Environment
As part of our commitment to prevent pollution and conserve the earth's natural resources, we make the environment a key pillar in our Sustainability Policy and our sustainability strategy.
NXP did not receive any notices of violation (NOVs) or record any significant spills, fines or sanctions for noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations in 2020.

Monitoring
Proactively assess our management systems to identify and mitigate any potential risks or hazards for both environmental and social issues.
Risk Assessment
Annually evaluate potential risks and environmental hazards.
Mitigate significant identified risks and hazards through programs, procedures and engineering controls.
Self-Assessments
Annually complete an RBA Self-Assessment questionnaire and dedicated management systems focused on environmental and/or social risks.
Mitigate significant identified risks by updating programs, procedures and engineering controls.
Audits
3rd party audits for manufacturing sites are done every 30 months and managed through an internal audit-management system. A formal report is issued and corrective actions are tracked until successfully closed.
Non-manufacturing facilities (labs and R&D) have 3rd party audits on an average of two sites per year. Reports are issued and monitored until successfully closed.
3rd party social responsibility audits are conducted and managed through an internal audit-management system. A formal report is issued and monitored until successfully closed.
Training
Employee training is conducted regularly worldwide to ensure all employees have the knowledge and skills needed to control and minimize environmental risks. This includes on-the-job training, specialized trainings in environmental matters, quality controls and chemical management. Environmental training and awareness includes workers who are instrumental to incident investigations and who help plan management systems elements.
Validation
An EHS metric software 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 employees, 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.
