Power Integrations, Inc. (POWI) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

Power Integrations has not disclosed Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions data in its 10-K filing. No net-zero target date or climate commitments are disclosed. The company acknowledges risks from changing environmental regulations and climate change but provides no quantified emissions baseline, mitigation roadmap, or third-party verification. The semiconductor manufacturing supply chain (wafer foundries in Japan and assembly subcontractors in Asia) introduces material Scope 3 exposure that is entirely unquantified. Without emissions disclosure, renewable energy commitments, or decarbonization initiatives, the environmental pillar cannot be validated. The company's risk disclosures regarding climate change impacts on operations and customer demand indicate awareness but no proactive strategy.

Criticisms on file

No emissions disclosure (Scope 1, 2, or 3) despite material semiconductor manufacturing supply-chain footprint. No net-zero commitment or climate action plan disclosed.
