Due Diligence Against Forced Labor

As our Modern Slavery Statement attests, Semtech (the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) upholds human rights as described in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Company has established a Code of Business Conduct which affirms that all people are to be treated equally and with respect, and the Company adheres to the Responsible Business Alliance’s Sustainability Code of Conduct (the “RBA Code”) Management System which includes Ethics, Labor, Health and Safety, and Environmental requirements.

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Target

As part of our commitment to addressing climate change, we have set an absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target to reduce Scopes 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 27.5% by 2030. This goal is relative to 2019 levels.

The scale of reduction is aligned to the well below 2°C scenario and all facilities under our operational control are included. This target has not been externally verified, however, best practices and guidance from the SBTi, GHG Protocol, and GRI-305 have been integrated while setting this target. We look forward to sharing more about our GHG target in our 2021 Corporate Sustainability Report.

Code of Business Conduct

Our commitment to social responsibility is grounded in our Code of Business Conduct, which applies to all employees, officers, and members of the Board of Directors of the company. In addition, our subcontractors and suppliers are expected to comply with the principles set forth in this Code and to adopt policy documents which implement such compliance.

Semtech is committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest standards of business conduct and integrity. As part of this commitment, we support the principle of freely chosen employment and we do not support the use of forced labor in any of its forms, including slavery and child labor.

Inclusion, Equity and Diversity​

At Semtech, we embrace and encourage our workforce’s differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and other characteristics that make our workforce unique.​

We believe that diversity mitigates the risk of group think, ensures the company benefits from all available talent and enhances, among other things, its organizational strength, problem-solving ability and opportunity for innovation.​

RBA Commitment

The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) is an industry initiative championing social and environmental responsibility. As a Member of the RBA, Semtech fully supports the vision and goals of the RBA. Semtech is required to complete a Self-assessment Questionnaire that assesses our adherence to the RBA Code of Conduct. In addition, we have implemented an internal audit program to monitor compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct. Suppliers that do not meet the standard set by the RBA Code of Conduct are offered training through the RBA and are removed from our supply chain if non-compliance persists.​
