Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of
STMicroelectronics pioneering Environmental Decalogue, which sets out public
targets for the Company's contribution to sustainable development, the company
has posted online the full report for the year 2004.
A few items noticed in the 116 page document concerned
PFC emissions increased slightly over 2003 as production was ramped to meet
demand. This was against plans to continue reduction programs. To that end the
company will spend $5 million US dollars on more PFC abatement technology in
2005 in an effort to get back inline with longterm targets.
STMicroelectronics is also building a co-generation
plant for its Catania fab as the energy savings of next generation plants has
become increasingly compelling.
The company also noted that they may be experiencing
some king of sex discrimination at its facilities in Grenoble, (Crolles1 and
Crolles2 fabs). The company is investigating previous concerns from female
workers and has a study underway.
