To achieve effective communication between the report and stakeholders and reflect the impact of the
operation process on the governance, environmental and social, Unimicron establishes a systematic
analysis framework based on six major steps and decides on the material issues, boundaries of data
collection, and stakeholders of the 2021 ESG Report. At the same time, it establishes a risk management
mechanism for major issues and builds operational resilience and sustainable value to meet the
expectations of stakeholders on Unimicron.
▲Analysis Process
Material Issues and Impact Boundaries
In 2021, we will add three major issues: "GHG Management," "Waste Management," and "Human Rights." We
will uphold the three pillars of "Concern for the Planet," "Respect for People," and "Pursuit for
Performance," and continue to strengthen the disclosure and management of related issues in Governance,
Environmental, and Social to respond to international trends and concerns of stakeholders and to promote
the positive development of the industry supply chain.
