The companies will engage with common suppliers to help them develop and implement effective decarbonisation strategies. This will involve workshops, meetings, and the sharing of best practices and learnings related to decarbonisation.

The aim is to identify areas for improvement and support suppliers in setting science-based emissions reduction targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative.

Both companies are committed to providing ongoing guidance, fostering exchange, and tracking progress to drive continuous improvement across the common supply chain.

“Infineon has made excellent progress towards its aim to become CO 2-neutral for scope 1 and 2 by 2030,” says Infineon’s Chief Procurement Officer, Angelique van der Burg (pictured)  “supply-chain-related Scope-3-emissions represent the highest share of total emissions at Infineon and are the hardest ones to minimise.”

“This initiative is pivotal in achieving Amkor’s goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 by strengthening supply chain engagement through joint efforts,” says Amkor CEO Giel Rutten (pictured).

Infineon introduced a supplier engagement program in 2023. Since then, the company has been working with more than a hundred suppliers to set and implement science-based targets.
