ASM has cut its own emissions 44% since 2021, but its total footprint rose 5% in 2025 to 1.7 MtCO2e and is above its base year, mainly from customers using its tools. Its claim of 100% renewable electricity rests almost entirely on unbundled certificates. It has SBTi-validated targets for net zero by 2035, with its value-chain target set per euro of value added.
