Overview

Infineon Technologies AG is a world leader in semiconductor solutions that make life easier, safer and greener. Microelectronics from Infineon are the key to a better future. With around 50,280 employees worldwide, Infineon generated revenue of about €11.1 billion in the 2021 fiscal year (ending 30 September). Segment Result came in at €2.072 billion, corresponding to a margin of 18.7 percent.

The world’s swelling population, more and more megacities and the rising demand for energy is prompting us to rethink many aspects of our modern lifestyle.

Semiconductor and system solutions from Infineon contribute to a better future – making our world easier, safer and greener. These tiny, barely visible electronic components have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. They help to feed regenerative energy into power grids with almost zero losses, tame power-hungry computers, safeguard the data flying through cyberspace and make our cars more energy-efficient.

At Infineon, success is not only defined by the targets that we achieve but also by the way that brought us there: Sustainability is at the core of our thinking. Our listings in sustainability indices, including the Dow Jones Sustainability™ World Index are both our reward and motivation.

Semiconductors – building blocks of a modern society and how they are made

Our Business Focus and Strategy

We want to continue to develop, grow and create value for our customers and our shareholders as well as for our employees and society. The coronavirus pandemic has put the brakes on for the moment but cannot stop us. On the contrary, the coronavirus pandemic has worked in some ways as a catalyst and accelerator of innovation. Many of the developments would have happened anyway, but the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in change being instigated much more rapidly or implemented more swiftly, especially with regard to the digitalization of society and the economy.

In the past few years, our strategy has been consistently guided by global megatrends that will continue to shape the world in the future: demographic and social change, climate change and scarce resources, urbanization, and digital transformation. From these megatrends, we derive our focus on the following growth areas: energy efficiency, mobility, security, and IoT and big data. In these markets, we address structural drivers: i.e., areas which are expected to see disproportionate growth in the long term as a result of these trends or which have major innovation potential. The coronavirus pandemic has not altered these underlying assumptions.

Our Segments

Infineon is divided into four segments whose strategic deployment is derived from the Group Strategy. Here the segments are responsible for particular areas that reflect their respective core competencies. The Automotive segment is responsible for business with semiconductors for automotive electronics. The Industrial Power Control segment concentrates on power semiconductors primarily used in industrial applications, while the Power & Sensor Systems segment addresses consumer-oriented applications and power supplies in general. Activities relating to classic and new security applications are consolidated in the Connected Secure Systems segment.

Sustainability at Infineon

In addition to gaining a deeper understanding of our customers’ systems, optimizing our products and solutions, and achieving adequate profitability in line with our targets, it is also imperative that we run our business on a sustainable basis, responsibly committed towards society.

We understand sustainability as the symbiosis between economy, ecology and social engagement, continuously respecting and recognizing the importance of cultural diversity. This is reflected in our CSR Policy that sets guidelines for responsible and sustainable business operation, based on the fulfilment of the legal requirements where we operate and the commitment to follow the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact, which we signed up for in 2004. Furthermore, internal rules and requirements, voluntary self-commitments, as well as our customers' requirements, form an additional framework for our approach.
