SEMI California

found that the semiconductor value chain is a significant consumer of energy in almost all key Asian markets. Additionally, a recent analysis by McKinsey & Company1 shows that even with major semiconductor companies' latest commitments, which are more stringent than past measures, the industry is not on track to limit emissions to the extent required under the 2015 Paris Agreement. The analysis finds that both individual and collective actions by semiconductor players can help the entire industry increase its sustainability effort and meet the 1.5°C challenge.

SEMI representatives will host a special session on December 2 in the Green Zone at COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For more information, contact Heidi Hoffman of SEMI at hhoffman@semi.org.

SEMI welcomes additional sponsors and partners of the Energy Collaborative. To join the collaborative or learn more, contact scc@semi.org.

About the Semiconductor Climate Consortium

Focused on overcoming emissions challenges facing the semiconductor value chain, the Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) was formed based on the principles of collaboration, ambition and transparency. SCC working groups are working to establish more accurate emissions reporting, measure the value chain's progress and accelerate the development of sustainability solutions. An outgrowth of the SEMI Sustainability Initiative, the SCC has more than 90 members.
