Advanced Energy is committed to minimizing our impact on the environment. We enable sustainability through power conversion innovation.
Sustainability Through Innovation
Advanced Energy is committed to minimizing our impact on the environment. We strive to reduce waste in our operations and conserve natural resources.
We enable sustainability through power conversion innovation. Every increase in power conversion efficiency reduces our customers’ power consumption and decreases their environmental impact and carbon emissions. By continuing to make our products and solutions more energy efficient, we help our customers reach their sustainability goal
Inventing Energy Efficient Products
Our dedicated R&D teams strive to improve power conversion efficiency, balanced with exceptional stability and nimble control and response. Every increase in power conversion efficiency reduces our customers’ power consumption and decreases their environmental impact and carbon emissions. Our products deliver industry-leading efficiencies up to 98%. Read more in our white paper.

Implementing Energy Efficient Operations
Advanced Energy makes continuous improvements to reduce our energy usage in our global factories. We track our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at several key manufacturing sites* pursuant to The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and report publicly through CDP and various regulatory bodies. From 2014 to 2022, our factories in China and the Philippines reduced Scope 2 CO2 emissions by 23,941 metric tonnes, a 34.5% reduction from the base year.
Our Philippines factory is a three-time PEZA Hall of Fame Awardee for Outstanding Environmental Performance. By employing novel alternatives, the site reduces the need for thermal testing.

Reducing Waste
Advanced Energy strives to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. We continue to optimize our systems and implement new initiatives focusing on:
Actively Managing Waste
Our factories in Asia actively manage and minimize both non-hazardous1 and hazardous waste. Through our efforts to reduce, re-use, recycle and repurpose/refurbish, we maximize our waste diversion rate. In 2022, our waste diversion rate was 86%.
Recycling / Reusing Materials
Our factory packaging team provide recycle / reuse outgoing packaging design that minimizes packaging materials, uses recyclable resources available in the market and includes recyclable packaging labels per country requirement. We accommodate specific requirements per customer request. As a key supplier to Applied Materials, we are proud to support the company’s SuCCESS2030 recycling initiative aimed at creating a more sustainable supply chain.
Conserving Water
We strive to reduce wastewater produced by our operations. We implement water treatment programs in our factories in the Philippines and recycle wastewater in several factories in Asia.
