Infineon develops a methodology for measuring product carbon footprints by integrating customer requirements and best practices.
Quantifying greenhouse gas emissions associated with individual products… A comparative indicator of the climate impact of products.

Infineon Technologies AG (hereafter Infineon) plans to provide PCF data for half of its product portfolio, and ultimately for its entire product portfolio.

Infineon announced on the 11th that it will become the semiconductor industry's leading provider of comprehensive Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data.

Our goal is to help customers achieve their individual sustainability goals and effectively reduce their carbon footprint across their entire supply chain.

A product carbon footprint is a metric that quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions associated with individual products, allowing comparison of the climate impacts of different products.

The specific data Infineon provides for individual products is essential for customers seeking greater transparency about their carbon footprint.

Furthermore, this data is expected to support informed decision-making, increasing the potential for further emissions reductions across the value chain.

Because there are no established industry standards, Infineon has developed a robust methodology for measuring the carbon footprint of its products by integrating customer requirements and best practices.

Includes carbon emissions from raw materials and supplies, our own manufacturing processes, manufacturing partners, capital goods, and transportation for delivery to customers.

Product carbon footprint is expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kg CO2e).

Infineon's products are making a significant contribution to the global energy transition and a carbon-neutral society.

Infineon products are used in solar and wind power plants, electric vehicles, and in numerous applications, including AI data centers, to improve energy efficiency.

Infineon's semiconductor chips reduce carbon emissions by 34 times the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emitted during their production over their lifetime.

Breaking down the carbon footprint down to the product level is an important milestone in Infineon's sustainability journey.

Infineon has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 for direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2), and last year announced that it would set a science-based target that would also include supply chain emissions (Scope 3).
