In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Nordic Semiconductor amounted to 1,104 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 Nordic Semiconductor decreased by 18.34%, 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 Nordic Semiconductor were 0 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Nordic Semiconductor's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 100%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
In 2025, Nordic Semiconductor reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 79 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 1,104 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Nordic Semiconductor's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have increased by 240.74%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Nordic Semiconductor's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) fell by 18.34% in 2025, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2025, Nordic Semiconductor reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Nordic Semiconductor reported 111,782 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 Nordic Semiconductor includes a breakdown across 11 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 12 in 2024, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2025, Nordic Semiconductor reported total Scope 3 emissions of 111,782 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 96.46% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 3.54% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Nordic Semiconductor's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 41.75%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Nordic Semiconductor's Scope 3 emissions increased by 16.6%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, Nordic Semiconductor reported emissions for 11 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 Nordic Semiconductor's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2020, Nordic Semiconductor reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3.9 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 406 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.01 tCO₂e per millions USD.
In 2020, Nordic Semiconductor reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.01 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.93, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.
In 2020, Nordic Semiconductor ranked 2 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).
This places Nordic Semiconductor among the top performers, with one of the lowest emissions intensities relative to peers.
In 2025, Nordic Semiconductor reported a total carbon footprint of 112,886 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 16.11% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Nordic Semiconductor's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.02% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.98%.a
