Insights into Qualcomm's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways

As of 2023, Qualcomm has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.

Does Qualcomm have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?

As of 2023, Qualcomm has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.

Qualcomm's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 315,526 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.

As of 2023, Qualcomm is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 49.2% of the planned reduction.

Does Qualcomm have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?

As of 2023, Qualcomm has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 10 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.

Qualcomm's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 25% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 2,752,259 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.

Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Qualcomm has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
