Power-efficient products – Products which are state-of-the-art in reducing electricity consumption or power losses, reducing the footprint of the end-devices they are embedded in.
Planet-friendly applications - Products that are key contributors to green applications, such as automotive powertrain electrification, solar panels and LED lighting.
Human-welfare applications - Products that are powerful enablers for medical, health, safety, and security applications.
products and technologies, benefiting the company, its customers, and society at large. STMicroelectronics has set bold targets, including achieving carbon neutrality on scope 1 & 2 and partially on scope 3 by 2027, and is committed to minimizing its environmental footprint through energy-efficient manufacturing processes and the increased use of renewable energy.
Lifecycle approach
STMicroelectronics’ Sustainable Technology program employs a comprehensive lifecycle approach that ensures sustainability is considered at every stage of a product’s development and use. This strategy addresses social and environmental impacts from initial design and material sourcing to manufacturing, distribution, usage, and end-of-life management. By focusing on each phase, STMicroelectronics aims to minimize its environmental footprint while maximizing social benefits. This includes selecting eco-friendly materials, optimizing energy efficiency in production, and designing products that consume less power during use. The company also promotes recycling and responsible disposal practices at a product’s end of life. This cradle-to-grave approach makes sustainability an integral part of STMicroelectronics’ operations, enabling positive change throughout the value chain and supporting their customers in achieving sustainable outcomes. Raw materials - Responsibility begins with the raw materials used, which are all sourced in compliance with the latest environmental and social guidelines, such as responsible mineral sourcing.
Product development - By adopting an eco-design approach, STMicroelectronics carefully consider the impact of their future technologies and products on the planet’s resources.
Manufacturing - They are reducing the impact of manufacturing activities on resources and local communities, while building a resilient supply chain and addressing ongoing operations’ footprint.
Usage – STMicroelectronics create innovative devices that have a positive impact on our planet, our business and people’s lives. The benefits STMicroelectronics products deliver during use (also referred to as the ‘handprint’ of their products) don’t just come from improved power-efficiency, but also from a focus on specific market segments that are helping to solve environmental and social challenges.
End of life - STMicroelectronics strive to minimize the waste produced when disposing of their devices and facilitate recycling for customers and end users through their EcoPack program and Hazardous Substances Process Management (HSPM).
In addition to help users, STMicroelectronics classify their products into four categories of responsible products:
Low-carbon products - Thanks to optimized conception, these products reduce the footprint of production equipment, utilities, and supply chain.
