Validation

NXP's data-management system tracks and calculates our environmental performance per facility. EHS conducts a monthly validation of reported data for every facility that a) we own, rent or lease and manage, b) has 50 or more team members, and c) is in our financial reporting.

Validation consists of the following steps:

  • Check for completeness of data (locations and parameters)
  • Compare data from the previous period with data from current reporting period
  • Determine whether changes in data are significant
  • Seek explanations for any significant data changes
  • Investigate significant events to ensure reliable, accurate and complete reporting

EHS also conducts internal data audits of the manufacturing sites as well as the larger office and R&D sites. The audits check for proper reporting procedures and data trails.
