Infineon’s climate strategy is founded on two pillars: continuous reduction of its own emissions and the active contribution Infineon and its innovative products and solutions make to climate protection thanks to better resource management. 

Energy efficiency, intelligent PFC abatement concepts and hence reducing CO₂ emissions have long been core elements of Infineon’s business model. Through the use of its products and solutions by the customers of Infineon, 34 times more CO₂ can currently be avoided than is generated during production. All in all, products and solutions from Infineon helped reduce emissions by a net total of 113 million tons of CO₂ equivalent last fiscal year – after deducting its own footprint.

Infineon is already one of the most sustainable semiconductor producers. CO₂ avoidance and resource efficiency in production have been a priority for us for years, as in the setting up of our 300-millimeter thin wafer technology. With our goal of becoming carbon-neutral we are strengthening our efforts through electricity from renewable sources and investments in exhaust air treatment that far exceeds the industry standard.

 

Infineon has set itself the goal of becoming carbon-neutral by the end of the 2030 fiscal year in terms of scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. We want to make an active contribution to global CO2 reduction and to the implementation of the targets set out in the Paris Climate Agreement.

Emissions are to be cut by 70 percent over the 2019 levels by 2025.
