Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Broadcom decreased by 17.56%, 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 Broadcom were 44,167 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, Broadcom's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 60.79%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Broadcom's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 17.67%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Broadcom reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 135,985 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 204,014 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2020, Broadcom's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have increased by 59.29%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Broadcom's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) fell by 17.53% in 2025, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2025, Broadcom reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Broadcom reported 2,909,646 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 Broadcom includes a breakdown across 12 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, Broadcom reported total Scope 3 emissions of 2,909,646 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 99.43% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0.57% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Broadcom's Scope 3 emissions increased by 20.69%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, Broadcom reported emissions for 12 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 Broadcom's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Broadcom reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 44,167 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 63,890 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.69 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Broadcom reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.69 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 2.73, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Broadcom ranked 8 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Broadcom is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Broadcom reported a total carbon footprint of 3,157,827 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 16.44% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Broadcom's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 92.14% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 6.46%.a
