For Infineon Austria, sustainability means keeping a balance between intelligent management and a conscious approach to people and the environment.

We act out of conviction and are continuously committed: Since 1997, Infineon Austria has voluntarily committed itself to the EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme) of the European Union and is committed to the international environmental management standard ISO 14001. With the global Infineon management system IMPRES (Infineon Integrated Management Program for Environment, Energy, Safety and Health), we have processes and standards in the company that is continuously optimized. You can find out more about IMPRES and ISO certification within the Group here.

All guiding principles, data and measures of Infineon Austria can be found in the current Environmental Statement 2024.

Sustainability as a guiding principle

Sustainability is part of our mission since years. We have been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index since 2010 and have been one of the most sustainable companies in the world for 13 years in a row. With all the measures and activities, we want to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Learn more about the Infineon Group Sustainability Strategy.

Environmental Statement

Digital & Sustainability

We strive to contribute to climate protection through our products, processes, and responsible behavior. Infineon Austria's energy-saving chips reduce the CO₂ footprint in applications and enhance energy efficiency by minimizing energy losses along the entire energy generation chain. At the same time, we leverage innovative approaches such as "Industry 4.0" and "Industry 5.0" to make our own processes more efficient and resource-friendly.

Sustainability at the Villach Site – An Overview:

100% Renewable Energy: Our electricity is sourced entirely from renewable energy with certified proof of origin.
Waste Heat Recycling: Intelligent reuse of production waste heat to provide heating for the site.
Continuous Energy Efficiency Measures since 2009: Digital networking of facilities, optimized processes, smart sensors, and energy-saving LED lighting improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and optimize the use of resources.
Sustainable Mobility: The "Green Way" program offers electric vehicles, EV charging stations, and promotes eco-friendly alternatives such as free public transport for employees ("Jobticket").

Working together for more nature conservation

In collaboration with regional partners, such as ARGE Naturschutz, Infineon Austria is committed to voluntary reforestation projects. Since 2022, more than 6,200 site-specific trees and shrubs have been planted across 5.9 hectares in the Villach region – including 16 tree species such as pedunculate oak, sycamore maple, and fir. This diversity strengthens ecological stability, supports climate adaptation, and creates habitats for numerous animal and insect species.

Additionally, flowering shrubs, biotopes, nesting sites for birds and bats, as well as deadwood and stone piles, provide food, shelter, and protection. Former spruce monocultures are gradually being transformed into climate-resilient mixed forests.

Our employees also volunteer in planting activities, monitoring small animal tunnels, or maintaining nature trails. In doing so, we not only promote regional biodiversity but also make an active contribution to climate protection and sustainable habitats.

Environmental Statement

CO2 neutrality by 2030

The goal applies to the Scope 1 and 2 emissions of the entire Infineon Group and is to be achieved by

avoiding direct greenhouse gas emissions,
reducing energy consumption, and
using green electricity with guarantee of origin (already implemented at Villach site),

and offset by as small a remaining amount as possible through certificates.

Infineon is making good progress: Since 2019, the Group has already more than halved its emissions while doubling its revenue.

Digitalization and sustainability

Since 2009, the Villach site has been implementing energy efficiency measures, some of which include the use of digitalization and artificial intelligence. This is transforming production into an intelligent, learning factory where design, manufacturing, and supply are increasingly networked. Buildings and infrastructure systems are continuously being equipped with intelligent sensors, controllers and smart meters. Energy-saving lighting systems, photovoltaics and intelligent heat recovery all contribute systematically to our environmental management. All energy, environmental and climate protection measures are verified by external auditors.

Promoting talents

With initiatives such as “Girls’ Day”, the “Smart Learning Classes” at schools and the “Women in Data Science Conference”, Infineon motivates young people to take an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and has reached around 100,000 children, teenagers and students across Austria since 2014. Together with ORF, Infineon presents the “Women’s Award for Digitalization and Innovation” to honor outstanding female talents.

Infineon Education Fund

The Infineon Education Fund, which is operated in cooperation with Caritas and received €105,000 in funding from Infineon in 2024 alone, was established at the beginning of 2020. Learning Cafés provide free learning support to disadvantaged children and young people. They are supervised by volunteer study guides. Infineon employees also volunteer here. In Villach and Spittal/Drau, as well as in Graz and Mürzzuschlag, 120 children and young people between the ages of 6 and 16 are supported in their education. They receive tutoring and study materials. The success is not only tangible, but also measurable: 99 percent of all Learning Café students successfully completed the last school year.

It’s all about people!

“Driving decarbonization and digitalization. Together.” – Infineon’s vision makes it clear that we are working together to shape the green, digital future. To this end, Infineon offers its employees an open, social corporate culture in which they can contribute their potential and work responsibly.

Combining career and family ‒ International Daycare Center (IDC):

Infineon cooperates with Sonnenstrahl GmbH to offer approximately 300 daycare places for children aged one to six years at three locations in Villach. The special thing about them: few closed days, flexible and long opening hours, bilingualism and a focus on science experiments.
International School Carinthia (ISC): Currently, 390 children from more than 40 nations attend the English-language all-day school.

Environmental Statement
