ESG Strategy
Three Pillars and Seven Commitments
To further strengthen the spirit of corporate sustainability, we have formulated an “ESG Policy” with
“Concern for the Planet, Respect for People, and Pursuit for Performance” as the three pillars, along
with seven commitments. We create positive value for employees, shareholders and all stakeholders, and
gradually implement the corporate vision of an excellent, high-tech Company with high benefits, high
quality, high productivity and an emphasis on innovative service. We also pursue customer, employee, and
shareholder satisfaction, and fulfill our social responsibility, thereby ensuring our sustainable
growth.
|
Concern for the Planet
|
We have established the Energy Conservation and
Carbon Reduction Management Committee to measure the impact of climate change with
the concept of Plant, People and Performance. The Company implements the concept of
complete pollution prevention in compliance with local regulations and implements
the action blueprint to actively seek and promote full-range environmental action in
the plants. Unimicron aims to be customers’ best partner and insists on providing
high quality and environmentally friendly products.

|
Respect for People
|
• Creating fair and diverse employment opportunities for all operation sites to
promote local economic growth. Unimicron raises the Company’s growth momentum
through various recruitment channels. We have established complete recruitment
standards and mechanisms to ensure that employees can develop their talents and
perform jobs they are apt for through appropriate tests and interviews. Unimicron
adheres to the principle of "taking from society and giving back to society," with
long-term investment, combining internal and external resources of the group, and
cooperating with stakeholders, to actively promote the three main social welfare
pillars of local participation, caring for the disadvantaged, and diversity and
equality. The Company hopes to exert positive social influence, drive continuous
progress in society, bring warmth to more people, and exert more positive influence.

Pursuit for Performance

• The Governance Aspect：Maintain
cooperative relations with the material and equipment suppliers around the world,
and have close cooperation with domestic and foreign research units and academia.
Develop products that meet market trends and customer needs; win customer
satisfaction and trust through R&D resources and high interaction with customers, to
ensure that products are in the leading position in the world.
• The Environmental Aspect：To
implement green procurement and manufacturing strategies to make our products comply
with non-hazardous substance regulations, and to improve the efficiency of energy
resources use, waste reuse rate, and wastewater treatment efficiency to reduce raw
material consumption and environmental emissions, thereby reducing operating costs
and environmental impact.
• The Social Aspect：Formulate labor
policies by the labor laws and regulations of the location of the operating base,
cooperate with global customers’ regulations and international standards, and
improve the management mechanisms for talent retention, training, and Occupational
Safety and Health (OSH) to build an equal, safe and stable employment and

The implementation of the SDGs
In response to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Unimicron has integrated the 17
SDGs into
our development strategy and operational activities including the value chain of product development,
raw material
procurement, manufacturing, and sales, as our long-term strategy for sustainable development.
Through the materiality analysis process, we link and rank major issues and SDGs, distinguish three
different levels
and identify the most relevant SDGs to Unimicron’s core operations to formulate sustainability
commitments and
goals. The highest level is those linked to the Company's core business and can meet the sustainability
goals of
SDGs through the formulation of management policies. The second is risk management, which aims to reduce
the
negative impact that the Company may have on global sustainable development in the course of its
operations.
Therefore, Unimicron has established a management and measurement mechanism to mitigate various
potential impacts.
Those SDGs that are not directly related to the Company's current development are defined as the lowest
level but
may evolve into Company-related sustainability issues in the future due to the development of the
international
situation, and therefore they will continue to be concerned. In response to the 6 SDGs, Unimicron
analyzed the SDGs
relevant to Our Three Pillar X Seven Commitments to the investment of the resource more effectively.
