Our Focuses｜Human Rights and Talent Management｜Occupational Health Safety

• No significant violations of environmental regulations.
• Through regulatory identification, stakeholder engagement, and case studies, Winbond identifies management levels and operational risks at the fab level. We set short, medium, and long-term improvement goals for significant occupational safety and health risks, covering the protection of Winbond workers, enhancing contractors' autonomous safety management, and jointly creating a safe and healthy workplace. 

To meet the zero-accident goal of the environmental health and safety policy, mid- and long-term safety management objectives are set, including autonomous inspections by unit supervisors, supervisor safety observations, on-site safety proposals, and proactive reporting of near misses with rewards, gradually reducing the personnel injury rate. Supervisor safety observations primarily involve dynamic on-site observations by supervisors at all levels, combined with operational risk hazard identification. Relevant colleagues in the observed work area are gathered to discuss and communicate potential risk issues within their workplace, including injury prevention, chemical spills, and fire prevention methods.

• By Winbond’s internal proposal system, employees can reflect their needs through multiple channels, such as: hidden dangers and suggestions, to ensure the follow-up of the proposal and the reply of the management unit.
• Winbond has Stakeholder Engagement. If any environmental issues are reported, Winbond will handle and respond according to the procedures.

• Risks identified during inspections and operational safety observations are tracked in the system until 100% improvement is achieved.
• According to the internal audit procedures of the Environmental, Safety, and Health Management System, at least one internal audit is conducted annually. 

• Introduce safety and health management standards for equipment, equipment and raw materials procurement into procurement and contract requirements.
• A strict supplier audit system is established. New suppliers must undergo fire safety and environmental safety audits at their factories. If the audit results are unsatisfactory, procurement transactions will not be conducted until improvements are completed. For existing suppliers, an audit team composed of relevant units will conduct audits and evaluations on their fire safety and environmental safety aspects, and continuous improvement will be tracked. 

• Winbond has independently developed a chemical management system that conducts systematic risk assessments at all stages, from procurement, supply and use, storage, to disposal. This system ensures the control of restricted substances and health risks.
• Winbond performs work environment exposure assessments and monitoring that exceed regulatory standards. The company's internal control standard is to maintain the permissible exposure limit(PEL) ratio below 1/10. These assessments and monitoring are conducted every six months, and the results are publicly announced. 

• The "Environmental Safety and Health Education and Training Regulations" are established to prevent occupational accidents and enhance employees' safety awareness. In addition to statutory new employee and specific operation safety regular retraining, diversified training modes are provided, including the establishment of XR Center occupational safety disaster prevention simulation classes and Southern District Toxic Disaster Response Consultation Center emergency response personnel training classes. In 2024, a total of 14,869 training sessions were conducted, totaling 12,728.5 hours.
• Each high-risk operation has corresponding safety regulations, and contractors must complete special operation certification 100% before performing related operations. In 2024, total 1,358 contractor personnel obtained Contractor Hazard Notification Training. 
• There are also evaluation methods for contractors, and the results are announced by the agreement organization, providing reference for the selection of contractors by the supervisors of various engineering units.

• Winbond manufacturing sites refer to the risk assessments identified by the Environmental Safety and Health Risk Assessment Procedure" and the "Emergency Response Procedure" to plan and execute emergency response processes, personnel organization, drills, and training. The drills and training include employees and contractors. In 2024, there were 143 drills with different scenarios such as fire, chemical spills, and personnel injuries.
• Both new employees and current employees are required to receive fire-fighting training. It also strengthens on-site evacuation capabilities through semi-annual evacuation drills for all employees (including contractors).Winbond conducts earthquake evacuation drills twice a year to enhance emergency response awareness. The drills cover all employees and contractors and include day/night shifts.
• Winbond manufacturing sites are located in the Central and Southern Science Parks. They collaborate with local fire departments and science park management bureaus to hold joint defense emergency drills or joint defense team meetings. The Kaohsiung fab also serves as the leader of the 10th group of the Southern District Toxic Disaster Response Joint Defense Team, regularly conducting toxic disaster joint defense team training and inviting the Southern District Toxic Disaster Response Center to conduct activities such as emergency response safety precautions, protective equipment introduction,and case sharing to jointly improve the park's toxic disaster response capabilities.
