Infineon, Amkor team on supply chain sustainability
Cette publication existe aussi en Français
Infineon Technologies and Amkor have signed a deal to actively engage with common suppliers on sustainability.
The aim of the deal is for Infineon and Amkor to identify areas for improvement and support suppliers in setting their own science-based emissions reduction targets.
The two companies intend to use their Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) business relationship to tackle emissions along the supply chain. In April, both companies announced to operate a dedicated packaging and test centre at Amkor’s manufacturing site in Porto, Portugal.
Infineon introduced a supplier engagement program in 2023 and has been working with more than a hundred suppliers to set and implement science-based targets. It recently detailed the carbon footprint of a range of power and automotive devices across the supply chain.
Infineon commits to science based targets for sustainable manufacturing
Working with suppliers will involve workshops, meetings, and the sharing of best practices and learnings related to decarbonization. The aim is to identify areas for improvement and support suppliers in setting science-based emissions reduction targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative.
“Infineon has made excellent progress towards its aim to become CO 2-neutral for scope 1 and 2 by 2030, as the company more than halved its emissions while doubling the revenue since 2019. Supply-chain-related Scope-3-emissions represent the highest share of total emissions at Infineon and are the hardest ones to minimize,” said Angelique van der Burg, Chief Procurement Officer at Infineon. “That makes it even more important to include them in our efforts. But no one can do it alone. We need to actively collaborate and drive innovation with our suppliers if we want to effectively reduce CO 2 emissions. This is of ample importance not only for Infineon and Amkor, but also for society at large. Therefore, we are happy to join forces with Amkor on this.”
“Amkor is excited to deepen its partnership with Infineon through this strategic collaboration. Addressing Scope 3 is the most challenging part of the decarbonization journey, and we anticipate mutual benefits from this collective work in undertaking the challenge,” said Giel Rutten, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amkor. “This initiative is pivotal in achieving Amkor’s goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 by strengthening supply chain engagement through joint efforts. We look forward to collaborating with suppliers and invite them to join our endeavour to set ambitious science-based targets. Together, we are committed to driving positive environmental impact across our value chain.”
