Sustainable progress with ample potential

We are pleased to share the u-blox 2021 Sustainability Report with you and happy to report we've made progress across our Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) landscape. Some of the highlights over the year include:

91% of our modules are produced with renewable energy
Between 2019 and 2021 on average more than 90% of u-blox's module production has been made using renewable energy.

66% savings on energy and materials through miniaturization
We extended the number of chips produced on one wafer by a factor of 3. We deliver 3 times as many components with the same amount of silicon, precious metals, and energy, effectively saving 66%.

100% chipsets manufactured at locations committed to RBA practices
All our chipsets are manufactured in low risk countries at locations committed to the supplier code of conduct based on the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) practices.

94% of employees satisfied with our working conditions
Over 75% of employees participated in the 2021u-blox employee engagement survey. 94% of the respondents confirmed being satisfied with their overall working conditions and working environment and 92% confirmed being satisfied with u-blox as an employer.

100,000 of the world's most vulnerable people have clean water
u-blox and charity: water partnered in 2021 to leverage the power of IoT to bring clean drinking water to approximately 100,000 of the world's most vulnerable people.

60,480 tons of CO2 saved
For over a decade, u-blox has contributed through corporate giving, product donation, and employee volunteering to the ADES reforestation initiative in Madagascar. In the last 10 years, u-blox has saved 60,480 tons of CO2 through ADES projects and contributed to ADES's ability to provide environmental education to over 80,000 primary school children in Madagascar.

We look forward to keeping you informed about our continued ESG progress over the coming years. We know there is much more we can do as we navigate this journey of sustainability together.

Kind regards,

Thomas Seiler
Chief Executive Officer
