SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, USA – July 2, 2013– SEMI today announced that Ajit Manocha, CEO of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, is the recipient of the “SEMI Outstanding EHS Achievement Award - Inspired by Akira Inoue”. The Award is sponsored by SEMI and will be presented on July 9 during the SEMICON West Opening Keynote in San Francisco.

“We are pleased to present the Award to Ajit Manocha for his environmental vision and actions," said Dennis P. McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. “EHS is a critical consideration in semiconductor manufacturing and we are proud to promote excellence by recognizing those that demonstrate influential leadership and industry achievement.”

“Excellence in Environment, Health and Safety is not only a mandate that we set for ourselves, but a fundamental expectation of our customers and the communities where we operate,” Manocha said. “Corporate responsibility is fundamental to our culture and our value proposition to our customers, the communities in which we live and do business, and our full range of global stakeholders.”

Manocha heads GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ Executive Stewards Council (ESC), the leadership forum for strategic direction and accountability for risk management, corporate responsibility and sustainability.  Manocha’s leadership has resulted in significant EHS achievements at GLOBALFOUNDRIES. Those cited by the Award committee in the selection of Manocha include:

·         Zero-Incident Safety Culture – GLOBALFOUNDRIES safety goal is to continually reduce all injuries and Manocha continually challenged the EHS and project management teams to achieve zero incidents. For example, Manocha ensured that there was a strong focus on safety metrics in the executive project reviews of the new Fab 8 in Malta, New York. GLOBALFOUNDRIES' Singapore Fabs all received “Silver Awards” for Health and Safety presented by the Workplace Safety and Health Council and supported by the Singapore Ministry of Manpower.

Commitment to Eco-efficiency in Foundry Operations – In 2012, GLOBALFOUNDRIES set corporate environmental goals to reduce GHG emissions 40% by 2015, electricity consumption 35% by 2015 and water consumption 10% by 2015, all normalized to a manufacturing index and compared to 2010.  Fab 8 incorporates multiple energy efficiency measures, waste heat recovery, and “idle mode” for abatement systems and vacuum pumps. Fab 1 in Dresden is powered by two energy-efficient tri-generation power plants that provide electricity, heating and cooling to fab operations, GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ Singapore utilizes reclaimed NEWater for incoming supply and achieved an energy reduction of 50 GWh in 2012, with a 2013 goal of a further 57 GWh reduction.

·         World Semiconductor Council (WSC) Commitment to Best Practices for PFC reduction – At the 2012 annual CEO meeting of the WSC, Manocha led the discussion of EHS topics, urging his fellow CEO’s to take action to protect the environment, conserve resources, and achieve the WSC’s PFC reduction goal. GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ newest US fab, Fab 8 meets the WSC Best Practice commitment for PFC emission reduction, and Fab 1has incorporated best practices for PFC reduction since 1999.

·         WSC Commitment to a “Conflict-free Supply Chain” – At the 2013 WSC meeting Manocha  championed a “Conflict-free Supply Chain” policy to address concerns related to sourcing tantalum, tungsten, tin and gold from “conflict regions” of the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. The WSC subsequently adopted such a policy. For its part, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has already met customer requests for “Tantalum Conflict-free” products in 2012.

The SEMI Outstanding EHS Achievement Award - Inspired by Akira Inoue is sponsored by the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Division of SEMI. The award is named after the late Akira Inoue, past president of Tokyo Electron Limited and a strong advocate of the environment, health and safety. Inoue also served on the SEMI Board of Directors. The award recognizes individuals in industry and academia who have made significant contributions to this area by exercising leadership or demonstrating innovation in the development of processes, products or materials that reduce EHS impacts during semiconductor manufacturing.

Past recipients of the Award include:

·         Pasquale Pistorio (CEO, STMicroelectronics)

·         Dr. Craig Barrett (CEO, Intel Corporation)

·         Dr. Farhang Shadman (Professor, University of Arizona)

·         Saburo Kusama (President, Seiko Epson Corporation)

·         Isao Uchigasaki (Chairman of the Board, Hitachi Chemical)

·         Gerald Ermentrout (Vice President, Air Products Electronics)

·         Dr. Chang-Gyu Hwang (President and CEO, Samsung Electronics)

·         Richard Templeton (President and CEO, Texas Instrument)

·         Atsutoshi Nishida (President and CEO, Toshiba Corporation)

·         Dr. Jong-Kap Kim (Chairman and CEO, Hynix Semiconductor)

·         Dr. Morris Chang (Chairman and CEO, TSMC)
