Unlocking gigs with AI 

Gigs are short-term skill-development activities that offer numerous benefits for participants, hosts and ASML as a whole. They meet real business needs while enabling employees to gain valuable experience outside their teams, learn on the job and grow. Hosts benefit by developing leadership, coaching and project management skills.    

Why it matters

...for the planetWe believe microchip-enabled digital technologies are critical tools for societal advancement – but we also understand that technological development presents environmental and human rights challenges. The goods and services we purchase, design choices we make and products we sell are potentially linked to impacts on the environment and human rights.

...for ASMLWe are dedicated to preventing and mitigating adverse environmental and human rights impacts in our value chain. By committing and adhering to international environmental and human rights standards we work to meet stakeholder expectations, ensure compliance with regulations and build a resilient value chain.

Working with our suppliers    

We request that high-risk suppliers submit a Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Self-Assessment Questionnaire to validate their compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct and determine any potential gaps in relation to its standards. This contributes to identifying and assessing impacts, risks and opportunities across the supply chain. 

Why it matters

...for the planetBuilding a strong foundation that benefits our partners and other companies, organizations and neighboring communities. Through ESG-focused research, startups, scaleups, platforms and collaborations, we aim to support innovative ideas and increase the technical talent pool needed to solve some of society’s key challenges.

...for ASML

Consumers are using ever-more powerful devices, increasing demand for microchips and chipmaking systems that make them cheaper, more powerful and energy-efficient. Meeting this demand requires continuous technological advancement, in close collaboration with customers and suppliers. 

ASML Young Makers Award    

The ASML Young Makers Award celebrates ambitious students and young entrepreneurs who are considering launching their own ventures and are striving to grow them further. The award recognizes student teams that successfully integrate innovation and sustainability into both their product development and business operations.    

Why it matters

...for the planetOur activities have an impact that goes far beyond ASML. Many of our locations, particularly our headquarters, have experienced substantial growth in recent years – and, while this can generate jobs, foster innovation and increase prosperity, it also presents challenges, including added pressure on housing, infrastructure and essential public services.

...for ASMLWe believe being a valued partner to those around us is critical to our ability to scale effectively, and to deliver sustainable growth for our stakeholders. Many ASML employees live in the communities where we operate, and want to be proud of their company’s positive impact on their surroundings.

Supporting causes close to our employees' hearts

Through our global Employee Giving program, we encourage our employees to become involved in their local communities by donating their time, skills and resources to charitable and non-profit organizations.
 

In 2025, ASML contributed a total of €10.7 million in donations, volunteering hours and facilitation costs.     

Why it matters

...for the planetIntegrity, honesty and transparency about our economic, environmental and social impact guide our approach, influencing our decisions and performance information. We must build stronger relationships with stakeholders, support those more vulnerable, comply with data privacy regulations and encourage greater political engagement on ESG topics. 

...for ASMLWe aim to act on our responsibilities and anchor ESG sustainability across our business. Robust integrated governance policies and a continued commitment to responsible business conduct and risk management are essential. We aim to create a fair, transparent and inclusive culture where everyone can speak up.
