Driving sustainable impact at Micron

At Micron, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to reducing carbon emissions, minimizing waste and advancing water recycling efforts. In Malaysia, we’ve achieved 100% renewable energy adoption through the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) program. Through this effort, we’ve eliminated 175,381 metric tons of carbon emissions annually, which is equivalent to removing 35,076 passenger cars from the road. Guided by our 2W2E framework — waste, water, energy and emissions — we integrate responsible operations and sourcing with engaged teams and innovative products to create lasting benefits to the planet and our communities.
