Prologue by Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart

  
With more than 42,000 employees worldwide (including approximately 12,000 Qimonda employees), Infineon Technologies has responsibility towards the communities the company is engaged in.
As an international company and a member of the Global Compact Initiative of the United Nations, we take our role in the multinational community seriously. Corporate Social Responsibility is thus a real strategic consideration in our business and societal activities.

We have introduced efficient tools to raise general awareness of this issue and to ensure a comprehensive implementation of social, safety, and environmental processes within our company involving our employees, our associates, supply chain partners as well as individual societies and cultures around the globe.

Manifold needs of our multinational environment have been consolidated in a balanced manner that is grounded in the values we represent – tolerance, openness, reliability and cooperativeness. We view the economy, environmental protection, safety, and social responsibility as key factors in a liberal world market.

Ideas are worthless if they are not actually put into practice. Consequently, every employee in our company, in all fields and on all levels is involved within our Corporate Social Responsibility framework.

Corporate Social Responsibility is much more than a theory at Infineon Technologies. Please see for yourself on our Corporate Social Responsibility Internet pages.
