How is Edwards reducing CO2 in their supply chain?

At Edwards, Scope 3 is where we see the most emissions. We’ve switched over to renewable electricity in Korea, with the aim of showing the Korean government that this is a key factor for us in producing in the country.

As a producer, it’s important to put your money where your mouth is, and spend on renewables wherever possible to support the global shift to cleaner energy. We strive to reduce the power consumption of our manufacturing processes and our products themselves, as well as making equipment more efficient to allow us to produce more chips with less equipment.

Recycling water and gases are also great ways to reduce the environmental impact of production, limiting waste production, and making sure our packing is optimised for reuse and recycling. With an increased global demand for semiconductors, we’re looking to increase our global manufacturing footprint, to create supply chains as close to customers as possible to reduce the need for long haul transit. Influencing our customers is important, and encouraging uptake of renewables and waste reduction along the supply chain.
