During the five-year term of the new facility, KLA will receive pricing adjustments based on its performance against increasing the usage of renewable electricity within its operations and reducing Scope 1, and 2 CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, KLA announced a target to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esgtoday.com\/kla-targets-100-renewable-electricity-to-power-global-operations-by-2030\/\">100% renewable electricity<\/a> across its global operations by 2030, which would also help to set the company on a path to achieve a 46% reduction in combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, against a 2019 baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bren Higgins, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of KLA, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;This increased credit facility will provide KLA with additional financial flexibility to pursue its growth initiatives or capital returns strategies.
