The annual United Nations Climate Change Conference COP28 taking place this year in Dubai has brought technology under the sustainability spotlight. In an era of rapid technological advancement, digitalization and proliferation of AI, environmental impacts of technology cannot be overlooked. The semiconductor industry is now at a unique juncture: the global demand for semiconductor products is growing rapidly alongside increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Reducing emissions from semiconductor product manufacturing remains the most effective and preferred response measure to climate change for many companies. At the same time, addressing upstream climate impacts alone would not represent a comprehensive picture. Semiconductor companies are increasingly embracing sustainable product design and prioritize power reduction both intrinsically in the products themselves and extrinsically - by collaborating with their customers around energy efficiency in the data infrastructure systems in which the semiconductor products are deployed.

Marvell recently released its inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, detailing the company's goals, strategic approach, and commitment to building a sustainable future. Marvell's approach is based on the areas of greatest impact and opportunity for our company: integrating environmental and social considerations into our product design and responsibly managing the impacts of our supply chain, while focusing on strategic ESG initiatives that are material to our financial performance and long-term value creation.
Part of our overarching commitment to address ESG topics involves continuous improvement. That’s why Marvell has set a range of goals that showcase key areas of focus for our business, now and in the future.

What Inclusion and Diversity Means to Marvell

To us, diversity means valuing differences. We value the unique perspectives and experiences of every employee. It is this uniqueness that every employee brings to the company, which is powerful and provides us with a competitive advantage.

At Marvell, we are committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work. Our community engagement focuses on three key pillars:
The company will also match employee donations up to $500 per calendar year when an employee makes a donation to a nonprofit aligned with our philanthropic pillars. In addition, we launched a volunteer time off program, offering employees up to three days or 24 hours of paid time off per year to volunteer for causes they care about and support organizations working in our pillar areas. We aim to have at least 20% of our employees participate in our volunteer time off and employee match programs. Both of these endeavors are offered globally.

Today is Zero Emissions Day, which was started to raise awareness of the need to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Here at Marvell, we recognize that climate change represents an unprecedented challenge to our planet, society and economy. That’s why we are enhancing our climate strategy by setting a Science-Based Target (SBT) and putting ourselves on a path to net zero carbon emissions. Our SBT will be aligned with a 1.5°C climate scenario, supporting the goals of the Paris Agreement which is aimed at reducing the worst of climate change.
Our new ESG Report provides a snapshot of our company’s greenhouse gas emissions:
