respectful stewards of local natural resources. We have
developed a local sustainability program that addresses
the unique needs of this beautiful region and allows
our employees to give back to their hometown.

2016 DATA
SAS is one of the largest and most advanced
semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the
United States, with over 3,000 employees
throughout a 300-acre complex. In over
2.3 million square feet of facility space, SAS
employees produce a range of digital large

Inspire the World.

OUR APPROACH Create the Future.

This report is SAS’ first effort to document our sustainability journey. We

developed our strategy and program following an internal process that reviewed
and integrated the sustainability requirements, guidance, and priorities set
within the semiconductor industry, our global company commitments, and the
local needs within Austin. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals
(UN SDGs), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), City of Austin, and the Electronic
Industry Citizen Coalition (EICC) are all integral to the targets, programs, reporting
and analysis we used to establish the benchmarks presented in this report
as well as setting guidance for future progress against targets.

In some areas, we are making real progress and have established a solid
baseline from which we can continually improve our performance –by 2016, we
already reached our parent company’s 2020 goal to meet a 95% recycling rate.
In other areas, we are solidifying our approach and will be setting clear targets
for future improvements. For example, UN SDG Goal 5.5 states: “Ensure women’s
full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels
of decision-making in political, economic and public life.” We share a commitment
to this goal with Samsung Electronics and have made progress with our Women
in Technology at Samsung (WITS) group, looking to do more in the future to
advance women’s leadership at and looking to expose more girls and women to
careers in the STEM field at SAS and throughout Austin.
2017 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT 3
 SAS’S ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM APPROACH
IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:
Preservation of the Local Environment:
By expanding activities to preserve the local environment and communities,
and to counteract global warming, SAS provides transparent account of its
Green Management practices and results to all stakeholders.

Product Stewardship throughout the Lifecycle:

By developing products that are safe and are less of a burden to the
environment, SAS strives to uphold our responsibility for our environmental
impact contained at each stage of the product life cycle, from design and
manufacturing, to purchase and usage; to end-of life processing and disposal.

Clean and Green Process:

By utilizing optimal eco-friendly production technologies, SAS strives to
establish a green production process that minimizes the use of energy and
natural resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other
materials which harm the environment. Each Samsung facility also strives
to recycle resources through resource recovery processes.

Create Accident-free Facilities:

By eliminating risk factors in advance, SAS seeks to establish facilities that
prioritize employee health and safety. Each Samsung facility also strives to
recycle resources through resource recovery processes.

 UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS

At the UN General Assembly in September 2015, the Sustainable Development

Goals (SDGs) were formally adopted to be carried out from 2016 to 2030 as means
for governments, society and business to achieve the globally shared purpose
of establishing a sustainable society across the world. Major parts of the SDGs
include 17 goals and 167 targets, such as ending extreme poverty, fighting
inequality and injustice, and dealing with climate change.

SAS has carefully reviewed and, for our initial commitment, have identified three
key goals to which we have focused our efforts, aligning our sustainable
management activities with these UN’s initiatives. We are in the process of
reviewing all of the UN SDGs to determine how we will expand our commitments
in 2017 and beyond, further aligning with our parent company’s global commitments
and ensuring our local efforts best support the needs of the central Texas region.

 WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
On November 1st, 2016, SAS unveiled our plan to invest $1 billion in the
chip manufacturing facility, which will add up to 500 jobs in Austin, Texas.
This investment will help Samsung increase the capacity of the Northeast
Austin Manufacturing plant. While making wafers is an extraordinary
accomplishment, SAS is focused on creating more middle-class jobs.

“These are big investments,” Catherine Morse, SAS General Counsel said.
“These aren’t happening in every community; people lament that there are no
more jobs coming to Austin, but these are jobs for ‘Austinites.’”

In addition to creating 500 more jobs, SAS provides training to fill in skills
gaps in areas of Engineering and Technical Training through our High School
Apprentice program and Internship program. The Apprentice program is an
opportunity for first- and second-year Austin Community College (ACC) students
to experience the technical working environ-ment at SAS. This program is the
second step in the pipeline for hiring our future technicians and engineers.

The objective is to expose prospective employees to the SAS culture and

provide them with beneficial knowledge and skills while earning their degree.
The High School Graduate Internship program has a similar standard,
building a pipeline for future SAS technicians and engineers. The goal is to
reach out to students that have expressed an interest in the STEM fields
that support the work we do.

On November 1st, 2016, Samsung Austin

unveiled their plan to invest $1 billion
in the chip manufacturing facility, which
will add up to 500 jobs in Austin, Texas.

WORKER SAFETY
Samsung Global’s goal is to create accident-free facilities by eliminating risk
factors in advance, prioritizing employee health and safety. SAS is committed
to providing a safe working environment for all employees, contractors and
visitors. Our ultimate goal is to establish a zero-accident work environment.
To do this, we conduct risk evaluation based on our EHS Management System
ACCIDENT (OHSAS 18001-certified), pursuing continuous improvement initiatives based
WORK on evaluation results. If an accident occurs, we conduct a precise safety
ENVIRONMENT inspection with the related department to prevent the recurrence of the same
or similar accident, identifying the fundamental cause of the accident and then
make the necessary improvements. In 2016, despite the increase in production,
SAS’ OSHA Recordable Incident Rate (RIR) decreased 20% as a result of the
continuous identification of potential risk factors.

within the local community that surrounds our facility.

The primary school district that we focus our philanthropic efforts on is

Manor ISD, due to its proximity to our facility. Manor ISD is growing at a rapid
pace — adding at least one new school every year for the next five years.
As a high-needs district with 76% of the student population qualifying for free
and reduced lunch, we are able to contribute funds — direct and to nonprofits
— who provide resources to help students succeed.

In 2016 SAS donated over $250,000 to support district initiatives and

nonprofit programs. Employees are encouraged to volunteer with Manor ISD
through programs such as mentoring, robotics or speaking at schools about
their careers. SAS works directly with the Superintendent to discuss funding
opportunities and supporting the previous years’ partnerships. Through this
conversation, we colleaborate on what programs we will support the following
year. By investing time and money into the school districts, we hope to expose
students to careers and opportunities and show them they can have a bright
future working down the street from where they currently live.

 EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT –
TIME AND CONTRIBUTIONS
SAS has five areas of focus for corporate social responsibility that align with our
UN SDG focus: early childhood investment, STEM education, youth development,
environmental sustainability and workforce development. Through these strategic
areas, we are able to give grants to over 30 Central Texas nonprofit organizations
in addition to thousands of employee volunteer hours. Employees are encouraged
to give of their time to organizations they feel passionate about.

Employees learn about the importance of giving back during their first week
of work where they hear about SAS’ employee engagement initiatives.
To accommodate the facilty’s 24/7 production schedule, SAS makes sure there
are opportunities to participate throughout the week and weekend. SAS hosts
events and partners with nonprofits on a variety of programs through cleanups,
mentoring and volunteering at the food bank.

In 2016, over 600 employees volunteered over 5,000 hours

to local organizations. Through the employee giving campaign
during the month of November, Samsung will match
100% of $1,000 to any three 501c3’s of the employee’s choice.
With the employee contribution and employer match,
SAS will contribute over $572,582 in 2017.

Texas community. In 2016, ten leaders were strategically placed in twelve
organizations based on SAS’ five focus areas. These SAS employees are able
to be great stewards of Samsung in the community in addition to telling their
colleagues about their nonprofits and encourage them to volunteer or monetarily
support. Spreading Samsung’s corporate social responsibility message to the

 CONFLICT-FREE MINERAL STATUS
Conflict minerals are the minerals determined by US legislation to be financing
armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the surrounding
countries (DRC Regions). The term also refers to the four most commonly mined
minerals known as “3TG” — Tantalum (Ta), Tin (Sn), Tungsten (W), and Gold (Au).

Recently, societal and environmental issues caused by the mining of minerals

in the DRC and DRC regions became a serious global concern. Samsung Electronics
takes its ethical and social responsibility to manage the supply chain seriously,
including providing customers with conflict mineral-free products and becoming
a leader in responsible procurement. SAS is aligned with Samsung Electronics’

SAS voluntarily goes above and beyond to monitor and reduce GHGs. We do
this to make our Austin site more sustainable, and to be a responsible corporate
40
citizen in our city. At SAS, site-wide GHG emissions are primarily due to the use
20
of fluorinated compounds within process materials, for the use of heat transfer

fluids, and by our overall fuel usage.

Besides working with the EPA, SAS engages with other GHG stakeholders,
including the World Semiconductor Council, the Semiconductor Industry
Association, and the Korean Semiconductor Industry Association, to work on
reducing GHGs within our facility. These GHG stakeholder engagement
activities allow SAS to have access to valuable information that is necessary
to manage on-site GHG emissions properly and efficiently.

Over several years, the Facilities Environmental team has made a continuous
GHG REDUCED effort to support its manufacturing operations in reducing GHG emissions
BY 20% by managing materials that have GHG emissions capabilities. We looked at
using less of these materials (like fluorinated compounds) and changing out
manufacturing equipment. This has allowed us to observe a GHG 20%
reduction (Normalized) from 2015 to 2016.

SAS also is helping Austin stay in a better air quality zone by reducing
ground level ozone or “bad ozone” with reduction activities on nitrous oxide
(NOx) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. In 2015 our NOx
reduction was about 228 tons CO2 equivalent/year, and our 2016 VOC
emission was reduced by about 9 tons.
2015 2016 Additionally, SAS has purchased green choice power for the last six years.
The work we do to manage air quality and to reduce GHG emissions keeps
us on track with our Samsung global climate change and operational energy
efficiency goals, as well as helping COA with their carbon neutrality objectives.

 ENERGY AND GREEN POWER
Green power is zero-emissions electricity that is generated from environmentally
preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, eligible
biomass, and low-impact hydro. Using green power helps build demand for
the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide and helps users
reduce their carbon footprints. EPA’s Green Power Partnership is a voluntary
program that encourages organizations to use green power as a way to reduce
the environmental impacts associated with electricity use. Samsung is using
113 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which represents
14 percent of our total power needs. The company’s choice to use green power
is helping to advance the green power market and support clean renewable
energy alternatives.

SAS manages its hazardous substances from the evaluation process to the
disposal stage. We do this by a thorough evaluation purchasing process, by
how we receive and use new chemicals, and by how we disposal of the
chemical once it has become a waste. We continuously evaluate new chemicals
by using a systemized material review form and by evaluating all potential
risks of using that chemical, including compliance with local, national, and
global requirements before the chemical is even brought on-site.

proper labeling and safety data sheet information so that workers are aware
of the potential hazards of the new chemical. Wherever possible, SAS has
task force teams see if there are less hazardous substitutes to use for a particular
chemical to reduce employee risk, and of course, to track the ultimate and proper
disposal of that substance once it is ready to be discarded.

Besides evaluating risks, ensuring compliance with usage, finding less hazardous
substances and ensuring proper disposal, SAS utilizes the “Hierarchy of Controls”
(HOC) method to regularly evaluate hazardous substances for possible reduction
opportunities, and to make improvements to the work environment. Using this
HOC method, SAS recently was able to reduce the usage of a particular cleaning
chemical usage by 75%! To ensure SAS continues to work with hazardous
substances in the best manner practical, SAS represents our company on an
industry association group to address a variety of chemical-related technical issues.

Currently the group is focusing on general chemical usage, on the potential

of new chemical ions and their possible impacts when these molecules are
released into wastewater, and on the increased use of nanomaterials in
manufacturing processes. Through these collaborative activities, SAS gains
knowledge about current and future hazardous substances concerns and
trends, and is better able to keep SAS employees, contractors, and the
environment from potential chemical risks.
