Sustainability Report

Skyworks publishes regular Sustainability Reports highlighting our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement. The comprehensive reports provide important information regarding the status of Skyworks' programs and performance in Environment, Health and Safety, Ethics, Labor, and Management Systems, as well as key metrics demonstrating our use of natural resources, waste reduction, injury and illness rates and much more.

Skyworks’ Sustainability Report describes Skyworks’ CO2e emissions reduction efforts and its factory* Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions reduction target. Skyworks has reduced its factory Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions, and plans to achieve its factory Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions reduction target, by employing several strategies.

These strategies include: source reduction and the substitution of Scope 1 emissions contributors to reduce Scope 1 emissions; and implementing efficiency improvements and increased sourcing of renewable energy certificates to reduce Scope 2 emissions. Skyworks has its factory scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions data verified by Cameron-Cole, an independent environmental services firm, and Skyworks plans to continue having its CO2e emissions data verified by an independent third-party in the future. The most recent verification report from Cameron-Cole is available here.
