Below expectationsPending Review

AMD has cut operational emissions 28% since 2020 and sourced 50% renewable electricity by 2024, but these gains mask a deeper problem: 98% of its total footprint sits in the supply chain, almost entirely unaddressed. No Scope 3 reduction targets exist. Nature impacts go unmapped. The company reports well on what it controls; it ignores what it outsources.
