Catalyse is a first-of-its kind programme of collaboration among key semiconductor and technology industry leaders to address the supply chain emissions within their industry

www.zawya.com/, Jul. 20, 2023 – 

Schneider Electric, a leader in the digital transformation of energy management, has launched Catalyse, a new partnership programme aimed at hastening access to renewable energy across the global semiconductor value chain.

Unveiled during SEMICON West 2023, Catalyse is a first-of-its kind programme of collaboration among key semiconductor and technology industry leaders to address the supply chain emissions within their industry.

The programme joins other Schneider Electric supply chain partnership initiatives that seek to leverage the power of supply chain cohorts, including the Energise programme for the pharmaceutical industry, and Walmart's Gigaton PPA programme.

Intel and Applied Materials

Intel, one of the world's leading semiconductor design and manufacturing companies, and Applied Materials, the world's largest semiconductor and display equipment company are the inaugural corporate sponsors of the Catalyse programme.

Together with Schneider Electric, the companies will encourage suppliers from throughout the semiconductor industry ecosystem to join the Catalyse programme and help accelerate the value chain's transition to renewable energy and a low carbon future.

As the global demand for semiconductors in consumer and commercial products increases, the carbon footprint continues to grow, making it imperative for semiconductor industry leaders to collaborate to drive greater use of renewable energy and achieve a more sustainable path to growth.

The shared goal of the Catalyse participants will be to encourage the industry's thousands of suppliers to take bold climate action through decarbonisation. This is a challenging task, due to the complexity of the value chain, data availability and reliability, and the difficulties in defining the boundaries of such emissions.
