Micrel Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Microchip Technology Incorporated

Micrel Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is part of a corporate family relationship with Microchip Technology Incorporated, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As of now, Micrel Inc. has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of specific climate pledges or initiatives suggests that the company is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential for Micrel Inc. to develop a comprehensive climate action plan that aligns with industry standards and best practices. This would not only enhance its sustainability profile but also contribute positively to the broader efforts of reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the semiconductor industry.
