Corporate Responsibility

Our Commitment to the Environment

We strive to be the environmental leader in the field of vacuum pumping and abatement by applying technology, products and services to benefit the environment for future generations. 

A Sustainable Future
At Edwards we want to inspire the semiconductor industry to work together for a better future. By uniting together, our industry has the power to commit to change and decarbonise the grid.

  • Over our products’ life-cycle we prevent more carbon emissions than we generate
  • Our technologies enable the manufacturing of a wide range of environmental products - vacuum is essential for the production of solar cells and solid state lighting
  • When our products need replacing we offer ways to refurbish them for reuse – we already refurbish 35,000 of them each year. At the end of their life cycle, our vacuum products are disassembled so that their primary materials are recycled keeping them out of landfills
  • We’re also investing in new facilities that meet or exceed environmental norms and changing the ways we work. For example, we are in the process of moving our European and North American product companies to using 100% renewable electricity.

Our continued commitment to integrate corporate social responsibility into our business supports our ability to generate sustainable long-term value. We strongly believe that high standards of responsibility are not just compatible with, but positively support, growth and business efficiency. Embracing such policies and behaviours helps us to develop more valuable relationships with our customers. 

Ethics

Our business brings with it obligations to comply with complex laws, rules and regulations. In order to meet these obligations we have established a Code of Conduct and related policies that set out our core values to ensure we behave ethically, with integrity, and with mutual respect.

Customers & Business Partners

We aim to be a world leader in the management of health and safety (SHE), all while delivering quality products & superior customer service effectively, efficiently & consistently. The business sets high standards and strives to eliminate any foreseeable hazards that may result in SHE loss, including property damage, environmental exposure and personal injury or illness, to our employees, suppliers and customers.

  • Dedicated product safety and compliance reviews, including environmental impact, through the product lifecycle
