  “Very few companies in any industry have reached this achievement. I want to acknowledge the contributions of all Micron team members, past and present, as this milestone would not have been possible without their innovative ideas that ensure we stay on the cutting edge of technology,” said Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “Thanks to their hard work and tenacity, Micron is the world leader in memory and storage solutions.”

  Micron was founded with the belief that innovation and persistence would drive long term success. This unwavering focus on innovation led Micron to overcome performance barriers and bring better products to market faster than the competition, all while garnering patents on these revolutionary inventions. Micron’s 50,000 th patent caps what is widely recognized to be the most valuable memory and storage patent portfolio in the industry.

  “With global demand for memory and storage growing rapidly, Micron’s customers are counting on us to keep advancing the pace of innovation,” said Scott DeBoer, Micron’s executive vice president of technology and products. “That pioneering spirit is still very much alive and well at Micron, especially as we pursue the next 50,000 patents that will serve as a foundation for future technological breakthroughs.”

  As innovation continues to accelerate, so does Micron’s patent portfolio. In 2021, nearly 1,500 Micron team members contributed to almost 2,600 Micron patent grants – the most patents issued to Micron in a single year throughout the history of the company. This outstanding performance is due in part to Micron’s increasing focus on team member and inventor diversity. For example, the annual number of women who were inventors on Micron’s original patent applications was four times greater in 2021 than 2017, furthering the diversity of ideas being represented across Micron’s industry-leading advancements. 

• Micron Announces New Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets and Commits to Net-Zero Emissions From Its Operations by 2050 (May 24, 2022)

  Building on Micron’s sustainability efforts, the new target aims at 42% emissions reduction across the company’s global operations from 2020 levels by 2030

  BOISE, Idaho, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced new targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of the company’s overall sustainability strategy outlined in its annual sustainability report. The new commitments put Micron on a path to achieve net-zero emissions from its global operations (known as scope 1) and purchased energy use (known as scope 2) by 2050. These actions reinforce how Micron is taking meaningful steps to address the increasing threat of climate change.

  In addition to these new long-term commitments, Micron has also set new shorter-term, time-bound targets. By 2030, Micron aims to reduce scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions across its own operations by 42% against its 2020 baseline. Through this combination of shorter-term targets and long-term commitments, Micron seeks to align its goals to the objective of international agreements on climate change to limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees C.
