GreenPeak Technologies is one of the leading fabless semiconductor companies that offer innovative ultra low power wireless data communication technologies for consumer electronics. The company recently announced its environmental management system has been awarded an ISO 14001:2004 certification from Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance.
From day one of its founding, GreenPeak's green vision was established as its technology enables the reduction or elimination of battery usage and energy efficient applications for sensor networks such as in homes and buildings. These sensor control networks will also be used to make people and companies more aware of energy consumption and the capability to manage and reduce it.
In a press release, Cees Links, CEO of GreenPeak Technologies, said, “GreenPeak is committed to a long term strategy aimed at increased environmental accountability. GreenPeak’s development is focused on the core of what it takes to make our world carbon neutral. The implementation of an environmental management system is therefore a valuable lesson of environmental management for a fabless and green semiconductor company.”
