Responsible Supply Chain

The semiconductor industry relies on a global network of suppliers for manufacturing equipment, materials and chemicals. As a fabless semiconductor company, Marvell partners closely with third-party suppliers to maintain a resilient and responsible supply chain.

Responsible Supply Chain
The semiconductor industry has a dispersed and highly technical supply chain, and we take proactive measures to safeguard our business against disruptions and maximize our business opportunities. We focus on human and labor rights, climate action and water use in the supply chain.

Our Policies and Engagement

 

Our Supplier Code of Conduct establishes the standards we expect our suppliers to uphold. We are a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) nonprofit, the world’s largest industry coalition dedicated to supporting responsible supply chains. We view our supplier relationships as partnerships, emphasizing open communication, collaboration and capacity building.

Human and Labor Rights in the Supply Chain

Human and Labor Rights

 

Protecting human and labor rights within our operations and supply chain is fundamental to our business. We adhere to rigorous standards, policies, and practices, including due diligence, stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanisms. We communicate our policies and expectations and engage in dialogue to foster continuous improvement, including the Marvell Supplier Code of Conduct, Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy and the Marvell Global Human Rights Policy.

Driving Climate Action

The semiconductor manufacturing process is an energy-intensive stage of the product life cycle. At Marvell, emissions from our direct manufacturing suppliers, such as foundries and outsourced product assembly and testing, account for over 98% of our upstream GHG emissions. By collaborating with our suppliers on GHG emissions reduction, we aim to enhance climate resilience and drive decarbonization across the entire value chain, benefiting both our suppliers and customers.

Driving Climate Action

Water Use

 

The semiconductor industry relies heavily on water, consuming billions of gallons annually. To use water responsibly in our supply chain, we have integrated water-related criteria into our supplier requirements, aligned with the RBA Code of Conduct, and we take a context-based approach that considers the geographic location of water use and local
water conditions.
