European lead for Semiconductor Sustainability Consortium
Industry group Semi has elected the leadership for its Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) Governing Council and its Chair and Vice-Chair with key roles from companies in Europe.
Beginning their terms immediately, Council members will guide the SCC in its mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the global semiconductor value chain, including setting priorities based on a member survey and forming working groups and their objectives. The Council will convene at least monthly to ensure the SCC is on track to fulfill its vision.
The chair is John Golightly, Sr. Director Sustainability, Climate, Global EH&S at ASM and includes French power and IoT giant Schneider Electric.
James Larsen, Supply Chain Responsibility Environmental Program Manager at Intel is the vice chair, and other members come from Applied Materials, DuPont, Google and Samsung Electronics.
Last week Samsung established a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on the product carbon footprint of its semiconductor business verified by DNV in Norway.

“The Semiconductor Climate Consortium Governing Council brings together sustainability leaders from across the global supply chain and their election marks another key milestone on the industry’s path to net zero,” said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of Semi. “I commend the Council members for their commitment to this crucial effort to forge shared solutions on the most challenging climate issues.”
SCC members are working together on common approaches, technology innovations and communications channels to continuously reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will publicly report progress and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions annually.

SCC members span the full semiconductor value chain. Since the announcement of the consortium in November, eight other companies have joined to bring total membership to 73. New members from Europe include CEA-Leti, Merck, Besi Switzerland and Sony Semiconductor (Altair) as well as Toshiba and tester equipment maker Teradyne.
