DuPont Joins Semiconductor Climate Consortium as a Founding Member

DuPont announced it has joined the Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) as a Founding Member. The SCC is an outgrowth of the SEMI Sustainability Initiative, and is the first global, ecosystem-wide effort to advance the semiconductor industry's response to the challenge of climate change. The SCC includes member companies from across the semiconductor value chain. Its vision is to accelerate progressive climate action - including support of the Paris Agreement and related accords - with the goal of limiting global warming potential to 1.5°C. Founded on the pillars of collaboration, transparency and ambition, the Consortium will collaborate on tools to assist in reporting and evaluating greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and advocate for innovative ideas for the use of microelectronics to address climate change, including awareness of opportunities and best-known methods. "As a global leader in semiconductor fabrication and packaging materials, DuPont is proud to be a Founding Member of the Semiconductor Climate Consortium, a historic industry initiative that can accelerate momentum for positive climate action," said Jon Kemp, President, DuPont Electronics & Industrial, and member of SEMI's international board of directors. "Innovation and collaboration have always been hallmarks of the semiconductor ecosystem, and these same principles will be applied to achieve critical cl...
