Nvidia Faces Environmental Criticism Following Jensen Huang's Resignation
Following the sudden resignation of CEO Jensen Huang amid a separate scandal, Nvidia is facing intense scrutiny regarding its environmental impact. Critics and environmental organizations, including Greenpeace, argue that under Huang's leadership, the company prioritized rapid AI expansion over climate responsibility, leading to massive increases in supply-chain emissions. Reports indicate that Nvidia's supply-chain emissions have surged by 725% since 2020, reaching approximately 10.7 million metric tons of CO2 in fiscal year 2026. Environmental advocates are now pressuring interim CEO Colette Kress to implement decarbonization strategies and ensure the company's technology is used ethically as it navigates this leadership transition.
