MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — KLA Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC), a leading equipment and services company for the semiconductor industry, today announced that its near-term targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), capping a two-year effort by KLA’s product teams who modeled and measured efficiency metrics to reach this point.

In collaboration with customers and suppliers, in 2022 KLA first announced its commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline. In addition, at that time the company announced a goal to use 100% renewable electricity across global operations by 2030. The company also began to model efficiency metrics and product roadmaps in order to set a goal for Scope 3 emissions reduction.

After applying these methodologies, the company committed to decreasing Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 52% per billion transistors inspected, measured or processed by customers operating KLA products at their manufacturing sites by 2030 from a 2021 baseline. SBTi has validated KLA’s near-term, science-based targets.

“Our intimate customer collaboration gives KLA unique insights into the challenges facing the industry, and this extends to how we think about measuring ourselves and our collective impact on the environment,” said Ahmad Khan, president, Semiconductor Process Control, Electronics, Packaging and Components, and KLA Instruments. “The SBTi acceptance of KLA’s proposed science-based targets is exciting for us, and we believe it also helps establish a clear benchmark for others in our industry so that we might accelerate our work toward reduced emissions and better performance.”

In parallel, KLA has released its annual Global Impact Report for 2023, which provides stakeholder groups with a more detailed look at the company’s overall performance against stated ESG goals over the last calendar year. In addition to a summary of the work supporting SBTi targets, the Global Impact Report includes updates on initiatives related to talent, corporate governance, community engagement and leadership. More information about KLA’s progress and continued commitments can be found at KLA.com.

“In much the same way we approach problem-solving with our customers, our Scope 3 goal is powered by the advances in technology to increase our efficiency, building on KLA’s 48-year heritage of offering leading solutions that can improve product yield and reduce waste across the semiconductor industry,” said John McLaughlin, global ESG leader, KLA. “With our near-term targets validated by SBTi, we have a clear metric to guide our sustainability journey, and we look forward to continuing to provide customers with solutions that help them meet their climate goals.”

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In early December, at the 18th Huaxia Institutional Investor Annual Conference of 2024, the 18th Golden Cicada Awards were announced. Waton Securities International was awarded the “Outstanding Digital Empowerment Financial Institution of 2024” for its significant achievements in securities brokerage and fin-tech sector.

The selection for the “Outstanding Digital Empowerment Financial Institution” focused on evaluating companies based on financial performance, market competitiveness, customer recognition, digital strategy planning and implementation, digital transformation outcomes, and risk control capabilities. Particularly, it highlighted cases that have made significant strides in digital empowerment.

The evaluation also emphasized the outstanding performance of financial institutions in their own digital transformation and the sound risk control abilities demonstrated during this process, ensuring that while pursuing innovation, companies can effectively manage and control risks. Waton Securities International distinguished itself among the contenders with its sophisticated technology platform, well-defined digital strategy, substantial transformation achievements, and commendable risk control mechanisms.

Established in Hong Kong in 1989, Waton Securities International has steadily grown with a deep understanding of professional financial services and regulatory compliance. It has obtained licenses 1/4/5/9 from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, becoming a fully licensed brokerage with comprehensive financial service qualifications. Through continuous technological innovation and digital transformation, it has successfully built a one-stop brokerage cloud service platform, promoting advanced digital financial technology globally. Its pioneering SaaS product, “Broker Cloud”, allows corporate clients to independently deploy and operate high-performance digital customer information management and trading systems without their own IT teams. The solution is relatively low-cost and adaptive to industry, which is the core competitiveness of Waton Securities International.

Data reveals that of the 1,100 securities firms in Hong Kong, approximately 600 are actively trading, yet fewer than 50 have developed their own mobile applications. On a global scale, among the 30,000 securities companies, only a handful—less than 300—feature brokerage trading Apps in App stores. This underscores a significant market demand for the digital enhancement of the securities sector.

With the swift growth of technologies like generative AI LLMs, blockchain, big data, and cloud computing, the securities industry can use these tools to streamline trading strategies, assess risks more accurately, and forecast market trends. These technologies also help the industry to move towards more integrated, platform-focused, and digital operations. The main goal of technology in finance is to increase the efficiency of financial institutions. A good starting point for applying technology is to focus on financial services and build a solid technical foundation for these institutions.
