* IC manufacturing and OSAT (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test) companies provide intermediate products and services that are not directly consumed by end-users. The use and disposal of the final products is also typically not related to our business operations. These are the factors highlighted by the SEMI SCC taskforce in their ‘Scope 3 Category 11 GHG Assessment’ report together with a recommendation that category 11 can be reasonably excluded for semiconductor manufacturing companies. If Scope 3 emissions for Categories 11 and 12 are estimated indirectly, total Scope 3 emissions in 2025 would represent a 95.2% decrease compared with the 2020. For information on the Scope 3 Category 11 GHG Assessment, please refer to the SEMI official website at https://discover.semi.org/scope-3-category-11-ghg-assessment-download-form.html
