Forward-thinking semiconductor organizations are implementing practices to reduce the environmental impact of their businesses and manufacturing operations to ensure their resiliency when disruptive events such as geopolitical conflicts, climate-related disasters, and public health crises strike. Initiatives focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water use, deploying renewable energy systems, and improving the energy efficiency of chipmaking equipment are growing in importance.

To thrive in the coming decade and beyond, companies must look beyond short-term performance and focus on building resilience to better withstand unpredictable disruptions to their businesses, the semiconductor industry and global economies.
