NXP Semiconductors USA Inc

We believe the semiconductor industry is poised to take on new challenges. Using the latest semiconductor technologies, which produce tiny circuits that can perform advanced functions with relatively low power consumption, our industry can help address some of the most compelling challenges we face as a society – issues relating to energy efficiency, mobile populations, national and personal security, and caring for the health of a growing and rapidly aging world population.

In particular, our industry has the potential to directly address our dependence on fossil fuels and minimize carbon emissions. Semiconductors are already reducing the power consumption of server farms and making consumer appliances operate more efficiently. They're also accelerating the deployment of energy-saving lighting technologies, and helping enable the shift to hybrid and electric vehicles. It is our collective responsibility, as an industry, to continue this trend of being proactive as we create value for consumers, the environment, and society as a whole. We believe that, by building on innovation and providing technologies that directly address societal demands, some of the most exciting times for the semiconductor industry lie ahead.

Sustainability in NXP’s strategy

Sustainability is the responsibility of the Executive Vice President Operations. The Sustainability Board establishes strategy and sets targets for sustainability, while the Sustainability Office performs operational functions. These include managing environmental, health, and safety conditions, overseeing the management of chemicals, monitoring and controlling sustainability related data, supporting customers and contracts, coordinating social investment, liaising with industry associations, and delivering internal and external communications on sustainability.

Our Code of Conduct (the "Code") specifies the rules of behavior that we, as individuals and as an organization, commit to. The BCC states that we are dedicated to being a responsible social partner and to working in a way that is economically, socially, and ethically sustainable. The NXP Ethics Commitee maintains the Code, proposing revisions and managing the processes related to its implementation.

Our Risk and Safety Board is, among other things, responsible for standards, policies, and improvement plans that relate to risk and health and safety. It is supported by our Insurance and Risk Management Department, our Business Continuity Management Office, and our Environment, Safety & Health (ESH) Councils, which consist of senior ESH managers from our worldwide sites and the Sustainability Office.
