3.2.2.3 Material Reduction-- Material Resources Management UMC aggressively promotes cleaner production and adopts state-of–the-art technology to facilitate sustainable operation and development. UMC first selects its target from raw materials that produce major waste by referring to international trends and government-controlled chemicals. Related departments will then conduct smallscale experiments to evaluate technology feasibility while reducing this target in conformance with the company’s cost-down policy and internal benchmark method. If it proves to be feasible, the reduction method will be applied in each fab. Management and reduction of material usage for 2008 is officially controlled by the Green Production subcommittee within UMC’s CSR committee. UMC’s Key Raw Materials Implementation Usage Reduction Result in 2012 Materials for Result Fabs Reduction EKC-270 8A/8C/8D/8E/8F /8S Normalized EKC usage is down 12.1% (clean compared to 2011. application) ST-250 (photoresist) 8D/12A/12i Normalized ST-250 usage is down 2.4% compared to 2011. Material Management With a raw material management e-system and regular analysis of optimum consumption by dedicated units and personnel, UMC ensures the rational procurement and utilization of material resources. For key raw materials, UMC analyzes the correlation of production capacity and waste output with material consumption, and also implements various material usage reduction projects. Through optimizing production processes, workflow improvement and target management, UMC can reduce consumption from the source. 3.2.2.4 Waste Management UMC waste management strategies are waste reduction and from converting waste to resources. We depend on improved process technology, the original source material reductions and other management measures to actively reduce the amount of waste. Waste Reduction UMC’s 2012 waste reduction initiatives include: n Lower the frequency for replacing sulfuric acid processing equipment in manufacturing facilities to reduce use and waste volume of sulfuric acid. n Replacing solvent cleaner with common diluted chemical solutions in some production lines, to reduce waste solvent volume. n Optimization of prevention equipment for Volatile Organic Compounds to reduce waste liquid volume. n Installing drying machine for CaF2 sludge to reduce waste CaF2 sludge volume. n Extending chemical usage lifetime to reduce chemical waste volume. From Waste to Resources In addition to process improvement, UMC promotes waste recycling and reuse to replace current end pipe treatment measures to transform garbage into useful resources. This can help: n Reduce waste volume n Reduce the resources and costs of handling waste n Create revenue from recycled and reused waste Waste Recycling and Reuse List in 2012 Items Drums Solvents Phosphoric Acid Mixed Hardware aste Description Outsourced to vendors to clean the waste drums for reuse Outsourced to factories to be manufactured as industrial material.

Outsourced to factories to be manufactured as metal, nonmetal and glass. Outsourced to wood factories for reuse Revenue generated from recycled resources reached NTD$38 million in 2012 (Taiwan) Waste disposal sequence: Reuse in UMC → Outsourcing for reuse → Recycle as an auxiliary fuel → incinerated or landfill UMC Waste Recycling Rates 2% 17% 11% 71% 9% 19% 71% 1% 1% 11% 16% 72% 4% 2% 1% 1% 7% 5% 16% 14% 73% 78% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Materials Recycling Energy Recovery Incineration Landfill others Note 1: Other waste recycling methods include solidification, overseas treatment and chemical treatment.

UMC ensures that its packaging materials are all verified at third-party laboratories by raw materials suppliers and minimize environmental impact, such as using recyclable materials, cartons, and non-chlorine bleaches. In addition, as UMC is not an end product supplier and hence typically reuses raw material packaging and used product packaging, after obtaining clients’ agreement, to reduce packaging consumption and waste generation.
