ADI Plans Climate Strategy for Carbon Neutrality
Analog Devices (ADI) has planned for new commitments that will advance the Company’s climate strategy, including pledging to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050.
As part of the Company’s roadmap towards net zero, ADI signed the United Nations’ Business Ambition for 1.5°C pledge and has committed to setting targets to be verified by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
“Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to our society, and this decade will be pivotal in determining our collective success in turning the tide. Limiting global warming to 1.5°C will require a collective global effort – and the time for action is now,” said Vincent Roche, President and CEO of Analog Devices. “At ADI, we are dedicated to putting our great engineering minds and resources behind this challenge and accelerating our sustainability ambitions with even greater urgency. The commitments we are making today represent bold steps forward in our climate strategy and we will continue to identify new and innovative ways to make meaningful progress against our goals.”
Key elements of the company’s climate strategy include:
Carbon Neutral by 2030 and Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050
ADI is continuing to focus on reducing its impact on the environment and has set goals to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. ADI will release a roadmap that outlines the strategies and actions to achieve these goals later in the year. Among these actions, the Company will transition to one hundred percent renewable energy across the Company’s operations by 2025 and addressing emissions across the full value chain, including Scope 3, by 2030.
