Sustainability Through Innovation
Advanced Energy is committed to minimizing our impact on the environment. We strive to reduce waste in our operations and conserve natural resources.
We enable sustainability through power conversion innovation. Every increase in power conversion efficiency reduces our customers’ power consumption and decreases their environmental impact and carbon emissions. By continuing to make our products and solutions more energy efficient, we help our customers reach their sustainability goal.

Designing Energy Efficient Products
Our dedicated R&D teams strive to improve power conversion efficiency, balanced with exceptional stability and nimble control and response. Every increase in power conversion efficiency reduces our customers’ power consumption and decreases their environmental impact and carbon emissions. Our products deliver industry-leading efficiencies up to 98%. Read more in our white paper.

Implementing Energy Efficient Operations
Advanced Energy makes continuous improvements to reduce our energy usage in our global factories. We track our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at key manufacturing sites* pursuant to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and report publicly through the CDP.
Our manufacturing sites have implemented various energy efficiency projects, including replacing the aged burn-in ovens with new burn-in ovens equipped with energy recycle e-loads as well as other innovative, efficient testing approaches.

Reducing Waste
Advanced Energy strives to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. We continue to optimize our systems and implement new initiatives focusing on:
Actively Managing Waste
Our factories actively manage and minimize both non-hazardous1 and hazardous waste. Through our efforts to reduce, re-use, recycle and repurpose/refurbish, we maximize our waste diversion rate. In 2023, our waste diversion rate was 93%.
Recycling / Reusing Materials
Our factory packaging team designs outgoing packaging that minimizes material use, utilizes recyclable resources and includes recyclable packaging labels per country requirements. We accommodate specific packaging requirements as requested by per customers
Conserving Water
We strive to reduce wastewater produced by our operations. We have implemented water treatment and
recycle wastewater at our key manufacturing sites
