Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Silicon Laboratories Inc. is a technology company that designs and manufactures semiconductors and software, not a financial institution.

The provided articles do not contain evidence of the company engaging in lending, insurance, or other financial services for consumers. Therefore, KPIs related to financial products, pricing, fees, lending, or customer financial data are not applicable to its core business. While the company supports STEM education for underrepresented groups and has an Employee Stock Purchase Program, these activities do not directly align with the specific definitions and quantitative thresholds of the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' KPIs, which are primarily designed for financial institutions.

Honest & Fair Business

Silicon Labs achieved an EcoVadis ESG assessment score of 83 out of 100 in 2024, placing it in the top 1% of companies.

The company has a formal Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, last updated in 2015, which outlines compliance with the FCPA, prohibits improper payments, requires accurate record-keeping, and establishes internal accounting controls. Annual training on Business Conduct Standards, including ethics and anti-bribery, is also conducted. A compliance hotline and confidential reporting channel (EthicsPoint) are available for ethics complaints, and an Ethics Committee within the Board of Directors and Audit Committee investigates these complaints. However, the effectiveness of this program is not publicly measured. The company conducts limited assurance audits of environmental metrics (waste, water, energy, GHG emissions) by independent third parties, and independent verification of water withdrawal, water discharge, and waste disposal data by Apex Companies, LLC, and GHG emissions by Apex Companies, LLC. The extent of independent verification for ethical claims beyond environmental data is not specified.

Kind to Animals

Silicon Laboratories Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company.

and the provided articles do not contain explicit information regarding animal welfare practices, animal testing, or animal-derived ingredients. There is no specific, measurable data on cruelty-free certifications, alternative testing methods, humane certifications for operations, or the substitution of animal-derived inputs. While the company mentions some biodiversity-related projects and activities, there are no measurable impacts on species recovery or habitat restoration metrics provided. The articles also lack details on animal testing policies, volumes, R&D investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, participation in animal-free collaboration initiatives, or specific engagement in animal welfare public policy. Therefore, no KPIs related to the 'Kind to Animals' value can be scored based on the available evidence.

No War, No Weapons

The company explicitly states it has no past, current, or anticipated direct or indirect contacts, including sales or agreements, with Syria or Sudan.

It also asserts that no dual-use products or components have been provided to these countries. The SEC raised concerns about potential violations of U.S. economic sanctions and export controls related to Syria and Sudan, and questioned the company's relationship with ZTE, a major customer that had been added to the Entity List and Unverified List by the Commerce Department. However, the company claims no reputational harm resulted from ZTE's issues.

Planet-Friendly Business

In 2024, Silicon Labs reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions (market-based) of 91,667 metric tons CO2e.

This represents a 14.89% reduction from 107,732 mtCO2e in 2022. The company sourced 7.680 GWh of renewable energy out of 15.072 GWh total energy consumed in 2024, which is 50.95%. For waste management, 119.870 metric tons were recycled/recovered, while 25.348 metric tons were landfilled and 2.198 metric tons were incinerated in 2024. The company reported zero environmental compliance violations in 2024. Silicon Labs reported that 78% of major suppliers are on track for engagement on science-based targets for Scope 3 emissions, and 100% of major suppliers completed SAQ surveys in 2024.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Silicon Labs has established 3-5 formal partnerships with local community groups, including organizations like Code2College, Girlstart, Latinitas, and the Nirmaan Organization, to expand STEM education and support socio-economically disadvantaged communities.

No cultural appropriation incidents have been reported in the provided articles. The company provides standard grievance mechanisms through an EthicsPoint hotline, General Counsel, and CEO, but the coverage percentage for community concerns is not specified. Its global coaching platform, GrowthSpace, offers support in over 200 languages, indicating strong local language support. All employees and Board of Directors are required to complete Harassment and Discrimination Prevention Training every two years, which is a standard diversity training without specific cultural sensitivity components.
