ON Semiconductor

ON Semiconductor is a Phoenix-based private corporation, which was established in 1999. Along with Freescale, ON Semiconductor is a spinoff of Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector. The company aims to drive energy efficient innovations in signal management, logic, discrete, and custom solutions. ON Semiconductor components are found in automotive, communication, computer, consumer, industrial, LED lighting, medical, and military goods.

As a corporate social responsibility intern at ON Semiconductor, it is my aim to enhance the company's triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit. Several of the projects that I am working on as a CSR intern have allowed me to better understand the economic, social, and environmental impact of business operations. Examples of certain projects include:
  1. The Global Reporting Initiative: a sustainability reporting framework developed by the nonprofit sector to help companies convey their economic, environmental, and social activities. 
  2. Corporate giving: a program that allows ON Semiconductor to increase its philanthropic role within the community through more directed donations. 
  3. Volunteer time off: a  corporate policy that allows employees to increasingly participate in the community by volunteering at organizations of their choosing with the support of ON Semiconductor. 
  4. EcoVadis: a corporate social responsibility assessment that evaluates the company's initiatives in regards to the environment, health and safety of workers, labor rights, and sustainable procurement. 
In addition to the aforementioned projects, I am also a member of ON Semiconductor's Employee Activity Committee, which organizes employee engagement activities as well as philanthropic activities such as volunteering, marathons, food drives, and giving.
