The IBIDEN Group Switches to 100% Renewable Electricity at an IC Package Substrate Manufacturing Base in South East Asia

IBIDEN Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Ogaki, Gifu Pref.; President: Takeshi Aoki) is pleased to announce that in August 2022, its production subsidiary IBIDEN Philippines, Inc. (Head Office: Batangas, Philippines) converted its electricity consumption to renewable energy sources.

The IBIDEN Group has strived to enhance the energy efficiency of its manufacturing processes toward the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Group will continue to accelerate its efforts to achieve this goal through the use of renewable energy. Similar use of renewable energy started in March 2022 at IBIDEN Electronics Malaysia SDN. BHD. (Head Office: Penang, Malaysia), another production subsidiary of IBIDEN Co., Ltd. The two bases are expected to reduce a total of over 100,000 tons of CO2 emissions a year, which is equivalent to over 17% of the entire Group's total emissions (581,000 tons) for fiscal 2021.
The IBIDEN Group will continue to promote its efforts against climate change at its bases both inside and outside Japan, including improvements in manufacturing processes and the spread of the use of renewable energy.
