Our Responsibility to the Environment
Cirrus Logic showcases its commitment to environmental responsibility through a wide variety of programs focused on improving the well-being of our communities and the health of the planet. From working with our supply chain partners, to empowering employees to reduce our carbon footprint, to philanthropy and engagement with nonprofit organizations, Cirrus Logic believes that focusing on the environment is more than just good for business - it's the right thing to do.
Sustainability in the Workplace
Focusing on the environment means making conscientious decisions about our everyday workplace practices.
Transportation - Employees are encouraged to utilize our Cirrus Logic-sponsored employee commuter shuttles and subsidized public transportation.
Extensive Recycling Program - Separate waste streams for food/composting, dry recyclables (plastic/cardboard/glass), electronic waste, and batteries.
Plastic and Paper Reduction Program - Work to reduce plastic and paper waste by utilizing water refill stations and providing employees with reusable mugs.
Free Electric Car Charging Points - Cirrus Logic offers free electric vehicle charging stations for employee use in numerous locations in the US and UK; 11 percent of employees in these offices have registered for free charging.
Energy Efficiency - Utilize LED lighting, smart controls and energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
eWaste - To reduce waste sent to landfills, Cirrus Logic resells, donates and recycles e-waste where possible.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Cirrus Logic is evaluating the environmental impact associated with our company’s immediate and upstream operations. We will continue to track our GHG emissions to help identify opportunities for improvement.
Renewable Energy - Our UK and Austin offices are powered with 100 percent renewable electricity contracts, and we are committed to increasing the amount of renewable energy we procure over time. In FY24, 87 percent of our total electricity use and 86 percent of our total energy use was sourced from renewable resources such as wind and solar.
Reduction Target - Using science-based targets as our guide, Cirrus Logic set a target to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90 percent by FY30, compared to FY21. Since FY21, we have decreased our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 75 percent, progressing well against our stated reduction target.
