Limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is key to preventing and reversing climate change, and we’re working towards a 50% reduction by 2025 compared to 2015 levels.
CONTINUING TO REDUCE OUR EMISSIONS
In 2020, ADI’s emissions decreased by 36% versus our baseline year of 2015. We continue to work toward our goal of reaching net zero emissions. Notable progress reaching our goal includes converting 3 of ADI’s manufacturing sites to be powered by renewable energy.
CO2 + CO2e- Emissions decreased by 36% from 2015
SOURCES AND ASSOCIATIONS
SCOPE 1: Stationary combustion and process emissions: Perflourocarbons (PFCs), SF6, NF3 (from water fabrication processes) | SCOPE 2: Purchased electricity | SCOPE 3: Business travel
Since 2013, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions and our Scope 3 emissions from business travel have been verified by a third party. We also report our emissions to the CDP, formerly Carbon Disclosure Project.
Emissions are measured and estimated using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and GWP from the IPCC Fifth Assessment report. Emission factors used from US-EPA Climate Leadership Emissions Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories and market-based factors where available; otherwise, location-based emission factors were used.
ENVIRONMENTAL SPOTLIGHT
A GREENER WAY TO WORK
In 2020, ADI’s corporate headquarters in Wilmington, Massachusetts installed a 1.4 MW solar panel array. The solar panels are located on top of a newly constructed headquarters building and parking garage. The panels on the parking garage are “carport-style”, meaning they act as a roof to protect vehicles from the snow in the winter and the hot sun in the summer. These panels on average can supply up to 10% of the site’s non-manufacturing electricity demand.
