In 2024, the largest contributors to Lam Research's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Lam Research reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 91,681 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 14,905 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 6.15 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Lam Research reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 6.15 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 2.88, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Lam Research ranked 15 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Lam Research is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Lam Research reported a total carbon footprint of 10,322,122 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 37.98% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Lam Research's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.87% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 1.25%.a
