ABOUT AIXTRON
Our CSR responsibility as a company
We know that social, ecological and economic activities and services influence each other and have noticeable interactions. As a supplier to a pioneering key industry, we conduct our business carefully, responsibly and taking the interests of all stakeholders into account. Our efforts are therefore aimed at a future for our company, our customers and society that is characterized by sustainability. This is reflected in our CSR policy , which sets out guidelines for responsible and sustainable economic activity.
Sustainability is much more than just complying with regulations and rules. It must be an expression of a constant and serious effort to permanently improve our economic, ecological and social aspects. We also want our employees to be motivated to work for a responsible company and to develop products and technologies that can change the world.
The deposition systems from AIXTRON - a global leader in the semiconductor industry - are used to produce high-performance components for electronic and opto -electronic applications based on compound and organic semiconductor materials.
We can have a particular influence on the design and development of our products. Through our future-oriented technologies, but also through the use of Industry 4.0 processes, we contribute to a significant reduction in the energy consumption of our customers' and their customers' products. For example, power components (III-V semiconductors) made of gallium nitride ( GaN ) with a large bandgap, such as those manufactured on our systems, require significantly less energy with the same or higher performance compared to conventional silicon-based power chips.
We also continuously reduce the environmental impact in the manufacturing process and in our building technology by using energy and other natural resources consciously and responsibly.
Protecting the climate plays an important role for AIXTRON. We attach great importance to keeping the ecological footprint that we leave behind through our business activities as small as possible and minimizing the release of climate-damaging CO2-emissions.
AIXTRON stands for energy-efficient technologies worldwide: With our products and solutions, we contribute to greater energy efficiency in numerous key industries and thus take an active role in reducing avoidable greenhouse gas emissions. We have had an ISO 50001-certified energy management system since 2014, which forms the basis for implementing effective energy efficiency measures at AIXTRON.
In order to avoid impact on our climate as much as possible, AIXTRON now sources its electricity entirely from renewable energies and thus makes an important contribution to avoiding greenhouse gas emissions. As part of our company-wide climate efficiency strategy, we offset the remaining and currently unavoidable CO2-emissions, such as those caused by business trips, building heating or commuting ( Scopes 1 and 2 as well as part of the Scope 3 emissions), through certified climate protection projects.
More details about AIXTRON's sustainability activities can be found in the reports below, which are published annually in addition to the annual report. In addition, you will find the certificates for the climate protection contribution from our partner First Climate below. The exact quantities can be found in the audited sustainability report (non-financial declaration in the sustainability report).
