Skyworks reduces year-on-year energy usage by 15% despite record production

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has released its 2014 Sustainability Report, a voluntary non-financial public document that addresses the firm's commitment to sustainable business practices. The report highlights annual efficiency improvements and provides an overview of Skyworks' initiatives in multiple areas, from its environmental efforts and labor practices, to its health & safety programs, ethics policies and stewardship activities.

Skyworks says that in 2014 it continued its trend of manufacturing products with fewer natural resources, reducing hazardous materials and increasing energy efficiency. The firm also took further steps to ensure its materials continue to be sourced responsibly, expanded its employee programs promoting health, fitness and safety, and completed a global employee survey to find ways to make Skyworks a better place to work.

"Our goal is to develop and manufacture connectivity solutions through sustainable business practices, reducing our impact on the global environment," says Bruce J. Freyman, executive VP of worldwide operations. "We look forward to leveraging our systems and processes to ensure continuous improvement."
