WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 19,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today
announced it has been named the Best Partner in the Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) category by Samsung Electronics.
The prestigious award, presented at Samsung's Material-day (M-day)
event, recognizes DuPont's significant contributions in
establishing a sustainable supply chain by collaborating to develop
more sustainable semiconductor materials.
Organized by Samsung Electronics' Materials Technology Group,
M-day gathers semiconductor material partners annually to celebrate
outstanding achievements over the past year. The event, held at
Samsung's training center in Yongin-si, South Korea, also includes educational
sessions on the group's quality management processes and technology
priorities to foster collaboration.
"DuPont has made substantial contributions to the development of
material technology for semiconductor fabrication," Sam-Jong Choi, Material Technology Team
Leader, DS Division, Samsung Electronics. "As the significance of
ESG in the materials and technologies sector continues to rise, we
eagerly anticipate further collaboration between our two companies
to drive sustainable growth."
DuPont innovates alongside customers to enable next-generation
technology needs and offers high-performance semiconductor
fabrication materials and technical support. Increasingly,
DuPont's customers are looking for solutions to support their
sustainability goals, including reducing energy consumption and
emissions, improving material and process circularity, and
enhancing responsible procurement practices. New material
development includes formulations that reduce substances of concern
and improve process safety. In addition, offerings can be optimized
for longer lifetime or reduction of the amount of material used,
creating operational efficiencies for fabricators or reducing their
waste streams.
"As a global leader in semiconductor fabrication and packaging
materials, we constantly work side-by-side with our customers to
better understand their ESG ambitions, and we work tirelessly to
provide them with sustainable solutions using materials science to
drive positive climate action, together," said Hyun-Joo Park, Global Sustainability Leader,
DuPont Semiconductor Technologies. "We're delighted that our work
has been recognized, and receiving this award is a reflection of
the deep commitment we have in collaborating with major global
partners like Samsung Electronics to drive the innovations
necessary for a better world."
Both DuPont and Samsung Electronics are founding members of the
Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC), the first global,
ecosystem-wide effort to advance the semiconductor industry's
response to the challenge of climate change. Representatives from
both companies are on the SCC Governing Council and play a key role
in guiding its work, including the recent formation of an Energy
Collaborative to improve access to low-carbon energy in the
Asia-Pacific region.
