Global Impact

KLA’s ESG strategy is built around four strategic pillars: opportunity, innovation, environmental stewardship and leadership. Within these pillars, specific focus areas and objectives help us prioritize ESG investments and drive progress across our value chain, from our people and operations to our products, services and partnerships.

Our near-term, science-based Scope 1, 2 and 3 targets have been approved by the SBTi.

  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions 50% by 2030 from a 2021 base year
  • Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products 52% per billion transistors inspected, measured or processed within the same timeframe

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We believe the future of the semiconductor industry is one in which innovation and sustainability are inextricably intertwined. This will require work on a scale that ranges from microscopic to global – a combination of deep science, technical problem-solving and collaboration across the value chain. As a company that has built its business on tackling complex challenges, we are committed to keep looking for – and leading with – solutions that will take us forward.

Our approach to sustainability is grounded in the belief that a relentless drive to innovate and improve can have a profound impact on our business, customers and the industry. KLA enables evolution and innovation in the data era across key industries, including automotive, mobile and data center by providing customers with comprehensive process control and process-enabling solutions for semiconductor manufacturing.

In 2024, KLA received approval from the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) for our near-term, science-based targets covering Scope 1, 2 and 3.

In addition to our SBTi validated targets, KLA continues to demonstrate meaningful progress to achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2030 across our global operations and aims to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050.
