Equivalent to six 2-liter PET bottles. By turning off the shower one minute earlier, you can save this much water.  

It is estimated that a person needs to use at least 100 liters of water per day. In Taiwan, the daily domestic water consumption per person is 284 liters. About 40% of this is used for bathing, and about 20% for flushing toilets. The majority of water is used for “washing.” Leaving the shower running for 1 minute wastes about 12 liters of water, which is equivalent to six large PET bottles (2 liters each).  

Winbond aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all,” with the following achievements:

• In 2021, Winbond passed the ISO 14046 water footprint verification and introduced the ISO 46001 water efficiency management system in 2023.
• Winbond effectively collects rainwater and condensate as alternative water resources, using 1.83 million liters for irrigation and secondary uses by 2023.
• Winbond implements new water-saving measures annually, introducing six new measures in 2023, increasing water savings by approximately 390,000 cubic meters. From 2019 to 2023, the cumulative water savings reached approximately 4 billion liters.
• In 2023, the water reclamation volume reached 13.15 million cubic meters, with a fab-wide water reclamation rate of about 82.2% and a manufacturing water reclamation rate of about 90.1%, meeting the environmental impact assessment commitments of the Science Park.

Earth is known as the "water planet," but about 97.5% of its water is seawater, with only about 2.5% being freshwater. 

Most of this freshwater is locked in polar ice caps, soil moisture, or deep underground aquifers. The water available in rivers and lakes accounts for just 0.01%. 

Due to agricultural and industrial development and population growth, global water usage increases yearly. Many countries face water shortages, and issues like water pollution and flood disasters are becoming more frequent, making global water resource problems increasingly severe.

• Water Resource:Winbond values all resources and is committed to increasing the reuse rate of recycled water. In 2023, the overall plant water recovery rate was approximately 82.2%.

In addition to average life expectancy, there is a more important measure called “healthy life expectancy,” which refers to the length of time an individual can live independently without needing assistance or care. Japan, with its well-established healthcare system, is renowned for its longevity. The combined average life expectancy for men and women is 84.2 years, making it the highest in the world and over a year longer than the second-ranked Switzerland (83.3 years). This longevity is attributed to the excellent hygiene and nutritional status of the Japanese population, along with advancements in medical technology.  

Winbond aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages,” with the following achievements:

• Winbond’s medical office cares for employees’ re-examination status, achieving a 100% care rate.
• Sports promotion participation: 30,476 participants, burning a total of 10,362,995 calories.
• Employees enjoy seven days of LOHAS leave in their first year, with an 82% usage rate.
• Various diverse clubs have been established, with 34 registered clubs as of 2023.
• The self-funded group insurance plan covers employees, their spouses, children, and parents, with total premiums paid in 2023 amounting to NT$27,626 thousand.

Among them, Refuse (refusing to generate waste) means only buying necessary items and rejecting excessive packaging to prevent waste from being generated in the first place.  

There are four key words for cherishing resources, collectively known as the “4Rs of Environmental Protection.” These 4Rs are - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Refuse. These are actions that everyone can start immediately to cherish resources.  

Winbond aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12, “Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns,” with the following achievements:

• Winbond commits to not using conflict minerals and publishes an independent Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Report.
• 100% of key suppliers have signed Winbond’s Supplier Code of Conduct Commitment Letter.
• Continuously promoting sustainability awareness, organizing various low-carbon activities with suppliers to build consensus on carbon reduction.
• In 2023, a total of 24 supplier ESG workshops were held

The most representative greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, along with methane and fluorocarbons.  

lobal warming is primarily caused by human activities, such as the extensive use of coal and oil as fuels, and the significant use of electricity and gas, all of which emit carbon dioxide, exacerbating global warming.  

Everyone on Earth has a responsibility to prevent further deterioration of global warming. It is not just the responsibility of governments or corporations; each individual must take action.

• Since 2006, Winbond has participated in the Perfluorocarbon Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Project initiated by the Taiwan and World Semiconductor Council, reducing approximately 2.28 million tons of CO2 emissions.
