of 20,546,581 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 16.62% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 83.38% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Applied Materials's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 59.24%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Applied Materials's Scope 3 emissions increased by 10.67%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported emissions for 13 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Applied Materials's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 54,264 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 28,367 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1.91 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1.91 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 3.11, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Applied Materials ranked 11 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Applied Materials is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Applied Materials reported a total carbon footprint of 20,768,931 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 10.52% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Applied Materials's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.93% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.81%.a
