As chip processes become increasingly complex, the advanced production capacity has expanded. Despite this growth, efforts to maintain sustainability have been evident, with marginal increases observed in unit production average power and water usage, attributed to product and process optimisations and the qualification stage of new facilities. The company has maintained consistency in managing waste production, demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship. Moving forward, these incremental increases will be mitigated by the ongoing expansion of renewable energy and water recycling systems, alongside future innovations. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT (CONT’D)
