SEMI’s Mousumi Bhat and Collin O'Mara, NWF, Talk About Climate Equity and Social Justice

At SEMICON West, one of the key areas of discussion was the Path to Net Zero. What can we do to make sure the semiconductor industry grows in a way that is beneficial to the planet and shows cross-industry leadership? 

Françoise von Trapp talks to SEMI’s Dr. Mousumi Bhat, VP of Global Sustainability Programs, and Collin O’Mara, CEO of the National Wildlife Federation about key takeaways from the sessions at the Climate Equity & Social Impact Pavilion at SEMICON West.

The program brought together leading climate and climate justice experts from across the United States, federal agencies like US EPA and the newly established Chips for America office, a White House advisor, and many SEMI member companies such as Lam Research, ASML, Western Digital, and TEL. 

O’Mara talks about why the CEO of the NWF is at SEMICON West, and the opportunities he sees for the semiconductor industry to address the climate crisis.

Bhat explains how the Climate Equity Pavilion relates to SEMI’s global work to help the industry collaborate for net zero through the Semiconductor Climate Consortium and other efforts. She also explains the importance of collaboration across the value chain to achieving Net Zero Goals, and what the industry is doing now to accelerate progress.
