Infineon’s climate strategy is founded on two pillars: continuous reduction of its own emissions and the active contribution Infineon and its innovative products and solutions make to climate protection thanks to better resource management. 

Energy efficiency, intelligent PFC abatement concepts and hence reducing CO2 emissions have long been core elements of Infineon’s business model. Through the use of its products and solutions by the customers of Infineon, 53 times more CO2 can currently be avoided than is generated during production. All in all, products and solutions from Infineon helped reduce emissions by a net total of 140 million tons of CO2 equivalent last fiscal year – after deducting its own footprint.

Going carbon neutral: the next strategic step to fulfill our mission

Making life greener is part of the company’s mission. Our goal is to become carbon neutral by 2030.

Infineon has set itself the goal of becoming carbon-neutral by the end of the 2030 fiscal year in terms of scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. We want to make an active contribution to global CO2 reduction and to the implementation of the targets set out in the Paris Climate Agreement.

Emissions have been cut by 84 percent over the 2019 levels in 2025. 

Our approach

  1. Avoiding direct emissions and further reducing energy consumption
  2. Purchasing green electricity with guarantees of origin for unavoidable emissions
  3. Compensate the smallest part by certificates that combine development support and CO2 reduction

Infineon is extending its climate strategy to include scope 3 emissions

In December 2023, Infineon committed itself to setting a science-based target (SBT) in relation to climate, thus extending its climate strategy to include the supply chain. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is regarded as a benchmark for climate protection measures in the private sector. The initiative provides companies with a clearly defined path towards a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. 

By extending its climate strategy to include scope 3 emissions, Infineon is now working closely with partners in the supply chain and attaches particular importance to continuing to improve the availability and accuracy of data from its supply chain.

Already by the end of the 2025 fiscal year, our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions were 84 percent below the emissions of the base year 2019 (scope 1: 179,114 t COe; scope 2: 10,349 t COe). 

Factors contributing   to this reduction were the expansion of smart abatement concepts, the implementation of energy efficiency programs as well as the switch to green electricity in Europe and North America and at our largest sites in Malaysia.
