Infineon Wins German Sustainability Award 2025

Infineon Technologies AG has won the German Sustainability Award in the “Electrical Engineering and Electronics” category. The German Sustainability Award recognizes companies which make effective and exemplary contributions to transformation and which function as role models within their industry.

“The jury is of the opinion that Infineon has assumed a leading role in the field of sustainability and serves the sector as a ‘beacon’ for successful transformation,” the judges said in their statement.

“We are particularly honored and delighted to win the German Sustainability Award,” said Elke Reichart, member of the Management Board and chief digital and sustainability officer at Infineon, who accepted the award in Duesseldorf. “We at Infineon work hard to drive decarbonization and digitalization and to create a more sustainable future. This award is recognition, as well as an incentive to be a role model in sustainability and to continue rigorously implementing our ambitious sustainability strategy – together with our employees, customers and partners.”

Infineon is pursuing a comprehensive and ambitious decarbonization strategy. The company is making good progress towards the goal it defined in 2020: achieving climate neutrality by 2030. Since then, emissions have been reduced by more than two thirds while revenue has almost doubled.

Infineon’s semiconductors are decisive in making the generation, transmission, storage and use of energy more efficient. A recent example of sustainable product innovation by Infineon is a new type of energy-saving silicon carbide (SiC) module, whose developers were nominated for the 2024 Deutscher Zukunftspreis.

The solution increases the energy efficiency of existing high-performance electrical applications such as solar and wind power plants and train drives. Among other things, the module also facilitates the efficient electrification of large drives such as those found in agricultural and construction machinery, ships and aircraft.
