Our Take

Micron is a US technology company that manufactures and markets semiconductor devices, including DRAM, NAND flash memory, CMOS image sensors, other semiconductor components, and memory modules.
Micron has been working to improve its ESG profile in recent years and is now a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact and a member of the Carbon Disclosure Project and the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. Despite these efforts, Micron still faces some significant ESG risks.
Climate change is a top concern for Micron due to its emissions profile and reliance on fossil fuels for power generation. In 2018, approximately 73% of the company’s total energy use came from natural gas and coal. This is a relatively high carbon intensity for a semiconductor manufacturer and leaves Micron vulnerable to emissions regulation and the increasing price of fossil fuels.

What We Like

  • Micron Technology is a global leader in memory and storage solutions.

  • The company has a strong commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.

  • Micron Technology has a diversified customer base and product portfolio.

What We Don't Like

  • Micron Technology's stock is highly volatile.

  • The company has a history of losing money.
