Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high
reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad
range of end markets, today announced that it has released its 2009
Sustainability Report, a voluntary document that addresses the
company’s commitment to operating under business practices which
help protect the needs of future generations and minimize its
environmental impact. The report also highlights improvements
Skyworks has made in multiple areas, ranging from environmental to
labor, health and safety, ethics, and business management
systems.
Since 2005, the initial reporting year, Skyworks has improved
energy efficiency by 26 percent, water efficiency by 44 percent,
and hazardous waste efficiency by 84 percent. Carbon dioxide
emissions per production unit have also decreased by 10 percent
from 2005 levels, with further efficiency improvements expected in
the coming years, particularly given the shift in 2009 away from
manufacturing processes that use the most greenhouse gases.
At a higher level, in 2009 more than 99 percent of Skyworks’
product sold was environmentally preferred, or products that meet
lead (Pb)-free and restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS)
standards, among a host of other global regulatory requirements. In
addition, the company’s sustainability programs continue to be
aligned with the multiple requirements of the Electronics Industry
Code of Conduct (EICC).
“Skyworks’ 2009 Sustainability Report demonstrates that smart,
sustainable business practices also make good business sense,” said
Bruce J. Freyman, Skyworks’ vice president of worldwide operations.
“While many of our customers require their supply chain partners to
maintain robust sustainability programs, Skyworks often exceeds
these requirements, even as we continue to grow our business. Our
goal is to ensure that we operate in a sustainable and successful
manner – respecting people and the environment.”

currency exchange rates; fluctuations in our manufacturing yields
due to our complex and specialized manufacturing processes; delays
or disruptions in production due to equipment maintenance, repairs
and/or upgrades; our reliance on several key customers for a large
percentage of our sales; fluctuations in the manufacturing yields
of our third party semiconductor foundries and other problems or
delays in the fabrication, assembly, testing or delivery of our
products; the availability and pricing of third party semiconductor
foundry, assembly and test capacity and raw materials; our ability
to timely and accurately predict market requirements and evolving
industry standards, and to identify opportunities in new markets;
uncertainties of litigation, including potential disputes over

development cycles that impact the timing of new product
introductions; unfavorable changes in product mix; the quality of
our products and any remediation costs; shorter than expected
product life cycles; problems or delays that we may face in
shifting our products to smaller geometry process technologies and
in achieving higher levels of design integration; and our ability
