Fairchild Semiconductor announced that it has recently became a member of the Alliance to Save Energy. The Alliance states that it promotes energy efficiency worldwide to achieve a healthier economy, a cleaner environment and greater energy security.

"Energy efficiency initiatives and regulations are key drivers to address the need for conservation of energy and the development of alternative energy," said Mark Thompson, Fairchild’s President and CEO. "By nature, our products optimize system power thereby helping our customers and end-product consumers reduce energy consumption and reduce their global environmental footprint. As a member of the Alliance, Fairchild will work together with other member companies and nonprofit organizations to promote and invest in energy efficiency as a primary means of achieving environmental goals."

"Today more than 150 corporations, trade associations, public interest groups, research organizations and others work together in strategic partnership with the Alliance to assure that energy efficiency is used effectively in the U.S. and abroad to help meet the anticipated, phenomenal growth in demand for energy," said Alliance President Kateri Callahan. "Associates are afforded important access to comprehensive briefings featuring key decision-makers from Congress, the Administration, and the private sector; timely reports on governmental action and policies impacting energy efficiency products, services and markets; and networking and professional development opportunities.".

Among the other members of the Alliance To Save Energy are 3M, Cree, Dow Chemical, IBM, Philips Lighting Co., and Whirlpool Corp..
