Growth through innovation

ASMI continues to invest in innovation and expansion, sharpens sustainability focus, and delivers strong growth.

In this fifth consecutive year of double-digit growth, we achieved strong expansion in logic/foundry and strengthened our position in the memory market, while working closely with customers to develop the key technologies for the next nodes.

We published our 2025 targets as part of our Growth through Innovation strategy. Prospects for our key ALD and Epi products are bright, enabling industry breakthroughs, such as the next-generation transistor architecture. Supported by increased investments in R&D, we aim to continue outpacing market growth.

We have reinforced our commitment to sustainability. In 2021, we took a next step by defining our sustainability priorities for the next horizon, including announcing our target to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2035.

People are our key asset. We are committed to creating a safe, inspiring, inclusive and diverse workplace where employees have the opportunity to maximize their potential.

With our technology, and underpinned by our values – We Care, We Innovate, We Deliver – we continue to help move the industry roadmap forward, driving innovation in the electronics market and improving people’s lives.

Sustainability

At ASMI, sustainability is about understanding our impact and increasing our value as an integral part of our business strategy.

SUSTAINABILITY PRIORITIES

Long-term sustainable value creation
Sustainability is an integral part of our Growth through Innovation strategy. In 2021, we defined our sustainability focus and priorities for the next horizon – the years 2021 to 2025, and beyond. These are: innovation, people, planet, responsible supply chain, and sustainability governance.

NET ZERO COMMITMENT

Tackling the climate crisis
In 2021, ASMI announced its target to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2035. This includes setting targets for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions, with the aim of reducing emissions as near to zero as possible.

PRISM AWARD

A responsible supply chain
ASMI is committed to collaborating with suppliers to increase the impact of sustainability initiatives and recognize their success. In 2021, ASMI introduced its PRISM Sustainability Award, including Leadership and Innovation categories.

People

Our role is to create an inclusive workplace and culture that allows everyone to grow, thrive, and develop a fulfilling long-term career.

CORE VALUES

Our core values will help us grow employee engagement
We stepped up our internal communications, and implemented improvement actions following our earlier engagement survey. These steps are essential to making us attractive as an employer. We stepped up our talent-recruitment initiatives and benchmarked our global rewards and employee-benefits programs. In 2021 our total number of employees grew 28% to 3,312.

INCLUSION & DIVERSITY

A place where everyone can be their whole self
In 2021 we launched ConvERGe, our new employee resource group, whose objectives are strongly linked to our ESG ambitions: drive an inclusive work culture; lead in gender pay equality; foster recruitment and retention of women across ASMI. ConvERGe is also committing to collaborating with our leadership team to target and drive for 20% women working at ASMI by 2025 (compared to 15% in 2021).

Leadership and development

Long-term career progression is core to retaining our employees
We implemented a talent-management approach built around employees’ strengths. This provides tailored support and career development opportunities. In 2021, hundreds of our people were assessed, with actions designed to tap into their potential. This will continue into 2022, with individual development plans implemented for all employees.
