										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GlobalWafers continues to integrate climate action into its corporate operations and long-term development strategy. Through expanded renewable energy adoption, enhanced energy efficiency, process optimization, and carbon reduction management across its global operations, the Company is steadily advancing its low-carbon transition, with its achievements also recognized by external assessments. In June 2026, CommonWealth Magazine held the “1.5°C Corporate Carbon Reduction Forum and Certification Ceremony,” where it announced the latest results of its Temperature Rising Index for Pathways (TRIPs) and recognized companies whose decarbonization pathways align with the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement. GlobalWafers was rated “Below 1.6°C” and “Outstanding Performance,” with an assessment result of 1.542°C, demonstrating the Company’s continued efforts in climate governance and carbon reduction.</p>
<p>The Temperature Rising Index for Pathways (TRIPs), jointly established by CommonWealth Magazine and Tunghai University, is a public assessment platform that evaluates Taiwanese companies’ carbon reduction progress and temperature-rise pathways. Through science-based tools, the platform helps companies evaluate the alignment between their decarbonization commitments and implementation progress. Its assessment methodology categorizes companies based on their carbon reduction targets and current performance, compares their decarbonization pathways with international climate science models, and estimates the projected global temperature increase associated with each company’s emissions pathways through the end of this century. This year’s forum brought together representatives from more than 80 companies across the technology, manufacturing, financial, and service sectors to discuss how enterprises can use science-based management to track carbon reduction progress, strengthen climate governance capabilities, and move toward net-zero emissions.</p>
<p>With net-zero emissions by 2050 as its long-term direction, GlobalWafers continues to strengthen climate governance and carbon reduction management, while aligning its decarbonization targets with international climate standards. In 2026, the Company’s greenhouse gas reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), marking concrete progress in GlobalWafers’ science-based approach to carbon reduction management. In terms of energy transition, GlobalWafers has also brought forward its Group-wide target for 100% renewable energy use from 2050 to 2040, and has set interim milestones of 35% by 2030, 55% by 2035, and 100% by 2040.</p>
<p>To increase the share of renewable energy use, GlobalWafers’ global sites are gradually advancing energy transition based on local energy conditions through self-built solar power plants, power purchase agreements, and the purchase of renewable energy certificates. Among these efforts, Danish subsidiary Topsil has commissioned its self-built solar power plant and become the Group’s first semiconductor crystal growth facility powered entirely by self-generated renewable electricity, serving as an important demonstration site for the Group’s green manufacturing and renewable energy transition. Looking ahead, GlobalWafers will continue to anchor its efforts in “Responsible Growth,” deepen climate governance, improve energy efficiency, and work with customers, suppliers, and stakeholders to foster a more resilient and competitive sustainable semiconductor value chain.</p>〈<a href="https://www.sas-globalwafers.com/en/gwc_award_en_20260703/">GlobalWafers Recognized with CommonWealth Magazine’s 1.5°C Climate Target Badge, Continuing to Advance Low-Carbon Transition</a>〉這篇文章最早發佈於《<a href="https://www.sas-globalwafers.com">GlobalWafers Co., Ltd.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GlobalWafers continues to deepen its global operations and plays an active role in connecting Taiwan with the international semiconductor supply chain. Recently, Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung, together with Ambassador Tsai Yin-chung of the Taipei Representative Office in Italy, Director Lin Tsan-nan of the Taipei Office in Milan, ITRI President Chang Pei-zen, and other representatives from Taiwan’s industrial and government sectors, visited MEMC Electronic Materials S.p.A., GlobalWafers’ Italian subsidiary located in Novara. The delegation gained firsthand insights into GlobalWafers’ operations in Europe and its advanced manufacturing footprint.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amid the trends of an aging society and shifting workforce demographics, talent sustainability is not only about employee development and retention during employment, but also extends to late-career support, retirement preparation, and life-stage transitions. GlobalWafers continues to pay close attention to employees’ needs at different stages of life, extending employee care from training, development, and workplace support during employment to key stages such as late-career planning, retirement preparation, and role transitions in life. By doing so, the Company helps employees better prepare for career changes and plan for the future, demonstrating the Company’s emphasis on employee career development and transition support.</p>
<p><strong>Taiwan Sites: Promoting Support Programs for Middle-Aged and Senior Employees and Retirement Preparation Across the Group</strong></p>
<p>At its Taiwan sites, GlobalWafers’ Health Center planned a course on “Workplace Support for Middle-Aged and Senior Employees and Retirement Life Planning,” inviting external lecturers to share insights on workplace support for middle-aged and senior employees, intergenerational communication, and retirement preparation. To broaden its sustainability impact, the program brought together employees from GlobalWafers’ various Taiwan sites, its parent company Sino-American Silicon Products Inc. (SAS), and affiliated companies, extending employee care and career transition resources to a wider group of employees across the Group. More than 100 employees participated in the program.</p>
<p>The course began by addressing the common physical and mental conditions, family caregiving responsibilities, and lifestyle needs of middle-aged and senior employees, helping both employees and supervisors gain a better understanding of the work and life challenges that may arise in the later stages of one’s career. It also explored differences in values and communication styles between middle-aged and senior employees and younger generations, thereby promoting mutual understanding and collaboration across generations. In addition, the course encouraged employees to view retirement as a new beginning in life and to begin considering their post-retirement lifestyle arrangements and directions for self-fulfillment in advance. Through cross-site resource sharing within the Group, the course not only responded to employees’ personal needs for career and life planning, but also helped foster a more age-friendly workplace environment.</p>
<p><strong>Korea Site: Retirement Transition Program Helps Employees Plan for the Next Stage of Life</strong></p>
<p>MEMC Korea Company (MKC), GlobalWafers’ Korean subsidiary, also organized a retirement preparation and career transition training program for five employees approaching retirement, helping them think ahead about post-retirement life arrangements, financial planning, and future development possibilities. For employees who are about to enter retirement, retirement does not simply mean leaving a familiar workplace; it also represents a readjustment of daily routines, family roles, and personal life planning. Therefore, preparing in advance and understanding available resources can help make this transition more purposeful and well-guided.</p>
<p>The program was conducted in collaboration with a professional career transition training institution. Course content covered financial and tax management, pension utilization, social insurance systems, and an introduction to government support resources, helping employees gain a clearer understanding of the protection mechanisms available after retirement. In addition, the course guided employees to re-examine their own experience, capabilities, and interests amid the AI era and a rapidly changing employment environment, while exploring possibilities for a second career or other life development paths. Participating employees shared that the program provided a valuable opportunity for them to think more concretely about their post-retirement life and career arrangements, giving them greater peace of mind and anticipation as they approach this important life transition.</p>
<p><strong>Continuously Enhancing Employee Transition Support and Building a More Inclusive Workplace</strong></p>
<p>From cross-site programs across the Group in Taiwan to retirement transition programs at overseas subsidiaries, GlobalWafers is gradually extending employee career transition support to different operating locations, reflecting the Group’s long-term commitment to talent development, employee well-being, and the promotion of a friendly workplace. The Company will continue to pay attention to topics such as support for middle-aged and senior employees, retirement transition, and second-career exploration, while providing appropriate information, resources, and assistance according to employees’ needs in different locations. By accompanying employees as they steadily navigate important life transitions, GlobalWafers aims to further build a more inclusive and sustainably resilient workplace environment.</p>

(GlobalWafers) is guided by its philosophy of “Responsible Growth,” and its greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), demonstrating that its decarbonization pathway is aligned with the global 1.5°C climate goal and supports its continued progress toward achieving net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.</p>
<p><strong>Science‑Based Emission</strong> <strong>Reduction</strong> <strong>Targets: Driving Net-Zero Transformation Across the Value Chain</strong></p>
<p>The Science Based Targets initiative is an internationally recognized framework for low-carbon transition, designed to assist corporations and organizations in setting GHG reduction targets in line with the latest climate science. Its standard framework ensures that corporate decarbonization targets are aligned with the decarbonization pathway of the Paris Agreement, supporting efforts to limit global warming to within 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.</p>
<p>Regarding near-term targets, GlobalWafers commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 63% by 2035 from a 2022 base year. For Scope 3, GlobalWafers focuses on three primary emission sources: &#8220;Purchased Goods and Services&#8221; (Category 1), &#8220;Capital Goods&#8221; (Category 2), and &#8220;Fuel- and Energy-Related Activities&#8221; (Category 3). GlobalWafers commits to reducing absolute GHG emissions from these categories by 37.5% by 2035 from a 2024 base year. In terms of long-term targets, GlobalWafers commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year. GlobalWafers also commits to reducing absolute GHG emissions across all Scope 3 categories by 90% by 2050 from a 2024 base year, and to achieve net-zero emissions across the entire value chain by 2050.</p>
<p>Extending decarbonization across the entire value chain requires companies to integrate their global operations and upstream and downstream supply networks, while advancing decarbonization transformation through long-term governance and systematic action. GlobalWafers will continue to follow the standards of the Science Based Targets initiative, deepen decarbonization management across the entire value chain, and collaborate with supply chain partners to advance GHG reduction action, strengthening the climate resilience and sustainable competitiveness of the overall value chain.</p>
<p><strong>Driving Low-Carbon Transition: Deepening Operational Decarbonization and Value Chain Collaboration</strong></p>
<p>GlobalWafers continues to advance its low-carbon transition, implementing decarbonization strategies across both operations and the value chain. In terms of internal operations, GlobalWafers promotes green manufacturing through process optimization and equipment upgrades, including replacement of high-efficiency equipment, adoption of heat pump technology, and process redesign, combined with improvements in energy efficiency, deployment of low-carbon technologies, and optimization of resource circularity, to reduce carbon emission intensity per unit of product. In parallel, GlobalWafers is expanding the use of renewable energy through multiple approaches, including the development of on-site solar power installations, the signing of long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and the procurement of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). These efforts are steadily increasing the share of renewable energy across GlobalWafers’ global operations, supporting its commitment to achieving 100% Renewable Energy (RE100) across all global production sites by 2040. Furthermore, GlobalWafers has established an internal carbon pricing mechanism and supports natural carbon sinks and engineered carbon capture to enhance climate risk and opportunity management, strengthening overall operational resilience.</p>
<p>For value chain decarbonization, GlobalWafers has established a raw material supplier tiered management mechanism. This initiative encourages suppliers to conduct product carbon footprint inventories and obtain third-party verification. GlobalWafers also invites major emissions-intensive suppliers to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and continuously tracks suppliers’ decarbonization pathway plans and execution progress. Meanwhile, the Company collaborates with key value chain partners to deepen decarbonization engagement and gradually expand the impact of its GHG reduction efforts   across the entire semiconductor value chain.</p>
<p>Doris Hsu, Chairperson of GlobalWafers, stated: &#8220;GlobalWafers’ GHG reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, confirming that the Group’s decarbonization pathway is aligned with internationally recognized climate science standards. In response to the global trend toward net-zero transition, We will continue to deepen green manufacturing and strengthen value chain collaboration, steadily advancing toward its GHG reduction targets. GlobalWafers regards sustainable development as a key foundation of long-term competitiveness, striving to create long-term, resilient, and sustainable value for the environment, society, and stakeholders.&#8221;</p>〈<a href="https://www.sas-globalwafers.com/en/gwc_news_en_20260512/">GlobalWafers’ GHG Reduction Targets Validated by SBTi <br>Decarbonization Pathway Aligned with the 1.5°C Target  <br>Advancing Toward Net-Zero Across the Value Chain by 2050</a>〉這篇文章最早發佈於《<a href="https://www.sas-globalwafers.com">GlobalWafers Co., Ltd.

<p>In harmony with the values of respect and care on the &#8220;International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women,&#8221; GlobalWafers’ Italian subsidiary, MEMC Electronic Materials S.p.A., has launched the &#8220;Books in Circulation&#8221; project, reimagining a manufacturing space into a warm reading corner—the &#8220;Red Library.&#8221;</p>
<p>In Italian culture, red symbolizes respect and the protection of women&#8217;s rights. Starting with reading, the Red Library curates books on gender equality, respect, freedom, and living without fear, creating a warm space that fosters diversity, inclusion, and mutual understanding, allowing our colleagues to feel the GlobalWafers’ deep commitment to respecting women and fostering a supportive workplace through their daily routine.</p>
<p>This initiative reflects GlobalWafers’ commitment to both environmental and social responsibility:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Resource Conservation:</strong> Every shared book represents a commitment to forest preservation, ensuring that both resources and knowledge are saved from waste.</li>
<li><strong>Circular Thinking:</strong> Keeping books in circulation within the plant brings the concept of a &#8220;circular economy&#8221; into our daily routine.</li>
<li><strong>Workplace Connection: </strong>Reading becomes a medium to encourage interaction and meaningful bonds among colleagues.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sustainable corporate transformation doesn&#8217;t always come from grand gestures; it is built steadily through these small, warm, daily actions.</p>
<p>Through the &#8220;Books in Circulation&#8221; project, GlobalWafers integrates knowledge sharing, local culture, and team interaction into the workplace, making sustainability a part of every employee&#8217;s daily life.</p>〈<a href="https://www.sas-globalwafers.com/en/gwc_esgnews_en_20260402/">When Sustainability Meets Reading: The Red Library at GlobalWafers’ Italian Subsidiary</a>〉這篇文章最早發佈於《<a href="https://www.sas-globalwafers.com">GlobalWafers Co., Ltd.
