[Asia Economy Reporter Sunmi Park] SK Hynix is joining a global climate change response initiative led by the global semiconductor industry. On the 7th, SK Hynix announced that it recently became a founding member of the 'Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC),' newly established by the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI).


The SCC is the first global consortium formed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the entire semiconductor value chain. Founding members include major semiconductor companies and global ICT firms representing various sectors such as materials, components, equipment, and manufacturing, including SK Hynix.


SK Hynix stated that it joined the SCC in recognition of the need for a joint response to global climate change. Through this, the company plans to ▲ closely collaborate on methodologies, technological innovations, and communication activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ▲ enhance transparency in management through annual progress reports on emission reduction performance, and ▲ actively cooperate to achieve the principles and goals set by the SCC, including establishing short- and long-term targets for greenhouse gas reduction with the aim of achieving net zero by 2050.



Lee Bang-sil, Vice President of ESG Strategy at SK Hynix, emphasized, “Collaboration with partners who share the same vision is essential to successfully respond to climate change,” adding, “I believe the SCC will strengthen the semiconductor industry's collective efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately be a great force in everyone's journey toward achieving net zero. Going forward, SK Hynix will actively cooperate with all stakeholders within the semiconductor value chain to contribute to building a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem.”
