The 2009 Lunar New Year Global Green Award from the Texas Asian Chamber of Commerce has been given to International SEMATECH Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI) for its contributions to developing processes, standards and systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at member company’s semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
“With this award we recognize ISMI's leadership in developing and implementing cost-effective environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and procedures,” notes Mohan Kharbanda, Chairman of Texas Asian Chamber of Commerce. “ISMI has brought significant value to the industry, and to the State of Texas, by improving the global supply chain and manufacturing infrastructure.”
“Over the past 15 years we’ve been assisting our members and the industry in various energy conservation activities, and we are honored that our expertise was recognized with this award,” said Scott Kramer, vice president of manufacturing technologies at SEMATECH. “Sustainable manufacturing is vital for long-term growth and the Center will continue to lead the effort to keep our industry’s manufacturing businesses productive, profitable, and sustainable, while significantly reducing the environmental footprint of manufacturing operations.”
ISMI recently established an Environment, Safety & Health (ESH) Technology Center based in Austin.
