Set 2030+ ESG goals

Lam Research refreshed its ESG goal program after reaching most of its 2025 targets. It says the new 2030+ goals were reviewed across teams, then reset, retired, or reframed where needed. The company says these goals are approved through its ESG governance structure and are meant to keep progress measurable and accountable. The goals cover products, people, and the planet, which means they include product design, worker topics, and environmental impact.

Published emissions targets

Lam Research has set climate goals that include cutting Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, which are the emissions from its own operations and purchased energy. It also plans to reduce Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products, which means emissions created when customers use its equipment. The company says it is also working toward 100% renewable electricity and net zero operations by 2040, with net zero emissions across the business by 2050.

Focused on supplier audits

Lam Research says it wants 75% of in-scope direct supplier facilities to have a valid audit by 2030. A supplier audit is a formal check of a supplier’s practices, often covering labour, safety, and environmental issues. The company also says it wants 95% of its top direct suppliers, measured by spend, to have science-based targets by 2030. Science-based targets are climate goals that are meant to match what climate science says is needed.

Expanded people and talent goals

Lam Research has set goals tied to employee engagement, learning, safety, and talent development. It wants engagement scores to stay above a global benchmark, learning hours per employee to stay above benchmark, and its recordable injury rate to remain below 0.4 injuries per 100 workers each year. It also plans to up-skill at least 70,000 students by 2031 and directly benefit 750,000 people through social impact programs by 2030.

Improving energy, water and waste

Lam Research says it is working on energy savings, water conservation, waste diversion, and circular economy practices. Its goals include saving 8 million kWh of energy by 2030, achieving 80 million gallons of water savings by 2035, and applying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency waste management hierarchy to its facilities. The waste hierarchy is a step-by-step approach that puts prevention first, then reuse, recycling, recovery, and disposal last.

Uses sustainability in product design

Lam Research says it develops products with lower energy use and fewer raw materials. It highlights the Sense.i product family, which is described as using less energy and fewer materials in a vertical, space-saving design. The company presents this as part of its Product+ pillar, linking product design to lower environmental impact during use and in manufacturing.
