Analog Devices announced its intention to press the accelerator on its strategy to improve the global climate, committing to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. As part of the company's roadmap to Net Zero Emissions, ADI has signed up to the United Nations "Business Ambition for 1.5°C" pledge and committed to set targets that will be verified by the Science Based Targets (SBTi).

"Climate change represents one of the greatest threats to our society and this decade will be crucial in determining our collective success in reversing the trend. Limiting global warming to 1.5°C will require the global effort of everyone and now is the time to act," said Vincent Roche, President and CEO of Analog Devices. "At ADI, we are committed to meeting the challenge through our engineering resources and further accelerating our environmental sustainability efforts. The commitment we are making today represents bold steps forward in our climate strategy and we will continue to look for new and innovative ways to make significant progress toward our goals."

Analog Devices' climate change strategy 

ADI continues to focus on reducing its impact on the environment and has set targets to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and zero net emissions by 2050. The company will draw up a roadmap later this year outlining strategies and actions to achieve these goals. Among them, ADI will switch to 100 per cent renewable energy use for all its operations by 2025 and address emissions across the value chain, including Scope 3 (carbon neutrality), by 2030.

The company recently joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world's largeststrategic corporate citizenship initiative, comprising over 12,000 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories from over 160 countries, including Italy, and has signed up to the initiative Business Ambition for 1.5°C, by which they mean set science-based targets aligned with limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and achieving zero net emissions by 2050 (targets to be verified by SBTi).

The strategic role of semiconductors

As the foundation of the modern digital economy, semiconductors play an important role in improving living standards while protecting the health of the planet. ADI is uniquely positioned to make a positive impact with a comprehensive portfolio of technologies that meet customers' toughest challenges. These range from battery management solutions that power electric vehicles to precision sensing technologies that enable greater efficiency in industrial automation, as well as power protection and conversion solutions that improve energy efficiency in data centres.
