targets by 2035
Almere, The NetherlandsMarch 28, 2024
ASM International N.V. (Euronext
Amsterdam: ASM) announces today the launch of its Climate
Transition Plan aimed at detailing its sustainability efforts with
a path to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2035.
ASM’s plan outlines a strategic pathway to
decarbonize its operations, products, and supply chain, playing a
leading role in transitioning the semiconductor industry towards an
environmentally sustainable future.
“Our Climate Transition Plan is not just a
statement of intent; it is our blueprint for action. ASM is proud
to be the first semiconductor company to receive a Science Based
Targets initiative (SBTi) Net Zero target verification in 2023,
underscoring our commitment. With our plan aligned with this
scientific standard, ASM is at the forefront of the industry’s move
towards a sustainable future” remarked Benjamin Loh, President and
CEO of ASM.
The plan also highlights ASM’s achievements to
date, including achieving 88% renewable electricity in 2023 aligned
with our sourcing 100% renewable energy by 2024 target; Achieving
BCA Green Mark Gold+ green building certification in
Singapore; pursuing LEED Gold minimum rating for the new
state-of-the-art sustainable facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona and
in Dongtan, South Korea; deepened supplier engagement through the
CDP Supply Chain Program; increased impact via ASM’s partnership
with major semiconductor companies via Catalyze program amplifying
industry-wide efforts. Notably, ASM’s leadership was recognized
with a prestigious A- score for each of our most recent CDP Climate
Change and Water Security submittals.
ASM plans to build on these successes by
focusing on renewable energy for our own operations and value chain
energy needs. Innovation in product energy efficiency will
additionally reduce our own and downstream operational footprint.
Moving towards low-carbon procurement will reduce the impact our
purchased goods.
John Golightly, VP Global Head Sustainability
added, “Our Climate Transition Plan is a living document that will
evolve as we make progress toward reaching our net-zero target, it
reflects our dedication to transparency, accountability and
continuous improvement”.
