Infineon ranks among the 15% most sustainable companies in the world

Semiconductor products made by Infineon are the key to attaining better living standards. Our inventiveness and commitment let us create value for customers, staff and investors. We understand how technical systems can be made increasingly efficient through the use of semiconductors, providing sustainable solutions for the world of today and the world of tomorrow. This makes our customers more successful and is an important contribution to society.

We understand that sustainability encompasses the entire value chain. With this holistic approach we're pioneering a new level of clarity for our customers and stakeholders. As an early mover in the industry, Infineon provides customers with a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for our main product categories. We are committed to eventually providing PCF data for the entire product portfolio, starting with about half of our portfolio now.

OktoberTech™ supports Infineon’s commitment to sustainability

Infineon has a global impact on energy savings through our AI power solutions for data centers and driving carbon neutrality at our factories. Additionally, Infineon keeps sustainability top of mind as we consider all aspects of our events, from the ways we use resources and generate waste, to who we partner with for execution.  

Infineon is proud to partner with Catered Too, a local Bay Area catering company, whose passion for creating green events aligns with our own (they even operate out of a facility run entirely on solar power).

At OktoberTech™ 2025, you will find that together, we made the following environmentally friendly choices:

  • All plates, cups and utensils are either compostable or reusable – including the water bottles.
  • Throughout the Grand Hall, you’ll find carbon offset shelving, specifically designed to capture the carbon produced at the event and reduce its footprint by up to 1kg per unit.
  • The grounds from the custom OktoberTech™ coffee blend that keeps you energized throughout the day will be repurposed for organic gardening, giving the soil a nitrogen boost.
  • Foam core event signage will be donated to local schools for future art projects.
  • Lanyards will be collected post-event and reused at future events.
  • Trained staff will properly dispose of waste, either as recycling, compost or garbage.
  • Best of OktoberTech™ Awards are made from 100% recycled glass.
  • All Infineon Green Team members are outfitted in eco-friendly polo shirts, made with spin dye technology, which reduces water usage and chemical and energy consumption during the production process.

In addition to installing carbon-capturing shelving throughout the Grand Hall, to further offset our carbon footprint for OktoberTech™ 2025, Infineon has donated 1,000 trees to be planted in California, in cooperation with One Tree Planted. 

We make life easier, safer and greener – with technology that achieves more, consumes less and is accessible to everyone.
