Sustainable product solutions
Approach
Developing technologies that enable a more connected, safer and secure world is the core of our business. We drive innovation that supports the sustainable transformation
of key industries and promotes energy-efficient solutions. Development of sustainable products is a strategic focus embedded in our long-term planning.
As part of the new era of edge artificial intelligence (AI) computing, our innovations can drive efficiency and reduce waste by leveraging edge computing, which requires
less energy than cloud computing and provides a more energy-conscious approach to processing data closer to the source. Generative AI can also increase energy and water consumption. We adopt AI responsibly, prioritizing energy-efficient solutions and leveraging AI to accelerate sustainability progress.
We developed a manufacturing Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) methodology that covers emissions from manufacturing (Scope 1 and 2 emissions), as well as external supplier emissions (upstream Scope 3 emissions). This allows us to provide product-level data to customers and guide strategic decisions with transparency and scale.
We continue to work on assessing the sustainability of our portfolio. This helps inform our strategic direction and supports our ongoing efforts to reduce our climate impact and mitigate climate change by offering solutions to our customers that will also reduce their footprint.
2025 Product solutions
Beyond internal processes, we collaborate closely with customers to co-develop innovative solutions that reduce environmental impact at the system level, helping them meet their sustainability goals while advancing ours.
Take, for example, the future of smart buildings that optimize energy use without compromising comfort. This vision is reality through our collaboration with Honeywell, where our i.MX 8M Plus applications processor powers autonomous

building systems. By integrating AI and machine learning, these systems analyze real-time sensor data to predict occupancy patterns and adjust heating, cooling and lighting dynamically, leading to reduced energy waste, lower operational costs and progress toward carbon neutrality.
Similarly, addressing plastic waste requires bold solutions. Through our collaboration with Inotec, NXP leverages UCODE RAIN RFID technology to enable 20-year traceability for reusable flower trays. Embedded RFID tags allow growers and retailers to track trays throughout their lifecycle, ensuring accountability and preventing loss. This simple yet powerful solution replaces single-use plastics with durable, trackable alternatives, reducing landfill waste and conserving resources.
Safeguarding water is essential. Our NAFE family of analog front-end devices powers AI-assisted pH monitoring systems that ensure water quality. These systems detect changes instantly, enabling treatment plants to act before problems escalate. Communities gain reliable access to clean water and ecosystems remain protected from harmful pollutants.

Healthcare, too, benefits from innovation. Hospitals are complex ecosystems where inefficiency can cost lives and resources. We collaborate with healthcare innovators and integrators to deploy RAIN RFID and NFC technologies that streamline operations, improve asset tracking and authenticate medications. Innovators like Bluesight's Kit Check™, deployed in over 900 US hospitals, automate kit
verification using our UCODE RAIN RFID with 99.9% accuracy, reducing waste and preventing errors.
Another example is Ypsomed's SmartPilot™, which uses NXP's NFC to guide patients through self-administration and verify disposables, improving adherence while cutting medical waste. As healthcare supply chains grow in complexity, the value of visibility will only increase. RFID and NFC technologies help unify scattered data and information into a single, trustworthy picture, visualizing the entire supply chain. It shows exactly where vital resources are, how they are used, when they reach end-of-life and when low stock levels
need replenishment. This transparency prevents waste and improves inventory control, as well as supporting the principles of a circular economy, where products and materials are kept in use for as long as possible.
Looking ahead, sustainable innovation is also taking flight through our work in climate-resilient drone technologies. In collaboration with leading research and safety organizations such as Fraunhofer IMTE, NXP enables autonomous drones that monitor coastlines, support early detection of environmental threats and help protect fragile ecosystems. Powered by
NXP's energy-efficient i.MX applications processors, our
RT crossover MCUs and secure connectivity solutions, these
drones can fly longer, process data locally at the edge and operate with a minimal environmental footprint. By reducing the need for fuel-intensive patrol missions and enabling precise, data-driven intervention, this technology strengthens climate-adaptation efforts and supports communities facing rising environmental risks. It is a powerful example of how intelligent, efficient systems can safeguard natural resources while advancing global sustainability goals.
These solutions are more than technological milestones; they are proof of NXP's unwavering commitment to sustainability. We are driving progress toward our sustainability goals, developing higher-performing, energy-efficient products and ensuring responsible use of natural resources. Together, we are shaping a future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand, creating a smarter, safer and more sustainable world for all.

EHS management
Governance
Our Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Management Board is responsible for strategy, approval and resourcing. The EHS Management Board is chaired by the chief operations and manufacturing officer and supported by senior leaders in business lines and staff functions. Our Sustainability, EHS and Sustainable Manufacturing Teams manage annual strategies, policies, goals and metrics and review progress monthly.
Corporate EHS and the Global EHS Leadership Team collectively establish risk-mitigation strategies and develop and deploy standards, programs and procedures to reduce EHS impacts and risks worldwide.
Each manufacturing site's EHS Team collaborates closely with the Manufacturing Teams to review safety metrics,
investigate all incidents and conduct root-cause analyses. The corrective actions taken are communicated to all our global manufacturing sites for continuous improvement. The Global EHS Team also coordinates with multiple regulatory agencies to ensure proper permitting, reporting and compliance with local requirements.
EHS-related policies
The following policies and codes cover topics related to climate, emissions, energy, water, effluents, waste, resource use, circular economy, pollution, biodiversity and health and safety.

Assessments and audits
All NXP manufacturing sites conduct internal environmental and health and safety risk assessments continually. These evaluations address material handling, energy, water and waste management, as well as the likelihood of adverse safety events. Findings inform programs, procedures and engineering controls designed to minimize risk.
As part of the ISO certification process, each site completes an annual EHS Self-Assessment checklist that evaluates the Management System elements of the ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards. To address issues, each site creates a corrective-action plan and closes out the nonconformities accordingly.
The EHS and Social Responsibility Teams use external audit firms to conduct EHS audits. Our registrar, Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), conducts annual third-party audits of select sites to evaluate compliance with our EHS
certifications. Larger offices and R&D sites conduct annual self-assessments and are audited by a third party approximately every five years.
In 2025, NXP successfully completed all the required surveillance measures at four sites and our corporate headquarters, in accordance with the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards and achieved recertification status. LRQA audited a sampling of compliance and management systems at
all selected sites. A formal report was issued and corrective actions are tracked until LRQA indicates that they have been satisfactorily closed. Currently, all our manufacturing sites as well as our headquarters are certified to both ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
18 NXP 2025 Corporate Sustainability Report
All NXP manufacturing sites conduct internal environmental and health and safety risk assessments continually.
Recertified our EHS management system to ISO14001 and ISO45001
We take Notices of Violations (NOVs) seriously. We work quickly to identify corrective actions and take steps to minimize the chance of recurrence. In 2025, we received feedback
on our compliance from external agency inspections and received six NOVs for minor infractions. Four NOVs were a result of reporting errors. Two NOVs were a result of technical-design and process-safety updates. We worked closely with external agencies to address any findings, and all NOVs are either closed or pending closure by authorities. No NOVs resulted in a fine to NXP. We continue to partner with the local regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with all EHS requirements.
As part of our membership in the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), each of our eight manufacturing sites completes an RBA Self-Assessment that covers EHS management systems and other topics. In 2025, our sites
in Thailand and Malaysia underwent RBA VAP audits. There were no significant EHS-related findings from either audit, but they did recommend strengthening some procedural areas.
Training
We offer company-wide training to ensure our global workforce is equipped with
the skills and knowledge to perform their functions safely and without harming the environment. This includes job- and site-specific training that includes the prevention of stormwater pollution, management of hazardous waste and wastewater, handling
of chemicals, chemical management and safety, emergency response, ergonomics, shipping of hazardous materials and other topics related to the EHS. For example, waste technicians and other team members
who work with waste are trained on waste reduction and sorting methods in addition to a specialized hazardous-waste class. Training and awareness include engaging our team members in incident investigations to identify potential improvements and assist in the implementation and ongoing improvement of management systems. In 2025, we also launched mandatory company-wide sustainability training.
Metrics
We continuously monitor and evaluate our EHS performance using quantitative data, which we report annually in this report. This chapter covers key metrics on greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, energy, water, waste, health and safety, with additional data provided in the Data Tables: EHS Datasubsection of this report. Information about our aspirations, targets and goals is outlined in the Approach to Sustainability sub-section of this report. Our data-management systems track and calculate our EHS performance at each manufacturing site to ensure accuracy and consistency. For our environmental
data, we may use estimations where actual data is not available based on our internal processes and procedures. For information on data assurance, please see the Climate subsection of this report.

Approach
We take a comprehensive approach to managing greenhouse-gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, integrating reduction targets into operational planning and strategy.
Our Scope 1 and 2 emissions stem primarily from direct manufacturing operations and purchased electricity, while Scope 3 - representing the majority of NXP's footprint - includes upstream and downstream activities such as purchased goods, capital equipment and the use of sold products.
While we remain focused on decarbonizing Scope 1 and 2 emissions and meeting our carbon-neutrality ambition, we are also working to reduce our Scope 3 footprint in line with our target validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
Emission reporting
We measure our carbon footprint in accordance with the GHG Protocol and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2019 Refinement to the 2006 Guidelines. We calculate Scope 1 and 2 emissions using actual data wherever possible. For Scope 1, this includes, in order of preference, supplier website reporting, meter readings, supplier invoices and start and end inventory logs. When data is missing, a controlled and documented estimation method is used. Emission factors for both scopes are fully documented and come from recognized international sources and are updated annually utilizing review and approval processes.
Scope 2 location-based emissions use, in order of preference, supplier website reporting, meter readings and invoices,
with estimates only when information is incomplete. Country level grid averages are applied and reviewed yearly. Scope 2 market-based emissions use supplier-specific data and qualifying contractual instruments, with residual mix factors
applied when contracts are not available. Assumptions relate
to contract validity, coverage and annual factor updates. We claim the use of renewable electricity at four of our locations in Nijmegen, Bangkok, Tianjin and Kuala Lumpur. These claims are supported by Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) sourced from hydro, biomass and biogas generation technologies.
Scope 3 emissions are calculated using spend, activity-based data and modeled estimates when needed. Emission factors come from recognized category-specific databases, with assumptions focused on the use of spend based inputs and the need for modeled values where used.
Scope 1 and 2 methodology details
NXP applies the IPCC methodology to calculate emissions from HTFs, PFCs and N2O. Scope 1 emission factors for fossil fuel combustion are sourced from the IPCC Guidelines, using country-specific factors for natural gas and town gas. To calculate the emissions from PFCs, NXP uses the 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Volume 3, Chapter 6. GWP100 values are taken from IPCC AR6 to calculate PFC CO2e
emissions. Where possible we use the same approach for HTFs. In some situations, we need to fall back to older Assessment Report (AR) versions or supplier information. The country specific factors for natural gas and town gas include sources drawn from recognized regional and national datasets, including the US International Energy Agency (IEA) database, the National Environment Agency (NEA) of Singapore and the International Energy Agency (IEA).
For Scope 2 emissions, NXP applies both location-based and market-based calculation methods. Market-based emissions are calculated using supplier-specific emission factors whenever available. For electricity from unknown or non-contracted sources, the relevant residual-mix factor is applied. In countries where the residual-mix is not available we make

use of the location-based emission factor as a replacement. Emission factors are drawn from recognized regional and national datasets, including the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB), US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) eGRID database and electricity production factors published by the IEA.
In 2025, NXP continued the deployment of abatement systems across its manufacturing sites. These systems are designed to treat and destroy GHGs prior to release, thereby reducing the overall climate impact of our operations. We apply the IPCC 2019 Tier 2c methodology, which provides default destruction efficiencies for GHG abatement technologies used to reduce emissions. Reductions in GHG CO2e attributable to abatement are calculated using established modeling approaches that may incorporate reasonable estimates based on the IPCC methods and on the process model.
Our climate data is collected and managed in line with our internal procedures and controls. In early 2026, NXP obtained external limited assurance over its 2025 Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse-gas emissions data, reinforcing the credibility and transparency of our climate reporting.
