Mixed.

MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation shows mixed environmental performance. The company achieved a 51% reduction in GHG emissions from its 2018 baseline by 2024, decreasing from 168,591 tCO₂e to 82,292 tCO₂e, exceeding Korean government targets. It also maintained an 82.1% waste recycling rate in 2024, surpassing the national goal. However, water withdrawal increased from 1,846,369 m³ in 2023 to 2,037,433 m³ in 2024. While aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050, critics point to a lack of SBTi-validated targets and transparency on renewable energy use. Information on fair pay, ethical sourcing, and community impact remains largely undisclosed.
