NXP Semiconductors Shares Perspective on World Environment Day 2025

As the global community marks World Environment Day 2025, the theme of environmental responsibility and sustainable innovation takes center stage. Among the leaders in this mission is NXP Semiconductors, a global semiconductor powerhouse, which has once again reaffirmed its strong commitment to sustainability and climate action. In an exclusive insight shared with SMEStreet, Mr. Hitesh Garg, Vice President and India Managing Director at NXP Semiconductors, elaborated on the company’s vision and action plan towards building a greener future.

“At NXP, caring for our environment and our workforce are deeply interconnected,” said Mr. Garg. “This World Environment Day, we reaffirm our commitment to building a sustainable future through measurable action — from reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and scaling renewable electricity, to recycling over 89% of our waste and 55% of our wastewater.”

This commitment is not just a statement—it's backed by tangible progress and global certifications that validate NXP’s responsible practices. The company has implemented stringent oversight mechanisms and continuous workforce training programs to ensure that sustainability is not an isolated department but a company-wide culture.

“Supported by global certifications, strong oversight, and continuous workforce training, our efforts are rooted in accountability and action,” Mr. Garg explained. “These steps not only reflect our global ESG goals but also align closely with India’s Net Zero ambitions — a national mission to achieve carbon neutrality by 2070.”

NXP’s alignment with India’s Net Zero goal is both timely and strategic. As India ramps up its efforts to combat climate change, collaboration from industry players like NXP is crucial. The semiconductor sector, being energy-intensive by nature, holds significant potential to influence positive environmental outcomes through innovation and sustainable practices.

“Together, we’re turning environmental ambition into action, and action into long-term impact,” Mr. Garg concluded.

NXP’s commitment serves as a compelling example of how technology and sustainability can go hand-in-hand. As India continues to rise as a hub for semiconductor innovation, companies that embed sustainability into their core strategy will not only future-proof their operations but also contribute meaningfully to global climate goals.

On this World Environment Day, NXP’s leadership offers both inspiration and a roadmap for other organizations—especially within India’s MSME and tech ecosystems—to integrate sustainability into their growth journeys.
