1. Semiconductor Production
Semiconductor production is our core business, which is exposed to significant business risks associated with water shortages. Recognizing its risk, we have made water management system for semiconductor production. So, we carefully analyzed the water resource risk and developed alternative water supplies in case of water shortages. Also, we made an emergency response system to avoid any negative impact upon business.
expansion and water use per unit production has also increased in overseas operation sites as 20 plants increased their production capacity and workforce. We plan to implement measures to reduce water use and recycling over time to reduce water use per unit production. The volume of waste water increased by 14% in 2011 compared to 2010. We plan to achieve a 2% reduction in water use per year starting in 2012.

We are also committed to minimise the generation of waste materials and recycle resources where possible.
