Resumption of Operations at ASE’s K7 Plant
Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., December 15, 2014 – Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (TAIEX: 2311, NYSE: ASX) (“ASE”, or the “Company”), the world’s largest semiconductor assembly and test service provider, today announced that wafer-level process operations where nickel is used at ASE’s K7 plant has been resumed on December 15, 2014 pursuant to the Approval Letter (No. 10343171000) that ASE received from the Kaohsiung City Environment Protection Bureau (KEPB) on the same day.
The Company expresses gratitude to the inspectors from the Environmental Inspection Division of the KEPB and Kaohsiung City Government for their corrective instructions and supervision. The Company has learned lessons and obtained valuable experience since the incident at the K7 plant occurred. It has taken many mandatory and corrective measures to improve the monitoring system for waste water discharge. For example, for purpose of information disclosure, the Company has installed LED screens in each of the plant buildings for displaying relevant information. The Company has also become the first company nationwide to have established direct link to the KEPB and disclose relevant information and data on KEPB’s website for public inspection.
In addition, in response to the requests for improvement made on December 8, 2014 by director Chen Jinde of the KEPB, including the request for real-time displaying of waste water flow in the central control room of the Company’s monitoring system and the request for countermeasures for dealing with abnormal level of accumulation of nickel-containing waste water, the Company has made improvements and has responded to the KEPB within three days and confirmed that such requests had been fulfilled.
The Company expects that in the future it will not only comply with all the safety and environmental regulations but also aspire be deeply rooted as a green plan in the city of Kaohsiung. The Company has entered into a contract with the National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology to establish the “South Taiwan Environmental Education Solution — Sustainable Development Center” which will commence a series of environmental courses with rich and exciting content by the end of 2014, including those designed for the seniors, families and youth. Further, we will work with the Environmental Quality Protection Foundation (EQPF) to plant 93 hectares of trees and hold a number of environmental education lectures and establish the first environmental education audio-visual platform.
Furthermore, out of our concern for the local residents of the Nantze District, in order to help elementary schools in Nantze District for energy conservation and carbon emission reduction and
