Sustainability In Semiconductor Industry

Enabling sustainable technology from the core

The semiconductor world is facing a double-edged dilemma: an increased demand for chip production on one side and, on the other, a need to lower emissions and meet sustainability goals.

The industry is rapidly expanding, with some revenue projections surpassing $1 trillion worldwide by 2030. It is driven by the explosive growth of generative AI and more sophisticated technologies across all industries, including automotive, life sciences, and consumer products. This growth is increasing pressure to maintain focus on sustainability actions, strategies, and manufacturing life cycles while meeting demand. Investors, customers, governments, and regulators are all pushing for a more sustainable semiconductor ecosystem.

Business to planet

Conciously accelerating sustainability

Determination is required for the semiconductor industry to meet net-zero targets

Meeting demand cannot be at the expense of the planet. Semiconductor companies need to consciously accelerate sustainability and meet business growth at the same time. There are opportunities to drive sustainability across the entire semiconductor value chain, from design and manufacturing to testing and distribution.

Capgemini has the end-to-end capabilities to build sustainable ecosystems that unlock value and deliver impact. Our broader sustainability perspective, Business to Planet mindset, believes business serves the planet and its customers.

We are acting with purpose through our partnership with Global Semiconductor Alliance to lead its Sustainability Interest Group. Driving active discussions, finding new methods, and collaborating with members will advance sustainability initiatives in the semiconductor industry.

Achieving sustainability is more than hitting regulatory targets. Capgemini can help create business value that is positively transformative. Let us help you accelerate change for your business and the planet – for today and tomorrow.
