Wellbeing

At ASM, we know that wellbeing powers performance. People do their best work when they feel valued, healthy and supported, and that’s the kind of environment we strive to create every day.

Across our global locations, we offer a wide mix of wellbeing initiatives shaped to local needs.

We take a holistic view, supporting both mental and physical health. This includes stress management resources such as Employee Assistance Programs, wellness workshops and relaxation sessions. We also offer fitness reimbursement to support a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Family life is supported too, with parental leave for primary and non-primary caregivers, onsite lactation facilities for new mothers, and in some locations, paid family or care leave to care for close relatives with health conditions.

Wellbeing plays a vital role in how we support excellence across ASM. We’re always exploring how we can go further, adapting and evolving what we offer to meet the needs of a diverse, ambitious and inclusive team. Keeping people energized and ready to shape what’s next.

Sustainability

At ASM, we challenge ourselves to enrich people’s lives and reduce our environmental footprint – in our operations, products, and across our value chain. We are aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, already sourcing 100% renewable electricity since 2024. We prioritize eco-efficient engineering, responsible sourcing, and minimizing material waste by refurbishing and reusing wherever possible.

Together with our customers, suppliers, and partners, we champion safer workplaces, community engagement, and industry-wide progress. As founding members of the Semiconductor Climate Consortium and supporters of initiatives like Catalyze and SCORE, we help drive collective action for a more sustainable future. We track our impact and openly share our progress as we advance towards our goals.
