Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Participating in industrial and trade associations
We are members of numerous trade associations, working alongside other semiconductor businesses to define the future and consider the environmental impact of the electronics industry. In 2021, we continued our collaboration with the European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA), the European arm of the World Semiconductor Council, which was presided by Jean-Marc Chery, President and CEO of ST until the end of 2021. Our Corporate Environment Director, leads the ESIA EHS committee to align with our peers on a leading and proactive approach to EHS responsibilities. Throughout the year, our experts actively participated in working groups on resource conservation, air emissions and chemicals, as well as health and ergonomics;
Public commitment to conduct activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement
As part of our ambitious program to become carbon neutral by 2027, ST has joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which provides a clearly defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Targets are considered 'science-based' if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
