In 2026, the total Scope 1 emissions of NVIDIA were 9,822 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, NVIDIA's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 267.18%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2025), NVIDIA's Scope 1 emissions increased by 8.57%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2026, NVIDIA reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 568 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 308,891 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, NVIDIA's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have increased by 374.44%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2025), NVIDIA's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) rose by 35.25% in 2026, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2026, NVIDIA reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2026, NVIDIA reported 10,700,940 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 2026 disclosure of NVIDIA includes a breakdown across 8 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2025, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2026, NVIDIA reported total Scope 3 emissions of 10,700,940 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, NVIDIA's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 474.59%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2025), NVIDIA's Scope 3 emissions increased by 54.8%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2026, NVIDIA reported emissions for 8 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2026, the largest contributors to NVIDIA's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, NVIDIA reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 9,047 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 215,919 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.04 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, NVIDIA reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.04 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, NVIDIA ranked 1 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places NVIDIA among the top performers, with one of the lowest emissions intensities relative to peers.a
In 2026, NVIDIA reported a total carbon footprint of 11,019,653 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 54.12% increase compared to 2025, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to NVIDIA's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.11% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 2.8%.a
