Skyworks’ sustainability report shows increased efficiencies across all major environmental categories

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) recently released its 2018 Sustainability Report, a voluntary, non-financial public document that provides a comprehensive self-assessment of the firm’s sustainable business practices. The report highlights Skyworks’ reductions in waste, energy and water usage, as well as progress across other areas including labor, ethics, health & safety, and management systems.

Skyworks says that, by utilizing well-established environmental management systems and setting aggressive targets, it has exceeded its internal goals, resulting in meaningful year-over-year improvements. Milestones in 2018 included:

conserving 72,700 megawatt hours of energy (enough to power 6156 homes for one year);
averting nearly 9300 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions (comparable to removing 1974 passenger vehicles from the road for one year);
saving 106 million gallons of water;
avoiding the generation of 526,000 pounds of hazardous waste; and
keeping 102,000 pounds of municipal waste from landfills.

“Skyworks is proud to have achieved significant efficiency improvements across all major environmental categories, particularly as we increased production and capacity,” says Steven C. Machuga, VP of worldwide operations. “As an enabler of ubiquitous connectivity, we remain steadfast in our commitment to meet the growing demand for our wireless engines without compromising our sustainability initiatives.”
