Providing Renewable Energy
Enabling Green Energy Design

Our rugged connectors help support vertical farming and agrivoltaics applications.

Learn More

Vertical farming is a new agricultural process where crops are grown on top of each other in a warehouse or greenhouse setting. Growing crops vertically conserves space versus traditional farming and allows crop production to happen anywhere. When crop production is combined with solar power, which is known as agrivoltaics, the environmental benefits are even greater. Our Amphenol LTW business has developed a broad series of waterproof circular connectors for harsh environments which are being used in vertical farming, agrivoltaics and other rugged applications to support these more efficient agricultural processes.

Sustainable 5G Infrastructure Story
Reducing our Carbon Footprint

Across Amphenol, we are installing solar panels to help reduce our energy use and costs.

Learn More

Our global facilities continue to support our emissions reduction goals through proactive and innovative actions that reduce their environmental footprint and conserve resources, while at the same time helping our facilities save on energy costs.

Throughout 2022, several Amphenol facilities installed on-site solar panels to increase their renewable electricity consumption and decrease their dependency on fossil fuels. During the extreme energy cost fluctuations seen in Europe during 2022, these installations helped provide a continuous and stable source of energy for these facilities. Combined, these installations have begun to produce almost 600 MWh of energy, with significant increases expected in 2023, which will be their first full year of operation. In addition, these successful solar installments have inspired other Amphenol facilities to consider increasing their renewable energy consumption, with more sites planning to commence or expand existing installations in 2023.

Energy Reduction in Action Story
Supporting our Communities

Recycling to help support children with cancer in our local neighborhoods.

Amphenol Advanced Sensors – Tijuana, Mexico
During 2022, we started a campaign called “Banco de Tapitas” at two of our facilities in Mexico to collect plastic bottle caps to raise funds for the Children’s Anticancer Alliance. The Alliance helps pay for chemotherapy treatment for children with cancer at a local hospital in Baja, California. Bottle caps were collected on-site in heart-shaped containers and sent to a recycling center to be processed. Since the start of Banco de Tapitas, the program has collected and recycled approximately 0.5 tons of plastic bottle caps and raised enough funds for the Children’s Anticancer Alliance to provide a child with pediatric cancer treatments in 2022.
