Team Players: A New Industry Leadership Council Seeks Sustainability Solutions
July 31, 2023 | Kelly Scanlon, IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The work on sustainability in electronics at IPC continues and a new leadership council is one result of those efforts.
In March 2023, IPC convened a Sustainability for Electronics Leadership Council to offer peer review and direction to IPC. The council is a response to the industry’s requests for more attention on environmental, social, and corporate sustainability in IPC’s industry standards, education, and advocacy.
The council includes industry leaders in sustainability, bringing together more than 160 years of professional experience in sustainability for electronics. It is a rich and credible resource to propose global industry efforts, led by IPC, to assist in moving sustainable electronics design, development, and production forward to build electronics better.
The companies that comprise the Leadership Council represent multiple supply chain segments and geographic regions. Members of the council are senior leaders in their companies who head technology programs for sustainable solutions, environment/social/governance (ESG) programs and foundations, and environmental health and safety programs.
