Signal Integrity & Metallization
Signal integrity and additive manufacturing, particularly metallization, are hot topics in PCB design and fabrication. PCB layouts are carefully engineered to achieve specific electrical and power performance targets.
Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Scanfil Releases Second Sustainability Report: 2025 Progress and 2026 Ambitions
April 14, 2026 | ScanfilEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Scanfil has published its second sustainability report for 2025 in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This report showcases our ongoing progress and unwavering commitment across key areas, such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, increased use of renewable energy, improved occupational health and safety, and responsible supplier practices.
This year’s report marks a transition from defining baselines to focusing on greater data accuracy and improved governance in our sustainability work. Notable initiatives include conducting climate scenario analyses, exceeding environmental targets, and refining data collection methods.
Material Topics Steering Sustainability
Scanfil’s sustainability strategy is shaped by a double materiality assessment, which focuses on five core topics: Climate Change, Circular Economy, Own Workforce, Workers in the Value Chain, and Business Conduct. These areas encompass climate action, waste management, employee development, health and safety, gender equality, anti-corruption measures, cybersecurity, and supplier relations.
Scanfil’s Key Sustainability Actions and Targets
The 2025 report highlights several key actions and targets:
- Reducing GHG emissions with short-term, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals
- Expanding the use of renewable energy at our facilities, already reaching 60% coverage
- Enhancing and tracking employee satisfaction, with special attention to working conditions and core values
- Improving health and safety practices and lowering workplace accident rates
- Implementing requirements for key and preferred suppliers and monitoring their performance via EcoVadis
- Boosting overall sustainability performance—in 2025, Scanfil was awarded an EcoVadis Gold medal
Looking Ahead: 2026
Scanfil will re-validate its SBTi targets for 2030 to incorporate new acquisitions and set long-term goals for 2050. The company aims to further enhance GHG reporting, promote employee satisfaction and gender equality (targeting 35% women in senior management roles), and deepen supplier engagement.
