BERLIN, Germany – June 10, 2025 – SEMI Europe is pleased to announce a new three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), which will serve as a knowledge partner in the green transition of the semiconductor industry.
The purpose of the MoU between SEMI Europe and SEI is to provide a framework of cooperation and understanding, and to facilitate collaboration to further shared goals and objectives linked to global challenges. These include, but are not limited to, pollution, climate change, decarbonisation, the sustainable development of the semiconductor industry, and the implementation and promotion of the European Green Deal.
“Our strategic collaboration with Stockholm Environment Institute is a key step in driving sustainability across the semiconductor value chain,” said Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe. “By combining SEMI Europe’s industry leadership with SEI’s research expertise, we support the EU’s goal of climate neutrality through climate action, circularity, and responsible innovation.”
Areas of cooperation for the MoU include sustainable consumption and production; sustainable business and industry transition(s), critical metals and minerals, the science-policy interface, environment and human health, circular economy, climate change and atmospheric quality, pollution, artificial intelligence, and education for sustainable development.
“The partnership with SEMI Europe, with its over 3,000 global members, has great potential to be impactful and accelerate implementation of the green transition in the electronics and semiconductor industry,” said Måns Nilsson, SEI Executive Director.
SEI is an international non-profit research institute that tackles climate, environmental and sustainable development challenges. It has a diverse research agenda including air pollution, climate change, sustainable consumption, and human health. Using a range of participatory approaches, such as citizen science, SEI helps policymakers around the world make informed decisions for a sustainable future.
