Dependant transition pathways

Semiconductor manufacturing

Scope 3 · cat 1
Reference pathway

Networking ASICs, optics, photonics. Fab decarbonisation pace caps supply-chain Scope 3 reductions.

Mining & critical minerals

Scope 3 · cat 1
Reference pathway

Routers, switches and optics depend on copper, gold, palladium, rare earths and tantalum. Mining-sector decarbonisation pace and responsible-sourcing pressure cap upstream Scope 3.

Aviation

Scope 3 · cat 6
Reference pathway

Global service & support engineers, large enterprise sales teams, partner-conference circuit. Use-phase product support travel sits behind a sticky long-haul footprint.

E-waste & circular economy

Scope 3 · cat 12
Reference pathway

5–10 year deployed lifetime → continuous decommissioning. Take-back, refurbish and component-recovery rates determine whether the next product cycle reuses materials or mines them again.
