Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Operations

NXP minimizes the use of hazardous substances through phase out programs wherever technically possible. We mitigate the risks through engineering controls, process optimization to reduce emissions to air, water and soil.

Engagements

NXP supports employee and community programs for health and wellness with a focus on increasing physical activity and promoting a healthy lifestyle. There is global participation in company-organized initiatives aimed at serving our local communities through employee volunteerism.

Engagements

NXP collaborates with schools and institutions to bring quality education to our next generation. Through our community engagement, sponsorships, employee volunteerism and employee giving we are committed to promoting educational endeavors that encourage students to learn about STEM subjects.

Operations

We currently recycle 48% of our water, and have created a task force to identify new opportunities for water recycling, so we can achieve our 2027 goal of 60% recycled water. We established a detailed roadmap of actions to improve water management through future investments and process improvements to achieve our mid- and long-term goals.

At NXP, we promote environmental management with the aim of helping resolve social issues such as maintaining clean water supply for our communities. Our projects focus on the reduction of water consumption in manufacturing and increased onsite water reuse/recycling.

We monitor and manage the quality of wastewater discharged into the communities in which we operate by utilizing onsite water treatment facilities and continuous monitoring/testing as required by local authorities. We treat our discharge water before it is returned.

Products

We understand that smart and innovative technologies can help bring us all to a more sustainable future. For this reason, we develop solutions aimed at major global needs – from energy efficiency and greener mobility to food security.

For example, in 2022, we introduced Ultra Wideband (UWB) radar for presence detection. In smart homes, presence detection lets light, sound and other functions follow you from room to room, so you only use energy where it's really needed.

Operations

Our ongoing efforts to conserve electricity and optimize our manufacturing processes have helped us use electricity more efficiently. To reduce electricity consumption, our manufacturing sites continually optimize processes and replace or upgrade equipment.

Because we have global manufacturing operations, including wafer fabrication and assembly and test, we recognize the importance of using renewable electricity to power our facilities around the world. It is also an important component of our roadmap toward carbon neutrality.

In 2022, 35% of our overall electricity use was from renewable energy sources. Our Nijmegen wafer fab, in the Netherlands, runs on 100% renewable electricity. We continue to look for new ways to increase our use of renewable electricity sources through power purchase agreements.

Operations

The NXP Sustainability Policy and NXP’s Supplier Code of Conduct requires decent and safe working conditions, decent living quarters, wage and benefits.

Working hours shall not be more than 60 hours per week, except in emergency or unusual situations. Workers shall have at least one day off after six consecutive work days.

We maintained a low Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) of 0.10 in 2022, and remain well below the semiconductor-industry averages. NXP's low injury rate is attributed to the robust Health and Safety programs we have in place at all our manufacturing sites and our EHS awareness initiatives at many of our office and R&D sites.

NXP collaborates, trains, audits and re-audits our factories and our supply chain to verify that the health and safety of workers are compliant to the NXP Social Responsibility Auditable Standards. These standards address the living and working conditions are safe and healthy.

Engagements

Engage with external stakeholders to analyze our Social Responsibility and Human Rights programs, and to use NXP-led initiatives to improve the lives of workers who may have suffered human-rights abuses.

Products

Agriculture, raw materials, manufacturing, energy grids, supply chains – in every industrial sector, significant resources are dedicated to the creation and maintenance of mission-critical applications.

We believe predictive maintenance, which helps keep industrial processes up and running, is an important part of using those resources wisely and extending product life. Our AI and ML solutions make predictive maintenance even more seamless, by making it easier to monitor status, avoid downtime, streamline repairs and, ultimately, keep industry moving.

At the edge of the network, in the Internet of Things (IoT), our sustainable technologies help promote energy efficiency. Our Green IoT innovation enables smart farming, so it takes less energy to grow a larger quantity of quality products. What's more, to make logistics more environmentally friendly, we're using our expertise in mobile robotics to help create low-power industrial drones and rovers that can be used for rapid response and zero-contact delivery.

Products

NXP technology solutions make systems smarter and more secure. This includes real-time communication systems for the vehicle-to-vehicle infrastructure and secure smart cards for more intelligent urban transportation system.

MIFARE 2GO brings mobile ticketing to the busiest cities in the world, making it more convenient to use public transport. With MIFARE 2GO, transit agencies benefit from reduced cash handling, decreased card lifecycle management (less paper and plastic) and lower infrastructure costs, while offering time savings for passengers.

Products

NXP implements due diligence processes to reasonably assure that all minerals in our products are obtained, produced and used in a socially responsible manner. We partner with responsible suppliers to source minerals that do not contribute to human rights abuses.

We design and provide products that meet all relevant regulatory and customer-defined restrictions on the use of substances. We deliver products that are responsibly sourced and produced without using banned chemical substances.

Operations

As an innovative and responsible manufacturer, NXP aims to prevent use of hazardous substances in our products. We continue to evolve our approach to the sourcing, consumption and disposal of materials critical to the manufacturing and testing of our products.

We have set a mid-term goal of recycling 90% of our waste by keeping products and materials in use via reuse, resale, repurposing and recycling. In 2022, we recycled 83% of our total waste (hazardous and non-hazardous), an increase of 10 percentage points compared to 2021.

Operations

By 2027, our mid-term goal is to reduce Scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions by 35% from a 2021 baseline. To reach our mid-term goal, we will address Scope 1 reduction by focusing on designing and/or installing equipment to reduce emissions, substituting chemicals and optimizing manufacturing processes.

We have developed a roadmap with specific actions to achieve our mid-term goal and our long-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2035. Our roadmap to carbon neutrality includes annual emission reduction targets to put NXP on a clearly-defined path to reduce emissions that are in line with the Paris Agreement goals.

In 2021, we focused on conserving electricity, optimizing our processes, upgrading tools and installing abatement equipment. As a result, in 2022, our absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased 1% and our normalized Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by 9% compared to our baseline year, 2021.
