At ASM, we are committed to building meaningful connections and creating a positive impact in the communities where we operate. Through partnerships, donations, and employee volunteering, we focus on advancing STEM education, accelerating environmental sustainability, and supporting underprivileged communities across the globe.
"ASM’s community engagement initiatives illustrate our dedication to creating shared value and making a meaningful impact."
Strengthening the communities where we live and work
In 2025, we focused our community initiatives on three strategic pillars aligned with ASM priorities for long-term sustainable growth that benefits society: promoting STEM education, accelerating environmental sustainability, and uplifting underprivileged local communities.
-
Showcasing our deposition tech expertise at the STEM Youth Carnival at the Wuzhen Science and Technology Museum. Booth materials were donated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University for continued educational outreach. Atom models were donated to the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Affiliated Primary School.
-
Together with Circuloco, we launched the ASM LOOPmakers Program, bringing circular thinking into classrooms. The program equips students to become circularity champions through creative and responsible thinking on design and innovation. We reached five schools in Almere, engaging 150+ students and training 22 teachers.
-
We extended our HRDF partnership on "Hwaseong into Technopole" to 2028, with a €44,000 donation. In 2025, 50 high-potential high-school and university Hwaseong students visited ASM global sites and key R&D institutes, where our leaders and engineers spoke on tech and career development in the semiconductor industry.
-
We contributed to the expansion of the “Tafelbos” forest in the vicinity of Leuven, with external partner Natuurpunt. By helping restore and expand natural habitats nearby, creating up to four hectares of new forest, we can actively balance ourfootprint with positive environmental action.
-
We partnered with the Washington County Parks Department to support improvements and long-term stewardship of local parks. Activities focused on trail maintenance for safety and accessibility. We also contributed an equipment trailer for the transport of tools and materials to the County’s volunteer program.

ASMers independently raised ~€6,700 through a hiking event, with 21 employees climbing Slieve Donard. ASM matched the amount. Funds were donated to the LauraLynn Children’s Hospice, Ireland's only children’s hospice providing free palliative care for children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
-
ASM supported two non‑profits serving low‑income families in Woodlands through a series of donation drives. We also matched employee contributions from a step challenge and charity art sale for Care Corner, and donated 100 back‑to‑school kits to the Woodlands Social Centre for children in need.
Sustainability
At ASM, we are committed to upholding high standards in sustainability, labor, and ethics practices.
