As the imperative to achieve net-zero emissions grows, semiconductor companies are increasingly focused on Scope 3 upstream emissions, which account for about 35% of the GHG of a typical Fab. Many semiconductor companies have hesitated to address Scope 3 upstream emissions because of the challenges encountered to date when attempting to create transparency about emissions and drive decarbonization initiatives. In the latest #McKinsey article, my collegues discuss the granular emissions baseline of a typical semiconductor Fab, and explore how semiconductor players can decarbonize their Scope 3 upstream emissions by facilitating cooperative efforts with suppliers, improving waste management, redesigning or enhancing product specifications, and optimizing use of materials. #Semiconductor #Decarbonization #Emissions

Today's SEMI Europe conference featured an insightful panel discussion on "Collaborative Strategies and Practical Solutions Towards a Sustainable Semiconductor Future." My takeaways from the session: - Ecosystem Collaboration: A strong emphasis on the need for a holistic ecosystem approach, integrating both downstream OEMs and upstream material makers, to weave sustainability into the semiconductor industry's framework. - Innovation Beyond Incremental: There‘s a critical need for disruptive, foundational innovations in sustainability, moving beyond incremental changes and advocating for an open ecosystem mindset. - Addressing Scope 3 Emissions: Tackling Scope 3 emissions was recognized as the most crucial challenge.
