In 2023, Wolf Speed reported total carbon emissions of approximately 355,348,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 113,683,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 307,915,772,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions from 2022, which were about 309,299,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions rose from approximately 96,349,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions also saw a slight increase from 300,920,068,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Wolf Speed's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. Overall, while Wolf Speed has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
