Sustainability

Scope

Drive and enable stakeholders in the electronics manufacturing value chain to meet organizational and societal sustainability goals in all parts of the electronics manufacturing value chain.

Drivers

Lack of cohesive approach to sustainability; need to address global restrictions and regulations, need to enable tools to support sustainability.
