Amphenol Corporation released its 2020 Sustainability Report.
“Our sustainable business practices are at the forefront of everything we do and could not have been accomplished without the continued hard work and dedication of our employees around the world,” said Amphenol President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Adam Norwitt.
“Despite the many challenges our employees, our company and our world faced in 2020, Amphenolians rose to the challenge and delivered on our sustainability commitments. Of the eight short-term goals we set in 2019, we have achieved the two goals with a target of 2021 and we are on the path to achieving the remaining six goals with a target of 2022. We also began evaluating our decarbonization strategy and took steps to increase the percentage of our electricity sourced from renewables while simultaneously shifting more of our non-renewable fuel consumption toward cleaner sources.”
“I am genuinely proud of the work we did in 2020 to grow our business, support our customers, protect our employees and their families, help our communities, reduce our environmental footprint and deliver continued value to our shareholders and other stakeholders around the world.”

We have a milestone anniversary to celebrate as well, with Dan Beaulieu about to publish his 1,000th column. When does Dan even sleep? Here’s to hoping that we have 1,000 more weeks of "It’s Only Common Sense."
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
Direct Metallization: A Sustainable Shift in PCB Fabrication
07/31/2025 | Jim Watkowski, Harry Yang, and Mark Edwards, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsThe global electronics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need for more resilient supply chains and environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices. Printed circuit boards (PCBs), the backbone of interconnection for electronic devices, are at the center of this shift. Traditionally, PCB fabrication has relied heavily on electroless copper, a process that, while effective, is resource-intensive and environmentally hazardous. In response, many manufacturers are turning to direct metallization technologies as a cleaner, more efficient alternative.
