Sustainable Synergy: Balancing Semiconductor Growth and Environmental Sustainability

This session addresses the challenge of balancing increased demand for electronic materials for semiconductor manufacturing with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements for greenhouse gases. Panelists will discuss how current regulatory standards and emerging climate policy trends align with opportunities to reduce emissions in the near term and invest in the development of climate-friendly substitutes over the longer term. Drawing on relevant examples from other industries, the panel will explore how a new policy framework for the semiconductor industry could guide an orderly transition to a more sustainable future that attracts new investment, enhances global competitiveness, and powers continued growth.
