Our Carbon Commitment

Our Net Zero Carbon Commitment

In September 2020, Arm commited to achieving net zero carbon by 2030 – 20 years ahead of the 2050 target outlined in the United Nations' Paris Climate Agreement¹. To achieve this, we committed to taking a science-based approach to cut absolute emissions from our business operations by at least 42%. For unabated emissions, we will invest in accredited carbon sequestration projects while exploring ways to further reduce our emissions, even as we grow.

Net Zero Carbon: Year One Progress Overview

Our approach encompasses:

taking a science-based approach to cut absolute emissions by at least 42%

empowering our employees and supply chain to make low-carbon, sustainable choices

only using carbon sequestration offsets to balance any residual emissions

promoting innovation in tech-based carbon sequestration solutions

At the end of year one, we have achieved an 11% reduction against our 42% ten-year target. This was three times the expected progress.While COVID-19 clearly had a significant impact on our data, this extraordinary year also allowed us to accelerate new policies and processes that will continue to reduce our emissions in a post-COVID world.

1 The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to <1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
