One of Microchip’s Guiding Values is “Professional Ethics and
Social Responsibility Are Practiced,” which means that the company
manages its business and treats its customers, employees,
shareholders, investors, suppliers, channel partners, community and
government in a manner that exemplifies honesty, ethics and
integrity. To demonstrate its commitment to this value and to
provide transparency to its employees, customers and all other
stakeholders, Microchip Technology
(Nasdaq: MCHP)
has released its
2023 Sustainability Report which
details its environmental and social impact programs.
Microchip’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) projects
are aligned with its business objectives and are implemented to
catalyze positive change throughout its value chain via strategic
initiatives, strong collaboration with partners and ambitious
goals. The company consistently invests in its global workforce and
endeavors to drive economic growth, while preserving natural
resources and paving the way for a sustainable tomorrow for future
generations.
“Our vision to be the leading supplier of smart, connected and
secure embedded control and processing solutions includes a
corporate commitment to acting in an ethical and responsible way.
This permeates what we do, from day-to-day operations to ethical
global supply chains to investing and developing new technologies
and products to ensure a more sustainable world,” said Ganesh
Moorthy, president and CEO of Microchip. “We have a dedicated
Sustainability Megatrend team that is focused on empowering
innovation for our customers through a wide range of products and
solutions that help reduce power consumption, increase efficiency
and reduce waste.”
The company’s 2023 Sustainability Report outlines its ESG
efforts and progress across five tenets, referred to as Microchip’s
360° Sustainability Approach. The five tenets include: Our Company,
Our Planet, Our Supply Chain, Our Products and Our People.
“To protect our planet, we seek innovative and meaningful ways
to improve our environmental impact in four essential areas:
greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, water management and
waste diversion,” said Ewa Rickey, associate director of
Microchip’s ESG program. “Our 2023 Sustainability Report
demonstrates our dedication to being a good corporate citizen, not
only in the communities where we operate but around the world.”
