Leading Semiconductor Companies: Water Management Trends and Corporate Sustainability Strategies
Global demand for semiconductors has accelerated in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Internet of Things and reliance on more technologically advanced hardware in our daily lives (e.g., smart phones, automobiles, video games) has had a direct impact on computer chip demand, globally. As such, the market for semiconductors has grown to an estimated US$550 billion, annually
Given that semiconductor fabs require as much as 34,000 cubic meters of ultrapure water per day, the leading companies' exposure to drought, let alone public concerns about water usage, is on the rise. At the same time, water-related risks on semiconductor companies from climate events, globally, are being felt in real time.
In response, select semiconductor companies have outlined strategies and deployed advanced technologies to reduce water footprints. Investments in water reuse, restoration projects, and increasing operation water-efficiency are being utilized in efforts to mitigate a growing list of water-related challenges.
