Todd Brady, Intel's Sutainability Chief
Key chip makers must be all if the global semiconductor industry is to achieve its ambitious sustainable manufacturing goals.
Intel Corp. asserts that sustainable manufacturing is being implemented across its global operations, including new fabs under construction in Ohio and ramping up in Germany. The chip maker’s net-zero goals include greenhouse gas emissions reductions by 2040, zero landfill wastes by 2030 and “net positive” water usage by 2030.
“Sustainability is integrated into everything that we’re doing at Intel,” says Todd Brady, Intel’s sustainability chief. That includes tying bonuses to meeting sustainability goals, Brady adds.
