ASM JOINS SEMICONDUCTOR CLIMATE CONSORTIUM AS FOUNDING MEMBER
Almere, The NetherlandsNovember 03, 2022
ASM International (Euronext Amsterdam: ASM)
today announced it has joined as a founding member of the
Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC), the first global
collaborative of semiconductor companies focused on reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
The SCC is formed with other companies across
the semiconductor value chain and SEMI, the global industry
association representing the electronics, manufacturing, and design
supply chain. The SCC is established with the goal to build a
lasting framework that connects stakeholders to leverage member
knowledge and improve the speed and scale by which the industry can
respond to climate change.
“Focus on sustainability is one of the pillars
in our strategy. We are excited to be a founding member of the SCC,
which we see as a fundamentally innovative solution to this
significant industry challenge.” said Benjamin Loh, CEO of ASM.
As ASM works toward its target of Net Zero
emissions by 2035, a key benefit of the SCC will be in methods and
standards for addressing Scope 3 collaboratively across the
semiconductor industry value chain.
ASM played a key role in the creation of the
SCC, represented by John Golightly, ASM Senior Director of
Environmental Health and Safety & Sustainability, who led the
formation of, and chaired the SEMI working group that developed the
scope and framework of the SCC. “Past methods of engaging our value
chain are insufficient given the needed scale and limited time
available. Together through the SCC we strive to achieve impact and
scale well beyond our individual efforts in response to the climate
change.” said John Golightly.
“I applaud ASM for its commitment to become a
founding member of the Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) and
for its continued support of global sustainability efforts,” said
Ajit Manocha, SEMI President and CEO. “Individually, SEMI member
companies have made tremendous strides on sustainability, but we
need to pool industry resources to solve the difficult
decarbonization challenges and to meet tracking and reporting
requirements across the value chain. The SCC members look forward
to defining and prioritizing sustainability goals and to harness
the collective energy of the global semiconductor supply chain to
create solutions.”
The SCC and SEMI will hold launch ceremonies and
discussion panels at COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
