The Power of an Open Mind

ASM thrives on leading-edge ideas and technologies – and it’s the talented, passionate people at our company who make those ideas and technologies possible. That’s why we believe in the Power of an Open Mind at ASM. We want to be home to those eager to be challenged and aim to cultivate an environment where ideas can grow, develop, and flourish.

Inclusion & Diversity

At ASM, inclusion and diversity are a top priority. The ASM family already includes more than 66 nationalities, and we aim to bring ever more diverse talent into our company. It is important to us that everyone at our company feels welcome, valued, and free to bring their whole self to work.

ConvERGe

ConvERGe is the umbrella name for our Employee Resource Groups. The name ConvERGe was chosen as it means 'moving together towards the same common point.' And that is exactly what we stand for at ASM, embracing a culture of inclusion and diversity. ConvERGe activities are centered around our core values:

We Care: designing and delivering information and training that will enable the I&D agenda and culture across ASM.
We Innovate: creating and launching innovative initiatives to inspire employees; diverse companies are proven to be more creative and successful.
We Deliver: defining clear I&D targets, creating accountability, and monitoring our progress toward them.

WIN

Women's Initiative Network (WIN) is our first operational ConvERGe group. It focuses on advancing and retaining our female talent and building a more inclusive culture in general. Both female and male colleagues are invited to be part of WIN, acting as allies and supporting each other throughout our journey.

WIN is also about forming a sustainable and supportive female community in ASM worldwide to create a workplace that enables all to succeed and one where we work together to recruit and develop female talents.

Sustainability

Every day we challenge ourselves to enrich the lives of everyone we engage with. We are committed to reaching our ambitious sustainability goals and initiatives – with a clear focus on governance, responsible value chain management, the green power of innovation, and working to improve people’s lives and positively impact the planet.

Our priorities include creating a safe and inspiring workplace, being a force for good in society, and aiming for Net Zero by 2035, an ambitious target.
