Lam Research Earns Spot on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America for the Third Consecutive Year
Achievement recognizes company's ESG leadership and momentum
FREMONT, Calif., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lam Research Corp. (Nasdaq: LRCX) today announced that it has been included on the prestigious 2023 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for North America. The achievement reflects Lam's dedication to environmental, social and governance (ESG) excellence.
"We believe that, as industry leaders, we have a responsibility to act with purpose for a better world," said Stacey MacNeil, chief communications officer and group vice president of ESG at Lam Research. "We are extremely proud to be consistently listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America. This achievement stems from Lam's demonstrated values of accountability and integrity as we continue to integrate ESG principles across all areas of our business."
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, including DJSI North America, are float-adjusted market capitalization weighted indices that measure the performance of companies selected using ESG criteria. The DJSI were launched in 1999 as the pioneering series of global sustainability benchmarks available in the market. The DJSI North America comprises sustainability leaders across industries as identified by S&P Global through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). It represents the top performers of the largest 600 North American companies in the S&P Global BMI based on long-term economic, environmental and social criteria.
Lam's inclusion on the index places it among North American corporate sustainability leaders. Lam's 2023 DJSI North America rating was driven in large part by the company's strong business ethics, health and safety practices, and demonstrated transparency in ESG reporting, including disclosure of waste generation, and water and energy usage.
Lam aspires to advance responsible policies, processes, products, and relationships to build a more sustainable future as it continues to transform the world through technology. This includes becoming the first U.S.-based semiconductor equipment manufacturer to have its near-term emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. More information on Lam's ESG results and accomplishments, which include exceeding the company's 2025 goals for water savings as well as surpassing its 2025 goal for employee volunteer hours in 2022, can be found in Lam's 2022 ESG Report.
