ON Semiconductor Recognized for its Sustainability Efforts

ON Semiconductor’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program has grown substantially since its inception in 2008, initially focusing solely on compliance and audit via membership with the Responsible Business Alliance, to now including corporate citizenship, ON Semiconductor Foundation (corporate giving, employee volunteerism) and social/sustainability investing assessments. 

Over the last few years, ON Semiconductor has received recognition several times for our CSR efforts. The most notable include: 

Listed on Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies in 2018 and 2019

Included on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (North America) for 2019 and 2020

• The Dow Jones Sustainability Index selects companies for their excellent sustainability through the assessment of criteria such as corporate governance, customer relations, environmental policy, working conditions and social initiatives.

Awarded a Gold Medal for our EcoVadis CSR Rating in 2019 and 2017

ON Semiconductor’s Reclamation Center has won two separate awards for their recycling efforts

• In 2019, our reclamation center was awarded Arizona Recycler of the Year (Large Business) by the Arizona Recycling Coalition and recognized as a Sustainability Champion from Arizona Forward for their outstanding contribution towards sustainability.

Became a signatory to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact in 2019 

• The UN Global Compact encourages collaboration between participating companies, UN agencies, labor groups and societies. In addition, it provides a framework of 10 principles (focused on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption) to take actions that advance societal goals. There are currently over 10,000 organizations representing 161 countries participating. 

ON Semiconductor‘s strong commitment to CSR and these achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of their leadership team and employees. And, in order to meet the needs of the social responsibility growth trajectory for our company, as well as those of our communities, ON Semiconductor’s core CSR team has grown over the past year. Lana Hall’s primary role, on the CSR team, is to oversee CSR reporting as well as social and sustainability investment assessments. 

Through our CSR initiatives, we aim to be a good corporate citizen by creating an environment that not only helps the planet and the local communities where we operate, but also a place where our employees are proud to work.
