ASM International N.V. (Euronext Amsterdam: ASM) announces today the launch of
its Climate Transition Plan aimed at detailing its sustainability efforts with a
path to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2035.
ASM's plan outlines a strategic pathway to decarbonize its operations, products,
and supply chain, playing a leading role in transitioning the semiconductor
industry towards an environmentally sustainable future.
"Our Climate Transition Plan is not just a statement of intent; it is our
blueprint for action. ASM is proud to be the first semiconductor company to
receive a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net Zero target verification
in 2023, underscoring our commitment. With our plan aligned with this scientific
standard, ASM is at the forefront of the industry's move towards a sustainable
future" remarked Benjamin Loh, President and CEO of ASM.
The plan also highlights ASM's achievements to date, including achieving 88%
renewable electricity in 2023 aligned with our sourcing 100% renewable energy by
2024 target; Achieving BCA Green Mark Gold+ green building certification in
Singapore; pursuing LEED Gold minimum rating for the new state-of-the-art
sustainable facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona and in Dongtan, South Korea;
deepened supplier engagement through the CDP Supply Chain Program; increased
impact via ASM's partnership with major semiconductor companies via Catalyze
program amplifying industry-wide efforts. Notably, ASM's leadership was
recognized with a prestigious A- score for each of our most recent CDP Climate
Change and Water Security submittals.
ASM plans to build on these successes by focusing on renewable energy for our
own operations and value chain energy needs. Innovation in product energy
efficiency will additionally reduce our own and downstream operational
footprint. Moving towards low-carbon procurement will reduce the impact our
purchased goods.

Plan is a living document that will evolve as we make progress toward reaching
our net-zero target, it reflects our dedication to transparency, accountability
