Overall Net-Zero Target
First Solar Inc commits to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050.
Near-Term Targets
First Solar commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 34% by 2028 from a 2020 base year. First Solar also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services 45% per MW produced within the same timeframe.
Long-Term Targets
First Solar Inc commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2020 base year. First Solar Inc commits to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and fuel- and energy-related activities 97% per MW produced within the same timeframe.
