As industries worldwide face the dual imperatives of innovation and sustainability, companies are grappling with how to address environmental challenges while advancing technological progress. Micron Technology, one of the largest companies fabricating memory and storage solutions, is a company striving to meet this challenge. Micron’s unique approach to achieving its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, championing sustainability, and integrating them into its operations is proof that environmental responsibility can complement technological innovation.

“Micron is continuously striving to improve and make a positive impact, mindful that our business, operations, and sourcing practices affect our team members, partners, customers, communities, and planet.”
Micron’s efforts are built on a framework that integrates sustainability with business strategy. In 2020, the company announced ambitious ESG goals to achieve significant environmental milestones, including net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

“Our sustainability goals are integrated into our broader strategy, ensuring that we are innovating responsibly and continuously measuring our impact.”
These goals encompass interim targets such as a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. This means monitoring and measuring emissions of greenhouse gases directly from Micron’s operations and indirectly from third party suppliers and other sources related to Micron and its operations. In addition, the company is also targeting achieving 100% renewable energy globally, and ensuring 100% water reuse and zero waste to landfill across operations.
Partnerships Driving Sustainability
Achieving impactful sustainability is no small feat. Micron recognizes this and acknowledges that it and it recognizes that achieving sustainability at scale requires collaboration. To this end, the company has formed strategic partnerships with governments, industry players, and startups to accelerate progress across its ESG priorities.
Government Collaborations
In Malaysia, Micron works closely with local authorities to integrate renewable energy into its operations. Through the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP), Micron partnered with Solarvest to develop solar farms, marking a significant step toward its renewable energy goals.
Additionally, Micron participates in initiatives like Malaysia’s Green Electricity Tariff (GET) program, which supports the country’s renewable energy transition. Micron’s collaboration and partnership with these bodies doesn’t just selfishly benefit the company, instead the company is making a larger impact by also contributing to national climate action strategies.
Perhaps one of the largest things to take back from these government collaboration is that sustainability cannot be a just a top-down endeavour from governments or municipalities, instead, it requires a huge amount of support from industries and even from grassroots. This also ensures that sustainability isn’t just a short term flash in the pan, but an ever improving, growing and self-sufficient process that will continue well into the future.
Startup Partnerships
It’s not just about collaborating with governments either. Micron readily collaborates with companies, non-governmental organisations and even start ups. In Amarjit Sandhu’s own words, “Micron is not the expert when it comes to [sustainability]. So, we have to collaborate with the experts and let them determine how we can create lasting impact”.
Micron’s collaborations collaboration aren’t just beneficial when it comes to sustainability, in fact, some efforts even benefit its own operations. Take for example, Micron’s collaboration with Aqua Membranes. This partnership with an innovative start up has yielded dual benefits of sustainability and efficiency. By adopting Aqua Membranes’ printed spacer technology for reverse osmosis systems, Micron has achieved a 20% reduction in energy consumption during water treatment. These partnerships are part of Micron Ventures, an initiative designed to support early-stage companies focused on breakthrough technologies.

“Startups bring fresh perspectives and specialized expertise. Collaborating with them helps us accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions that align with our sustainability goals.”
Micron is also a member of global industry consortia that aims to standardize and advance sustainable practices. These alliances provide a platform for sharing best practices, setting benchmarks, and fostering innovation. For example, Micron participates in initiatives to promote a circular economy within the semiconductor industry, encouraging resource efficiency and waste minimization.
Measuring Impact: Transparency and Accountability
As a part of its ESG commitment, Micron has also made a commitment to transparency. In fact, it is a cornerstone of its sustainability strategy. The company has developed a comprehensive framework for tracking, reporting, and communicating its progress toward ESG goals. This approach involves a combination of internal assessments, third-party audits, and public reporting to ensure accountability at every step.
Reporting Frameworks
Micron aligns its reporting with internationally recognized standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). These frameworks provide a structured way to disclose performance data across key environmental, social, and governance metrics.
“By adhering to global reporting standards, we ensure consistency and comparability in how we share our progress, allowing stakeholders to assess our performance objectively,” Sandhu notes.
The company also aligns its initiatives with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on areas such as climate action, clean water, and decent work. Each of these alignments reinforces Micron’s broader role in addressing global challenges.
Data-Driven Insights
Being a technology and engineering company, data is also playing a huge part in the company’s efforts. Micron leverages advanced data analytics to track key performance indicators (KPIs) across its operations. These KPIs include:
Emission intensity per unit of production.
Water withdrawal, reuse, and recycling rates across facilities.
Waste diversion metrics, including tons of materials recycled or recovered.
This data is used to generate detailed annual sustainability reports, which are publicly accessible to ensure full transparency. Sandhu explains, “Our data-driven approach allows us to identify trends, evaluate the effectiveness of our initiatives, and adjust strategies as needed to stay on track.”
Third-Party Verification
To enhance credibility, Micron engages independent organizations to verify its environmental data and assess the integrity of its reporting. These third-party audits validate the company’s methodologies, ensuring that its claims are accurate and aligned with industry best practices.
Renewable Energy: Progress and Challenges
Renewable energy forms a cornerstone of Micron’s sustainability efforts. The company has made strides in regions like Malaysia, where it sources 100% renewable electricity through the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) program. Initiatives like this have reduced emissions significantly—equivalent to removing over 35,000 cars from the road annually.
Collaborations with renewable energy providers, such as Solarvest, ensure that Micron can scale these efforts across its operations. However, variability in renewable energy availability and infrastructure poses challenges that require ongoing investment and adaptation.
Addressing Water Scarcity
Water scarcity presents another significant challenge for industries, particularly in manufacturing. Micron is addressing this issue through innovative technologies aimed at achieving 100% water reuse, recycling, and restoration.
One promising development is its collaboration with Aqua Membranes. Early testing at the Boise facility showed a 20% reduction in energy consumption for reverse osmosis systems using Aqua Membranes’ printed spacer technology. While these initial results are encouraging, widespread implementation will depend on scalability and long-term viability.
In addition to this, the company has recently partnered with the Global Peace Foundation in Malaysia for its AquaConnect Project. This project aims to supply clean water for sanitation and consumption to remote Orang Asli villages. Micron is supporting this project with an RM1 million donation as it kicks off. The RM1 million will be used to create gravity-supported piping that will deliver clean water to the villages in the immediate community around Micron’s Tanjung Agas facility in Johor. Four villages located in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Tangkak, Johor, and Muar, Johor will be the focus of this effort.
Sandhu notes, “Innovations like these are part of our commitment to reducing environmental impact while ensuring operational efficiency.”
Waste Management: Moving Toward Circularity
Micron’s waste management goals include diverting 95% of waste from landfills by 2030. This involves implementing recycling and recovery processes as well as rethinking product design to extend lifecycle usability.
The development of modular memory products, such as the LPCAMM2, reflects a commitment to circular economy principles. By enabling component upgrades instead of replacements, Micron aims to reduce electronic waste while offering cost benefits to consumers.
The partnership with iFixit further illustrates this effort, providing repair kits for select products to encourage reuse. While these initiatives mark progress, achieving zero waste remains a significant undertaking requiring industry-wide collaboration.
Facilities as a Reflection of Sustainability Goals
Micron’s facilities exemplify its efforts to balance growth with sustainability. The company has integrated green building practices into several of its operations, achieving LEED Gold certifications for plants in Taiwan and Singapore and a LEED Platinum certification for its office in India.
Source: Facebook
“Our Batu Kawan facility is designed to meet growing technology demands while incorporating sustainability at its core. It’s a model for how we aim to expand responsibly.”
In Malaysia, the expansion of the Batu Kawan facility, a USD$1 billion investment, reflects Micron’s intent to scale operations while adhering to sustainability principles. However, balancing production demands with environmental goals requires ongoing innovation and vigilance.
Shaping the Future
Micron’s sustainability efforts are a work in progress, reflecting both the complexity of the challenges it faces and the company’s commitment to addressing them. By focusing on transparency, measurable impact, and collaboration, Micron is setting a standard for integrating environmental responsibility into industrial innovation.
Amarjit Sandhu aptly encompasses Micron’s ethos when it comes to sustainability in this statement, “Our focus is on building a future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand, ensuring that our progress benefits both people and the planet.” Perhaps more importantly, this ethos might be the difference between treating ESG goals and SDGs as a check box rather than an effort to drive mutually beneficial innovations that benefit more than just the bottom line.

It’s vital that we look after the planet for future generations, but that’s not the only reason to implement a sustainability strategy within your organisation. Cutting emissions, embracing the circular economy, and helping to keep already efficient devices running for longer makes sense from a financial point of view as well, and can even help your organisation attract the best employees.
Of course, putting people and the planet first should top your considerations, and an effective sustainability strategy can help limit our impact on climate change, reducing waste, conserving resources, and protecting delicate ecosystems.
How legislation is helping to drive change
Legislation around ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and sustainability is beginning to shape industries in Malaysia, with governments adopting increasingly rigorous targets.
According to Deloitte[1], the transition to a lower carbon and more sustainable society is reshaping the economy, creating new opportunities, and altering the cost of doing business. The implications are stark, the organisation explains. “Failing to become more sustainable will make companies vulnerable to the loss of revenue and reputation, as well as to litigation and regulatory penalties.”
It’s clear that simply ignoring sustainability is not an option for organisations in the long run, but there are also opportunities and benefits for businesses that implement a sustainability strategy sooner rather than later.
An effective sustainability strategy could also help you be more cost-effective
For starters, there’s potential to be more cost-effective. Scalable “as-a-service” solutions such as Lenovo TruScale can help your business simplify the procurement, deployment and management of reliable IT equipment, taking a flexible and cost-efficient approach to new levels of demand.
Embracing the latest energy-efficient devices can help your business manage CO2 emissions and power consumption, potentially saving on operating costs, while also helping you to tackle challenges such as growing your business, simplifying security, and general maintenance. An example is Lenovo’s ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 operating on Windows 11 Pro. Seize the moment with the security to thrive anywhere and the performance to meet your boldest goals. Windows 11 Pro devices are easy to use and manage, with AI-enhanced efficiency and compatibility with existing technology including mission-critical apps and hardware.
There’s also scope to offset emissions when you do purchase new IT equipment, thanks to solutions such as Lenovo’s CO2 Offset Services. This service estimates the carbon emissions across the average lifecycle of the device from manufacturing to shipping, typical use, and end-of-life, and supports a variety of climate action projects.
Just because you buy new devices doesn’t necessarily mean your old equipment will end up in landfill. We do everything we can at Lenovo to ensure older devices get a second lease of life, and our Asset Recovery Service (ARS) is designed to maximise the reuse, recycling, and/or environmental disposal of replaced and end-of-life products, parts, and waste. And with Lenovo’s recently launched Certified Refurbished PCs, you have the option to buy quality refurbished IT equipment and support the circular economy.
Keep older energy-efficient technology running for longer
Naturally, there are plenty of organisations that don’t need to overhaul their tech stack. If your equipment is already energy efficient and performs well, your tech provider can also help you to keep your devices running for longer, doing your bit when it comes to reducing waste and conserving resources.
Solutions such as Lenovo Premier Support Plus come with Accidental Damage Protection (ADP)[2] as standard, which can make a big difference when it comes to device longevity and saving money. Compared to the cost of most common repairs or system replacements, for example, you could save between 50%-93%[3] with ADP, which could be the difference between keeping an old laptop for another couple of years or having to replace it immediately.
Attracting top talent
Social and regulatory requirements aside, embracing sustainability can also enhance your company’s reputation. This can play a key role in helping you to attract and retain the best talent.
According to a survey from IBM[4], 71% of employees and employment seekers say that environmentally sustainable companies are more attractive employers. More than two-thirds of the full potential workforce[5] are more likely to apply for and accept jobs with environmentally and socially responsible organisations, and nearly half surveyed would accept a lower salary to work for such organisations.
The potential to grow your business
An effective sustainability strategy isn’t just appealing to potential employees – it’s becoming increasingly important to society at large. Consumers also care about sustainability, and your strategy could be the difference between customers picking your business or opting for a competitor.
Deloitte explains[6] that a third (34%) of consumers stated their trust in brands would be improved if the brand was recognised as an ethical/sustainable provider by an independent third party. A similar proportion (32%) claimed that their trust in brands would be improved if the company had a transparent, accountable, and socially and environmentally responsible supply chain.
All of these factors add weight to the already critical importance of a sustainability strategy, not only because it makes sense to limit our impact on the planet, but because it also makes justifiable business sense.
It’s inevitable that you’ll need to embrace sustainability at some point if you want your business to thrive in the long term, so why not look at ways you can get ahead of your competition as part of the journey?
[2] Dependent on market, parts, and hardware availability.

With just six years remaining to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, the Asia Pacific region faces a pressing and formidable challenge.
The recently released 2030 Asia Pacific SDG Progress Report by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) paints a stark picture, revealing that at the midpoint, the region has made less than 15% of the necessary progress towards the SDGs. The report also predicts that if current trends persist, it will take an estimated 42 years for the region to achieve the 2030 agenda, falling significantly short of reaching 90% of the 118 measurable SDG targets.
This sobering analysis underscores the urgent need to multiply efforts and accelerate progress. To address this challenge, corporates in the Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ) region must adopt an innovation mindset and place sustainability at the forefront of the business agenda. In fact, sustainability can also be a powerful driver of innovation, propelling companies forward on the path to success in today’s digital era.
Sustainable innovation is not limited to short-term gains but creates long-term value for both businesses and the planet. The Dell Technologies Innovation Index, which polled 6,600 business leaders across 45+ countries, reveals that more than one-third of companies (35%) in Malaysia – the same percentage as the APJ region – consider climate change as an accelerator of innovation.
Additionally, the research shows that momentum for sustainability innovation is steadily growing in our region. Half of the companies (50%) in Malaysia are actively reducing their overall IT carbon footprint, recognising the critical role of technology in addressing environmental challenges. Furthermore, 37% of businesses in Malaysia (40% in APJ) are turning to technology to gain greater visibility into their carbon impact, enabling them to make data-driven decisions for sustainability.
This emphasis on sustainability is also being prioritised by the Government, having – for the first time – set SDG indicator targets and finalised nine accelerator initiatives to achieve SDGs in the country. This is to ensure a more effective implementation of SDGs towards the country’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030).
Innovating for sustainability, sustainably
In today’s economic climate, innovation has never been more important for organisations to stay ahead of the curve and build resilience. While sustainability evidently drives innovation forward, businesses also have a responsibility to ensure that innovation is carried out efficiently and with minimal environmental impact.
For one, IT decision-makers (ITDMs) in APJ can leverage innovative technologies such as edge computing, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and as-a-service (aaS) models to manage energy consumption effectively, improve energy efficiency, and act upon data insights to drive sustainability. Encouragingly, the Dell Technologies Innovation Index also found that more than half (57%) of companies in Malaysia are already progressing in this space, embracing technology as a powerful tool for sustainable practices.
For example, innovative consumption models such as aaS or on-demand solutions promote sustainable resource utilisation by aligning technology consumption with actual needs – therefore reducing waste and optimising resource allocation. Businesses that embrace these flexible consumption models can not only reduce their environmental impact but also benefit from increased efficiency and cost savings.
Additionally, as digital transformation and the consumption of technology become more widespread, the greening of data centres has become crucial. As businesses rely more heavily on data centres, optimising their energy consumption becomes paramount. Currently, 48% of businesses in Malaysia are actively exploring methods to reduce energy use in their data centres.
[i]By investing in energy-efficient infrastructure and adopting best practices, organisations can lead the way in sustainable data management, setting a positive example for the industry.
While technology can help drive efficiencies, there comes a day when these devices eventually reach their end of life. It is therefore equally critical that businesses take active steps and work with the right partners to retire and recycle their end-of-life IT equipment, in order to minimise electronic waste and foster a circular economy. Dell Technologies’ Asset Recovery Services, for example, helps businesses with the proper disposal and recycling of IT assets to reduce the environmental footprint of the technology industry. Notably, the practice is not new in Malaysia and many are already engaged in initiatives to retire and recycle IT equipment responsibly.
It is also encouraging to note that the government has launched a National Circular Economy Council (NCEC) to unite stakeholders to accelerate the transition of waste management from a linear economy to a more holistically circular one.[ii]The NCEC will focus on matters related to policies, laws, implementation of related strategies and action plans, and the commitment and collaboration between the government and the private sectors.
Sustainable innovation: A win-win for businesses and the planet
The benefits of sustainable innovation are two-fold, generating value for both our environment and the bottom line. By integrating sustainability into their innovation agenda, companies can reduce environmental impact, enhance resilience, and improve operational efficiency. Furthermore, embracing sustainable practices has become a critical consideration for businesses to not only attract customers and investors but also to engage current and future employees.
As the Asia Pacific region continues its pursuit of the SDGs, collaboration and collective action are essential. While sustainable innovation can and should be driven at the company level, governments, businesses and individuals must also come together to drive meaningful impact. Partnerships between the public and private sectors can facilitate knowledge sharing, resource mobilisation, and the development of innovative solutions to address pressing sustainability challenges. Cross-industry collaborations can foster innovation and create synergies that accelerate progress towards the SDGs.
With less than a decade to go, our region now stands at a critical juncture – where sustainable innovation can lead the way towards achieving the UN SDGs by 2030. Despite the challenges highlighted in the 2030 Asia Pacific SDG Progress Report, the growing momentum for sustainability innovation is encouraging. Businesses in APJ should continue to embrace sustainable practices and leverage cutting-edge technologies to make significant contributions to sustainable development.

Acer partners with Plastic Bank for an Impact Program Partnership to collect 50 tons of ocean-bound plastic[1] in 2024 through its community of collectors in Southeast Asia
Through this effort, Acer and Plastic Bank will prevent the equivalent of 2.5 million plastic bottles[2] from entering the ocean, tackling the problem of plastic pollution at the source
The partnership also provides support to under-developed communities by allowing residents to collect plastic and trade it for income, goods, and services to support their livelihood
TAIPEI, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Echoing this year’s Earth Day theme of “Planet vs Plastics”, Acer has partnered with Plastic Bank and has pledged to collect and recycle at least 50 tons of plastic waste from the environment in 2024. The Canada-based social enterprise focuses on tackling the growing issues of plastic pollution by building recycling ecosystems and creating livelihood opportunities in vulnerable coastal areas.
Acer’s Impact Program Partnership with Plastic Bank is projected to prevent the equivalent of more than 2.5 million plastic bottles[2] from entering the oceans through the efforts of collection members in Southeast Asia. Members bring their collected plastic to Plastic Bank collection branches in exchange for the local market price of the gathered material as well as bonuses that help provide additional income and access to social benefits, like meal vouchers, health insurance, and more.
Acer’s collaboration with Plastic Bank supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including SDG 1 for no poverty, SDG 8 for decent work and economic growth, SDG 12 for responsible consumption and production, SDG 14 for life below water, and SDG 17 for partnership for the goals.
Acer’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals also include adapting 20-30% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic content in computers and displays by 2025 and working towards the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Acer has been making strides to incorporate PCR versions of the plastic types used in electronic consumer products with its eco-conscious Vero line, and has reinforced its commitment to carbon neutrality with the launch of its first carbon-neutral PC, the Acer Aspire Vero 16, which debuted in December 2023. Acer will continue to evolve with the industry and changing lifestyles by promoting innovative and eco-conscious solutions for the long-term sustainability of its operations and the environment.

Those of us in the manufacturing industry have already come to terms with a difficult truth: manufacturing output is set to shrink by 3.2% this year. Stringent regulations and decreased consumer demand are proving very trying in a recessionary environment.
And many manufacturers still find themselves short-staffed. They are tasked with doing more with less. Upping output without the talent and financial resources they relied on in the past.
I see only one way forward: doing whatever we possibly can to create a streamlined working environment. Organizations that get hung up on what they don’t have will fall behind. Smart organizations think laterally. They understand that they have the means to effect change on their environments. And that seemingly small changes quickly add up.
Creating a streamlined, productive environment is the way forward. Increasing operational efficiency has never been as crucial as it is at this moment in time. Organizations that take action to create this kind of environment now will reap the rewards and come out stronger.
The three building blocks of an efficient environment
1. Making the most of your assets with IT and OT convergence
As a reminder, IT is Information Technology, tools that process data. OT is Operational Technology, tools for managing physical assets. IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) technology can bring IT and OT together. With IIoT tools like smart sensors, digital twins, and machine learning, physical assets come to life in the IT space. When leadership can see crucial data and insights on how machines are doing, they can ensure that they make the most of them. A great example of a product that can assist with making the most of your assets through IT convergence is the ThinkPad® X1 Carbon Gen 11, powered by Intel® Core™ i5-1335U processor (13th Gen), built for what IT needs and users want.
Utility consumption monitoring is a great example of the benefits of converged IT and OT. Electricity, water, and gas make up a significant part of any manufacturer’s budget. Sensors on the factory floor can detect when a process consumes more power than necessary. This data is then acted on in real time – and the process is automatically adjusted until it’s optimal. For example, temperature and water use can automatically be controlled to create an environment that supports efficient energy use. Where equipment needs to be warmer to operate, they can automatically be switched on when the time’s exactly right – eliminating the wastage that comes with guessing the wrong timing. Sensors that detect compressed-air leaks allows leadership to act before more energy goes to waste.
The cumulative savings tend to make a profound difference to utility bills. Even better: IIoT helps manufacturers get closer to their ESG goals and safeguard the environment.
2. Staying a step ahead with predictive maintenance
The technological advances in predictive maintenance are some of the most exciting I’ve seen in my career. Instead of waiting for machines to break down, we can now proactively prevent them from reaching a state of disrepair. There’s now no reason for manufacturers to be wrong-footed by ‘cranky’ or ‘moody’ machinery.
In order to reap the benefits of predictive maintenance, manufacturers need to have the right solutions in place. High-quality sensors, reliable and fast connectivity, and servers that can process asset data and allow it to be analyzed, fast.
Naturally, I’m a big advocate of Lenovo’s ThinkEdge servers, powered by Intel® and enabled by AI. These servers have the processing power required to make quick work of asset data. They are rugged and sturdy and can withstand extreme temperatures, dust, and vibration. My clients store these servers on the floor, close to where data is generated. This reduces latency between data collection and a resulting insight – allowing leadership to act fast when an AI alerts them of a potential issue or a worrisome trend.
3. Keep quality high with virtual inspection
In manufacturing, high-quality products are what we live for, and inspection is a crucial process for any manufacturer. More and more, I’m seeing manual quality assurance become a thing of the past.
Continuous, virtual inspection means that manufacturers can track every process, part, and final product. If a quality issue arises on the floor, IIoT technology means that a real-time notification will trigger necessary corrective actions for related processes or down-the-line tasks – including dynamically adjusting product runs.
This kind of intelligent inspection leads to time and money saved. Fixing potential issues before they lead to defective products is obviously much less costly than tossing out goods that are not up to standard. But it’s more than that: a smart factory floor with integrated IT and OT means that AI is continuously learning to improve and streamline processes. This allows manufacturers to create products they can be proud of, keeping their customer experiences high while boosting their productivity. It’s a win-win.
