ST’s Manufacturing Sites achieve ISO 50001 Certification
STMicroelectronics has announced that it has received ISO 50001 energy-management standard for its six front-end manufacturing sites. ST estimates that the certification process will contribute to saving 14 GWh of energy and US$2 million in the 2013-2014 time frame.

We had started to upgrade our energy-management systems in anticipation of ISO 50001 before the standard was finalized. Today, our products and technologies are recognized as enabling low-energy consumption for the end-user. It is completely complementary now for our manufacturing sites producing those products to be certified, an acknowledgement of the substantial work undertaken at sites for better energy consumption and management,” said Edwin Dobson, Director Facilities, Front-End Manufacturing and Technologies, STMicroelectronics.
ST’s Agrate site in Italy was the first to achieve the ISO 50001 certification, followed quickly by Catania in Italy and ST’s other front-end sites in France and Singapore. Each manufacturing site enables to both monitor and optimize its consumption of electricity and natural gas and explore all opportunities to minimize the amount of energy used, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
