IQE announces SBTi approval of emission reduction targets

 

·      Approved targets in alignment with the Science Based Targets
initiative

·      IQE on path to achieve Net Zero across operations by 2050

 

 

IQE plc (AIM:  IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), the leading global supplier of
compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material solutions, is
pleased to announce the Science Based Targets initiative ("SBTi") has approved
IQE's near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets.

The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in emissions reductions and Net
Zero targets in line with climate science. In June 2022 IQE announced its SBTi
participation and a formal commitment to achieving Net Zero across its
operations by 2050.

As part of this process, IQE was required to formulate science-based targets
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the SBTi Net Zero Standard,
which seeks to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The SBTi's Target Validation
Team has classified IQE's near and long-term targets as in line with this
ambition and has also verified IQE's mitigation pathways for reaching Net Zero
by 2050 or sooner.

Jutta Meier, Interim Chief Executive Officer of IQE, commented:

"I am proud IQE's Net Zero targets have been validated by the SBTi. We have
achieved the most ambitious designation available through the SBTi process, in
recognition of the importance of achieving rapid and deep global greenhouse
emissions cuts."
