Infineon Named One of the Most Sustainable Companies Globally
December 14, 2023 | InfineonEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Infineon Technologies AG has once again been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, as announced by S&P Global last Friday in New York, USA.
“We are proud that Infineon has been chosen as one of the world’s most sustainable companies for the 14 th consecutive year“, said Elke Reichart, Member of the Board and Chief Digital Transformation Officer, responsible for Sustainability at Infineon. “Moreover, we feel strongly encouraged to keep up our efforts at making further progress towards our ambitious sustainability goals. Therefore, we are continuously developing our processes and drive innovation within the company and beyond. The green and the digital transformation go hand in hand.”
Infineon is well on track with the implementation of its CO 2-neutrality goal by 2030 (Scope 1 and 2). To date emissions have been reduced by 56.8 percent compared with the base year of 2019 while approximately doubling the business at the same time.
As a leading manufacturer of semiconductors for power electronic systems and the IoT, Infineon makes a significant contribution to decarbonization on the way to a net-zero society. Infineon’s products and solutions help to save 34 times more CO 2 emissions over the course of their usage than were created during their production.
This year, Infineon scored especially well in Privacy Protection and Innovation Management that includes aspects like Research & Development, Product Innovation and also Process Innovation, for instance through digitalization and the application of Industry 4.0 principles.
The Dow Jones Sustainability Index is regarded as one of the most important benchmarks for sustainability and lists the world’s leading companies from 61 industries. The assessment is based on the companies’ economic, environmental and social performance. Its objective is to help investors make informed decisions on how to align their portfolios more clearly with sustainability aspects, and to encourage companies to actively continue their efforts in this regard.

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.
