Micron Sustainability

Micron’s employees around the world actively engage in the philanthropy and volunteerism initiatives of the Micron Foundation. Active participation in our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) is one way we address the needs of underrepresented populations and ensure all voices are heard. We now have a total of eight ERGs with chapters worldwide, enabling mentorship, networking and visibility. We are also expanding programs to seek employee input and feedback on company activities, and to encourage involvement in strengthening our environmental and social programs.

We believe that climate change poses a critical threat to people, communities, businesses, environments and economies around the world. This is why climate change and GHG reductions are among Micron’s sustainability priorities, and why we have set aggressive aspirational goals. We understand that we impact the communities where we live and work, so our Boise, Singapore, and Manassas facilities use innovative design to improve the sustainability of our footprint.

Micron has committed to strengthening and adding to our existing programs and efforts to address social justice. This includes supporting our team members; developing a diverse, equal and inclusive workplace; ensuring that our workforce has access to unconscious bias training and providing our leaders with inclusive leadership coursework and empowerment. It also includes acting in our wider community by creating economic opportunities for diverse suppliers, giving to critically important organizations such as the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, actively supporting inclusive public policy, and fostering diverse and inclusive applications of technology. And we commit to holding ourselves accountable by clearly reporting on our efforts and progress on addressing our shortcomings and challenges.

Micron provides sustainability information through several supply chain disclosure platforms, including the Responsible Business Alliance, Responsible Minerals Initiative, CDP, Ecovadis, and others.

Adherence to applicable product and trade compliance regulations is a high priority for Micron and our business partners. Proactive product compliance, validation and certification processes allow us to deliver new products quickly while ensuring proper export and substance control and conformance with current and future requirements.

Sustainability/ESG performance is a component of every Micron employee’s variable compensation, including management.

Micron’s ESG investments ensure that we can meet the increasing expectations of key customers, attract talent in a highly-competitive market, and effectively manage regulatory, reputational, and other risks, in addition to ensuring the energy and resource efficiency of our operations. The exact ROI is difficult to measure, but these are clear, significant and tangible business benefits resulting from these expenditures.
