Show Notes

Globally, sustainability has become a much larger conversation than just taking steps to achieve zero carbon emissions. The UN has established 17 sustainable development goals that cover everything from climate change to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As the world becomes more socially conscious, it is no longer enough for a company to be profitable - they must also be purpose-driven - to make the world a better place. As a result, many semiconductor companies are elevating the importance of Environmental Social Governance efforts. 

 In this podcast episode, Françoise speaks with ASE’s Jennifer Yuen, and KLA’s John McLaughlin about their respective companies' approaches to achieving a successful ESG strategy. Topics of discussion include: 

  • Why putting sustainable development goals at the forefront is critical for the future of the semiconductor industry and the world
  •  What motivated the companies to develop an ESG strategy?
  •  What is the state of ESG in the semiconductor industry today? 
  • How do we create a holistic strategy that keeps the needs of all the stakeholders – employees, customers, investors, and suppliers?
  • Important lessons to consider when putting together a strong ESG strategy 
  • And more…
