Environmental, Social and Governance Stewardship

We take our responsibility as an industry leader seriously. KLA's mission to advance humanity includes environmental, social and governance (ESG) stewardship programs that help create a more sustainable future.

By introducing programs to lower greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water and decrease waste streams, we’re working to reduce our climate impact. Currently, 52% of company-wide waste is diverted from landfills, and in 2021, we announced a goal to use 100% renewable electricity across our global operations by 2030. By making our customers’ processes more efficient, we also help reduce the use of raw materials, energy and water.

The KLA Foundation is committed to advancing humanity by investing in education with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), health and wellness, and community enrichment in communities where our employees live and work to help create a more equitable, inclusive and accessible world.

When KLA employees generously donate their time, talents and resources to help meet needs around the world, the KLA Foundation increases their impact. Through the Global Giving platform, employee donations to non-profits are matched dollar-for-dollar, and the Dollars for Doers program provides $10 to the non-profit of the employee’s choice for each hour of volunteer work performed. Employees are also invited to participate in various corporate-wide fundraising campaigns for disaster relief and social equity.

Respectful and Safe Working Environment

Employees are required to create and maintain a working environment that reflects KLA’s core values, as are described in the Introduction section.

Social Responsibility

At KLA Israel, we focus on improving lives in the neighborhoods where we live and work. We donate our time, talent and resources to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. We support local schools and after-school centers with science lectures and workshops, tutor and mentor students, host them in our office and teach them about our leading-edge equipment. KLA Israel provides sponsorships to universities to support cutting-edge research and funds scholarships for students, helping nurture future engineering talent.

Our employees volunteer to help various communities including students of all backgrounds and ages, youth organizations and young people, Holocaust survivors, lone soldiers and various charities. We also employ individuals with disabilities, thus supporting them with entering the workforce.

We support national charities including Leket Israel, the national food bank that rescues healthy, surplus food and delivers it to those in need. We provide daily food donations to charities local to our sites. Everyone is encouraged to volunteer with our community partners and many teams volunteer together on National Good Deeds Day, which takes place in Israel every year.

These programs include activities and events for all employees and for specific groups. For example, there are annual events for employees’ children who are starting first grade, celebrating transition from childhood to youth, or completing high school.
