Water resources are critical for the semiconductor production process. VisEra has adopted water risk assessment tools of the World Resources Institute (WRI) to identify the water risks in the area where the plant is located, using water availability, environmental discharge quality, and regulatory and reputational risk as key indicators. The results of the assessment for the Company’s Hsinchu Plant, and new Longtan Plant sites are all medium to low risk. We enforced the three strategies of “implement water use plans, seek opportunities to conserve water, and control pollution channels” and we set up have mechanical or electronic flow meters on all water inlets and key water pipelines. We assign on-duty personnel to record meter readings every day. The engineer in charge of the water system compiles statistics and sets water use plans based on the meter reading records. After evaluating the capacity of the system in 2022, we changed the source of water for the plant-side waste gas scrubber from tap water to reclaimed water to demonstrate our commitment to water conservation. We set up a Water Supply Emergency Response Team with representatives from relevant departments to discuss future water shortages, sources for purchasing water, and ways to replenish sources of purchased water. They divided the work based on the resolution to arrange the water purchase and replenishment schedule and implement water resource risk management.
