Environment & Governance

The rapid growth in energy consumption is making it imperative for designers of data-intensive technologies to meet demands for reduced power consumption. Empower was founded with the specific aim of addressing this fundamental challenge.

By significantly increasing power efficiency in applications ranging from data center servers to AI systems, our patented semiconductor technology provides critical reductions in global energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Adopting Empower IVR technology in high-end servers and storage devices, for example, can help to reduce data center energy consumption by between 10 and 30%. With information technology surging to 21% of global electricity demand and data centers to 7%, global adoption of our technology would save 285 TWh of annual electricity production. That, in turn, would deliver a reduction in CO₂ emissions of around 150 million tons.

What’s more, Empower’s technology eliminates the need for a large number of additional and sometimes bulky external components needed by traditional power management ICs (PMICs). Fewer materials and components, therefore, need to be mined and manufactured, while a reduced component count and smaller end product form factors translate into reduced carbon emissions from the logistics and supply chains serving OEMs and their customers.

Empower is committed to minimizing the environmental impact of its own operations. This focus on sustainability ranges from how we develop and manufacture our innovative technologies to the decisions we make in managing our global business.

Empower has a strong and experienced leadership team that has put in place internal control processes and audits to ensure the company operates to the very highest standards of corporate governance.
