In 2024, Semiconductor Manufacturing International completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy).
However, Semiconductor Manufacturing International has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Semiconductor Manufacturing International amounted to 3,009,944 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 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Semiconductor Manufacturing International increased by 15.41%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Semiconductor Manufacturing International were 823,765 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2021, Semiconductor Manufacturing International's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 21.09%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Semiconductor Manufacturing International's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 2.34%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2024, Semiconductor Manufacturing International reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,186,179 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2021, Semiconductor Manufacturing International's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have increased by 40.25%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Semiconductor Manufacturing International's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) rose by 23.9% in 2024, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2024, Semiconductor Manufacturing International reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, Semiconductor Manufacturing International reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 823,765 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 62,791 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 13.12 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Semiconductor Manufacturing International reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 13.12 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 10.5, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Semiconductor Manufacturing International ranked 14 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Semiconductor Manufacturing International is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
