2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

“Sustainability is a fundamental element thatties all the pillars of our strategy together.”— Eric Johnson

President Statement
In the middle of our CSR reporting period, specificallyin June 2019, I was appointed CEO of JSR
Corporation, the parent company of JSR North
America Holdings, Inc., of which I also serve aspresident. In this capacity, I am putting a special
emphasis on sustainability at the corporate level.
In fact, in our ‘Beyond 2020’ business plan, I
have identified sustainability as a foundational
element that ties all the pillars of our strategy
together: digitalization, innovation, globalization andoperational excellence. The formulation of a strategic
sustainability approach on a corporate level will betranslated to the subsidiaries in subsequent years
and will provide opportunities to shift the North
American strategy from a corporate responsibility
focus to the broader concept of sustainability.
During the reporting period, JSR implemented major structural changes to its governance model. JSR North
American Holdings, Inc. (NAHQ) was founded to support the activities of the semiconductor business in
the US and the JSR Life Sciences companies around the world. The North American headquarters puts ourbusiness activities in the center of innovation, in close proximity to industry-leading companies.
Simultaneously, our semiconductor business underwent major expansions to support future growth, in
traditional semiconductor materials as well as in the new product line advanced cleans. In 2018, JSR
purchased 25 acres of land in Hillsboro, Oregon for a production facility that will open in the latter halfof 2020. And, in 2019 we opened an expansion of the existing laboratory in Beaverton, Oregon. These
expansions will enable us to support our business partners in the technological innovation required bytrends such as the Internet of Things and 5G.
The last couple of years have been turbulent. However, the structure that we have set in place will enable
us to operate in an uncertain and complex environment with agility and resilience.
Sincerely,

Eric Johnson2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report3

requirements, we maintain regular communication with the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) andSemiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), our corporate headquarters in Japan, and oursister company in Belgium, JSR Micro N.V.

2020 Corporate Social Responsibility ReportMaterial Topic: Quality
GRI 103: Management Approach103-1 Explanation of the material topic and its boundary
Quality at JSR is not just a business priority, it is a core value. It is not possible to be successful in the semiconductor business without being able to deliver superior quality performance. As patterning sizes on microchips
continue to decrease, the tiniest contamination in our products can have enormous repercussions. Therefore,
it is fundamental that we anchor a quality mindset in our culture, systems, processes and supplier relations.
For an explanation of the topic boundary, see the generic disclosures section on pages 13–14.

103-2 Management approach and its components
a. For an explanation of how priority topics are managed, see the disclosure of management approach on page 16.
b. Statement of the purpose of the management approach:
At JSR we strive to incorporate quality into everything we do. It is central to our internal processes, ourpeople, our interactions with customers, and, therefore, the products we produce.
c. Projects undertaken during the reporting period:
New quality challenges
Traditionally, the semiconductor industry is driven by Moore’s law, which predicted that the number oftransistors on a microchip would double every two years. Although Moore’s law is slowing down, it is being
extended in other ways: computing power is improved through heterogeneous chip combination and throughinnovations in the functionality and packaging of microchips. The Internet of Things (IoT) and the demand forsensors that come with it have an impact on microchip design and quality requirements. The bar was always
set high in this sector, but currently, consistent quality performance is as important as the performance ofthe product itself. JSR Micro is meeting these demands through cooperating more closely with customers,
performing detailed troubleshooting and root-cause analyses, and working with suppliers to develop systems
to manage quality performance on a raw material level.
For more information, see the Innovation section on page 19 and Supply Chain on page 24.
Restructuring of global Quality Assurance team
The JSR semiconductor companies from Belgium, Japan, and the US meet annually during a Global Quality
Meeting. Participants include representatives from Quality Assurance (QA) and manufacturing. During thesemeetings the teams exchange experiences, best practices, audit findings, and align approaches to measuring
and improving quality.
In FY19 we restructured the global QA team into a steering committee and subteams. Each plant has arepresentative member in the steering committee, as well as an executive sponsor. Four subteams havebeen established to focus on the following topics: raw materials management, manufacturing, quality control(QC) and data management. For each of these topics, the teams are developing a roadmap for improvement.

SPECIFIC DISCLOSURES, COMPANY SPECIFIC DISCLOSURE: COST OF QUALITY

MATERIAL TOPIC: QUALITY

For years, JSR Micro has used an intricate system to track the Cost of Quality (CoQ) for its production
activities. We aim to reduce CoQ by investing in prevention and appraisal so that quality costs less than
failure to deliver products. Currently, we are in the process of developing a similar system for the JSR Life
Sciences activities.
The graph below shows the CoQ for our photoresist activities. In recent years JSR Micro has developed a
new product line, advanced cleans. Because this is a relatively new activity, we are currently optimizing the
production processes, which will enable us to set a CoQ baseline. In future reports, the CoQ for the advanced
cleans activities will also be published.

a. For an explanation of how priority topics are managed, see the disclosure of management approach on
page 16.
b. Statement of the purpose of the management approach:
Innovation lies at the heart of all our activities. Being successful at managing innovation is critical to ourcompany’s success.
c. Projects undertaken during the reporting period:
Variation mitigation
As semiconductor chip designs are becoming ever more complex, the smallest variation in the performanceof our product greatly impact our customers’ ability to manufacture. During the reporting period, a focus
for both photoresist and advanced cleans has been on variation mitigation of product and raw material
performance. This has required closer cooperation within our supply chain. We have closely collaborated
both downstream with our customers to understand the effects of our products in their fabrication facilities,
as well as upstream with our suppliers, to discern the impact of raw materials on our products and,
consequently, the effect they have on customers’ end-products.
Data management
The activities to improve variation mitigation have resulted in a lot of data — on manufacturing processes,
material interactions, customer feedback, supplier performance, and more. In the last quarter of FY19 we
kicked off a project to improve the use of data by integrating it in one system to explore correlations that will
support technological innovation, quality performance and efficiency.
Investments: advanced cleans
JSR Micro has made several major investments to support the company’s growth in the advanced cleans area:• Expansion of the R&D facility in Beaverton, Oregon• Investment in the expansion and quality improvements of our toll manufacturer

2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report19• Purchase of land for a production facility in Oregon that will open in the latter half of 2020o This facility will be Green Globes-certified to optimize the environmental performance of the new building.
Investments: ‘Litho-refresh’
The site in Sunnyvale is now more than 20 years old, and some of the equipment is ready for renewal.
We have mapped out the capital equipment that needs to be replaced and have invested in functional
and analytical equipment. In addition, investments were made in a new chilled water system making great
improvements in energy efficiency.

b. Statement of the purpose of the management approach:
JSR will provide a safe and healthy workplace by preventing injuries and ill health, emphasizing the hierarchyof controls.
c. Projects undertaken during the reporting period:
Environment, health and safety committee
JSR has a cross-functional EHS committee that meets once a month to review topical safety issues
and conduct joint safety walks and inspections. Through a rotating membership, most departments are
represented in the committee every other year. Members of the EHS committee help to spread information
about safety issues within their departments and throughout the organization.
Online tool for reporting of safety incidents
An important part of creating a safe work environment is preventing injuries or accidents before they happen. To
create a safety culture with a focus on prevention, employees are encouraged to report any potential environmental
or health incidents. To make this process easier, we adopted an online reporting tool to record environmental
incidents (spills, etc.) and injuries. With this new electronic reporting tool, JSR has transitioned to a databaseapproach versus a document approach to incident recordkeeping. This allows for increased transparency of
incident trends and identifying proactive measures to reduce future environmental or safety incidents.
Software to track safety training requirements
During the last several years, JSR has expanded significantly — we work with more employees, our productofferings have expanded and we opened a new site. To ensure that every employee still receives the required
training to conduct their jobs safely, we implemented software that keeps track of all training requirements
April of 2020. This system is an integrated Learning Management System (LMS) and training database system,
which allow automatic enrollment of relevant and required training courses, based on an employee’s role.
Safety management at the new site in Oregon
JSR’s EHS employee in Oregon conducts monthly safety meetings to which all employees in Oregon are
invited. Currently, preparations are being made for ISO45001 certification in early 2021.

2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report21June Safety Month
Annually, JSR organizes activities to increase safety awareness during June Safety Month. We organize brown

as well as disaster recovery plans, which consist of the precautions taken to minimize losses and to either
maintain or quickly resume critical functions after the occurrence of a natural or man-made disaster.
c. Projects undertaken during the reporting period:
COVID-19: putting our plans to the test
The COVID-19 pandemic took the world by surprise. When cases of COVID-19 increased in California in
March 2020, JSR’s Pandemic Response Plan, which was part of our BCP planning, was activated. Under
the parameters of the Santa Clara County Shelter in Place order, JSR was determined to be a supplier toEssential Businesses, which required us to keep our operations running. All employees, except for thosethat were essential to keep production going, were required to work from home. Our BCP and crisis responseplans allowed us to respond adequately to the situation and to protect our employees while keeping thebusiness operating. JSR established “pods” for all on-site manufacturing personnel, which are self-contained
teams that are physically and socially separated from each other. The implementation of a “pod” approachto staffing reduces the likelihood that a single on-site infection may significantly disrupt manufacturing
operations.
BCP drills
The semiconductor branch of JSR Corporation has three advanced manufacturing sites globally: in Japan,
Belgium, and the US. Through the redundancy of manufacturing capacity to supply our customers, risk canbe distributed significantly. In this way, JSR Micro mitigates not only natural disaster risk, but also politicalrisk. Annually, we conduct BCP drills to coordinate crisis responses between the three sites.

FY18

Transitioned from hazardous waste processor to a waste broker
As an efficient and lean-operating company, it became increasingly challenging to further reduce ourhazardous waste generation. Because we still aimed to reduce our impacts, a goal was set to increase
the recycling of our hazardous waste. The options to do this with existing waste processors were limited.
Eventually we found a waste broker with access to a wider network of customers with opportunities torecycle the waste. Now, JSR recycles over 75% of its generated hazardous waste, and continuous to workon reducing environmental impact of our hazardous waste, such as donating analytical chemicals throughan “orphaned chemical program” as an alternative to disposal.
Pursuing zero waste certification for non-hazardous waste
In 2019, a process was initiated to pursue TRUE (Total Resource Use and Efficiency) Zero Waste
certification. After a first audit, JSR received recommendations for improvement, such as using smaller
containers to separate waste. We will also provide training to employees on how to reduce waste. We expect
to continue improvement towards this goal in FY2020.

Recycling gloves and garments in the RightCycle program
In 2019, JSR Micro joined the RightCycle program, through which our non-contaminated gloves and garment
waste are diverted from landfills and recycled into new products. In CY2019, a total of 1,085 pounds ofglove waste and 102 pounds of garment waste were diverted from landfills.
Densification system for Styrofoam
Many of the materials we receive are packed in Styrofoam. Because Styrofoam takes up a lot of space, thewaste is picked up monthly. To reduce the transport, we invested in a densification system for Styrofoam. The
system presses Styrofoam into dense bricks that are suitable for recycling, reducing transport from once amonth to once a year.

Bloom Energy Box
Because of the transition to renewable energy, the variations in energy supply from sources such as sun
and wind are causing instability, and in some cases outages in the electricity grid. Power outages can be
extremely expensive for JSR Micro. Because of the sensitivity of our products and equipment, batches
may need to be disposed of after an outage and equipment may need to be recalibrated before resuming
production. To assure a stable power supply, in FY2019 we installed a Bloom Energy Box. The Bloom Energy
Box is fuel cell technology that, similar to a battery, generates energy through an electrochemical reaction.
Unlike a battery, it requires a fuel source and, in the case of the Bloom Box, natural gas is used.
Offsets
To offset our increased emissions from switching to the Bloom Energy fuel cell, we have purchased emission
credits through the Center for Resource Solutions’ Green-e® certification program.
UN Climate Neutral Now Pledge
JSR has signed the UN Climate Neutral Now Pledge. As part of this pledge, we commit to:• Measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the greatest extent possible• Offsetting remaining emissions

Material topic: Anticipating Compliance
GRI 103: Management Approach103-1 Explanation of the material topic and its boundary
As a chemical company, JSR Micro is sensitive to the potential environmental health and safety impacts of arelease or exposure. Therefore, compliance is an absolute baseline for our performance. In many cases, JSR
Micro seeks to perform beyond compliance through forward-looking management and best practices.
For an explanation of the topic boundary, see the generic disclosures section on pages 13–14.

103-2 The management approach and its components
a. For an explanation of how priority topics are managed, see the disclosure of management approach on page 16.
b. Statement of the purpose of the management approach: to assure full compliance of all of the companies
that are covered by this report.
c. Projects undertaken during the reporting period:
Automation of regulatory updates
During the reporting period, we adopted software with which we can track regulatory updates automatically. The
software provides a calendar with all current regulatory requirements, forms, inspections and required actions.
As the business and its scope of activities grow, these improvements will enable us to stay in full compliance.
Automation of Safety Data Sheet content (SDS)
In addition, JSR Micro also transitioned to a new system that tracks SDS data. The new database wascreated by toxicological experts with specialized experience in the semiconductor industry. When new data isavailable, it is now simple and easy to update all relevant SDSs.
Green chemistry screening
JSR Micro’s customers find it increasingly important not only to be in compliance, but also to proactively
identify substances that may be of concern in the future. For this purpose, we implemented a green
chemistry screening program for all new materials that are used for a given customer. Substances arescreened for mutagenic, carcinogenic, reproductive and aquatic toxicity, bioaccumulation and degradability
properties. If there is a cause for concern, a better-performing substitution is sought.
Annual global meeting with sister companies
We meet with our sister companies in Japan and Belgium annually. During these meetings, we align our
approaches and exchange information and best practices, such as experiences with the software anddatabases we use to keep track of regulatory updates. We also exchange local trends that we observe that
may have a global impact at a later stage.

103-3 Evaluation of the management approach
For a general explanation of how the management approach is evaluated, please see page 16.
