In terms of participation in public affairs and public policy, the relevant departments will first examine the reasonableness of the public association or public activity and whether it is consistent with the position of PSMC. After obtaining the approval of the unit manager, the President will give his final approval before participating. If, in the course of participation, the Company finds that a public association or activity is inconsistent with the original intent of the Company's participation or its position, the Company will hold an internal meeting to discuss the matter and communicate with the relevant entity to clarify the issue and express its position. If it is determined that the issue at hand is inconsistent with the Company's position, the Company will choose to withdraw from the relevant association or activity.

Public Affairs Governance Policy  

In 2022, the domestic and international associations related to the development of the industry in which PSMC is involved are mainly the following:

By joining the Taiwan Internet of Things Technology and Industry Association and taking on a management role, the company will be able to exercise decision-making influence on the development of standards and applications in the IoT industry. This will ensure that the company's existing technologies can be widely applied in various fields related to the IoT industry, and to further continue to provide core competitiveness in the area of technological research and development for application in the emerging industries.

To promote the exchange and cooperation between the software, hardware design and system integration industries in Taiwan; to interact closely with the academia and government authorities to promote the innovation and application of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, and to help the industry grasp the new business opportunities that are flourishing.

Through the participation in the Taiwan Advanced Automotive Technology Development Association (TAATDA), the company will be able to communicate with the automotive industry and integrate their knowledge areas, which will enable the company's technology development to connect to the considerable EV and smart car business opportunities in the future. In the face of the automotive industry's carbon reduction regulations, the expanded development of electric vehicles, including the need for a large number of semiconductors and automotive electronic modules, are increasing. PSMC's participation in the association will enable the electronics industry and automotive industry to move into the advanced automotive field together and transform the automotive industry into a smart one, deepening the cooperation between the two industries and establishing a complete supply chain for the electric vehicle industry in line with the country's future goal of net zero sustainability.

PSMC participates in the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association (TSIA) in order to remain on top of the development of the industry and to reach a consensus with industry peers through the association's activities, in an effort to promote cooperation in the midst of competition, to jointly promote the sound development of the industry as a whole, and to strengthen the overall competitiveness of the industry, in hopes that the company can maintain an advantage in the ever-changing international environment.

PSMC participates in the The Allied Association for Science Park Industries to broaden the communication with those in the industry and manufacturers of other industries in the Park, to establish an effective communication mechanism with the government and to protect the common rights and interests of the manufacturers through the organization of the Association. Through the clustering effect of our industry peers, we are able to build up the international status and reputation of the industry, and further enhance the competitiveness of our company.

In 2021, the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) established the Global Sustainability Committee with the goal of establishing a sustainability strategy blueprint for the semiconductor industry to help the global semiconductor industry move toward sustainable development. PSMC participated in the “SEMI Semiconductor Industry ESG Sustainability Initiative” ceremony to declare our commitment to sustainability alongside our peers in the face of the challenges posed by climate change, and to share our experience in energy saving, carbon reduction and water recycling in hopes of creating a green industry chain.
