Environmental Sustainability
At Infineon Technologies, we firmly believe that we deliver positive value to Environmental Sustainability.
We complement our endeavors in the economic, environmental and social spheres by making a concerted effort to expand our portfolio of energy-saving solutions and to reduce emissions and minimize consumption of ever-scarcer natural resources in the production of our semiconductors.
Our holistic approach includes industrial environmental protection, the safe transportation of dangerous goods, chemical safety (safety in handling of hazardous materials), management for emergency preparedness and response, as well as product-related environmental issues.
Due to the growing demand for power electronics and the corresponding impact on the environment, as well as the increasing cost of energy, product energy efficiency has become more and more important for us. We are focused on reducing the environmental impact of our products, including efforts to drive new levels of energy-efficient performance. Although our components generally make up only a small portion of an electronic device they play a significant role in helping to minimize the environmental impact of the end products and applications. We partly achieve this by removing environmentally sensitive materials, and collaborating on industry initiatives.
