SEMI, the industry association serving the global electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, has elected four new Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) Governing Council members and an expanded membership.
Beginning their two-year terms immediately, the new SCC Governing Council members join those elected last year in guiding the Consortium in its mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the global semiconductor value chain. The Council convenes regularly to ensure the SCC is on track to fulfill its vision.
The newly elected SCC governing council members are:
- Missy Bindseil, Director of Sustainability and Communications, JSR
- Shawn Covell, Managing Director, Global Environmental, Social and Governance Strategy, Lam Research
- Katharina Westrich, Global Head of Vertical Management Semiconductor Digital Industries, Siemens AG
- Yuji Ogino, Vice President, Corporate Sustainability Management, Tokyo Electron Ltd. (TEL)
The new SCC Governing Council members add extensive technical, business and sustainability background and knowledge to the group. As the SCC advances in its mission, the Governing Council members act as sponsors to the SCC Working Groups, lead ambition-setting efforts and advise on the formation of new partnerships. Each function is vital in ensuring the effectiveness of the SCC as it serves the semiconductor industry.
“I’m excited to join this group because of the synergies that can be created to help the semiconductor industry move the needle on climate change,” Missy Bindseil, JSR said. “As a materials supplier, our understanding of the challenges, focus priorities and planning will be critical.”
“Being part of the Council aligns perfectly with Siemens’ commitment to transform the everyday using next-generation technologies from design to production,” Katharina Westrich, Siemens AG, said. “I personally believe in the power of the semiconductor ecosystem to tackle the sustainability challenge and am passionate about unlocking the potential of resilient, smart, and sustainable semiconductor manufacturing by collaborating with my fellow SCC members across the entire value chain.”

SCC Pillars
SCC members continue to work under the pillars it established upon its founding:
Collaboration – Align on common approaches, technology innovations and communications channels to continuously reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Transparency – Publicly report progress and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions annually.
Ambition – Set near- and long-term decarbonization targets with the aim of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
