Lam Research improved its CDP Climate Change score from B to A-, reflecting progress toward our net zero goal and commitment to transparency.
Why it matters: CDP is a leading global disclosure system that evaluates climate governance, risk management, emissions reduction, and goal-setting. Many of our tier-one customers requested our participation. They can see our responses and scores on the CDP portal.
What drove the improvement:
- SBTi-approved Scope 3 product emissions reduction goal
- Third-party verification of Scope 3 data (first time)
- Year-over-year reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions
- Expanded value chain engagement on climate disclosures
The big picture: “Collaborating with our customers is essential to building a more sustainable industry,” says Shawn Covell, Lam’s head of ESG. “By transparently sharing our data via CDP and making progress on our net zero roadmap, we are contributing to our customers’ ability to achieve their climate goals.”
Lam’s improved score reflects our robust sustainability program, including our net zero strategy and roadmap, as well as industry memberships that drive climate progress, like RE100 and SEMI’s Climate Consortium and Energy Collaborative.
