TDK Corporation has announced that 100% of the electricity used in all manufacturing sites in TDK-Lambda Corporation is from renewable sources. Accordingly, the company has made this possible since January 2024.

Under the TDK Environmental Vision 2035, TDK-Lambda started using renewable energy from its electricity needs in July 2021. Specifically, at its Nagaoka Technical Center in Nagaoka City in Japan’s Niigata.

Since then, TDK-Lambda has been aiming to switch to renewable energy at all its global manufacturing sites as well.

Sustainable Manufacturing

Recently, TDK-Lambda’s two sites in Senai and Kuantan in Malaysia have signed contracts to purchase renewable energy electricity certificates in March 2024. All of TDK-Lambda’s global manufacturing sites have begun operating on electricity derived from 100% renewable energy sources.

TDK-Lambda Group will continue to develop compact and highly efficient switching power supplies that directly contribute to the stable supply and effective use of renewable energy. At the same time, while promoting the reduction of CO₂ emissions through effective use of energy in production activities. Hence, a sustainable society.

Moreover, the entire TDK Group will continue introducing renewable energy at its manufacturing sites worldwide. It will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by aiming to convert 100% of energy use to renewable energy by 2050.
