"At ZMDI, sustainability is all about providing customers with
products that ease the demand for energy; i.e., power and fuel in
sensing, power management and lighting applications. To reach this
goal, ZMDI's product designers develop semiconductor products that
are used by our customers to design innovative energy-efficient
systems. Winning the Green Apple Award is a great honor as we work
to provide customers in automotive, consumer and industrial markets
with IC solutions that help fulfill their need to significantly
reduce the energy consumption in end applications," said Frantz
Saintellemy, President ZMD America, Inc. and Exec VP - Global Sales
and Marketing at ZMDI. "To reverse the trend toward increasing
world energy consumption and therefore increasing CO2
emissions, an extraordinary effort for energy reduction, including
a path to "green" energy generation, is needed. Indeed, energy
efficiency starts at the chip level."
The Green Apple Environment Awards were launched in 1994 by The
Green Organization and have become well established as one of the
most popular environmental campaigns in the world. The awards are
now in their eighteenth year and are well established as one of the
major environmental recognition campaigns, both in the UK and
internationally. The Green Apple Environment Awards recognize,
reward and promote environmental best practices around the
world.
In addition to enabling "active" energy savings by using special
technologies and design methodologies, ZMDI products also lead to
"passive" energy savings. An example of a "passive" energy saving
device is ZMDI's battery monitoring IC, which enables the
"stop-start" functionality in vehicles and therefore indirect
(passive) energy/fuel saving.
ZMDI's energy-saving technologies address almost all market
segments; e.g., automotive and transportation, lighting, industry
and infrastructure, and mobile consumer applications. Its power
management and sensor solutions enable customers to create the most
energy-efficient products in their markets.
