/INTRODUCING JSR MICROETHICSOUR APPROACH TO CSR
AND ETHICS

JSR Micro is located in Leuven, Belgium, from where we serve customers in
Europe. We achieve a global reach through close collaboration with our parent
and sister companies in Japan and the US. JSR Micro’s core competency
is our expertise in polymer chemistry. Since 1985, our mainstay has been
specialty chemicals for the semiconductor industry. During the last 8 years, wehave branched out into the life sciences to deliver bioprocess materials andresearch and diagnostic kits for pharmaceutical markets. In 2008 Lithium Ion
Capacitors (LICs) were introduced to the European market, which we supply toindustrial customers in need of uninterrupted power supply systems (UPS) andto customers that develop electric transportation systems.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH
JSR Micro is a fully owned subsidiary of JSR Corporation. Our daily operations
are run by a 6-person executive committee. A supervisory board with members
from Belgium and Japan oversees performance, long-term decisions andstrategy development.
JSR Micro uses a common system
in which the Executive Committee
develops strategy, which istranslated into departmental
and individual goals. Because of
our recent growth these systems are being updated and we are transitioning
towards a more formal Balanced Score Card system. In addition, all of our,*-+6-/, "00"0/" -12/"!&+ "/1&Ɯ"!*+$"*"+10601"*01%1%3"
an inherent focus on continuously improving performance: the ISO 9001 systemfor quality management, ISO 14001 for managing environmental aspects and
OHSAS 18001 for occupational health and safety.

CSR is a mindset that comes naturally
to JSR Micro. In order to deliver highquality products while maintaining
superior standards of accountability
towards all of our stakeholders, wemust care for the safety and wellbeing of our employees and theenvironment. The Japanese aspectof our company adds an extra focus,+"ƛ& &"+ 6+!")&*&+1&,+,#
waste in every form, minimizing
environmental impacts.
In light of the transformation at
JSR Micro, during the reporting
period the main focus of the CSR
program has been to carry existing
CSR standards and performancethrough the many changes. To meetthe increasing workload, we had ahiring rate of 28 percent in the past
2 years. As our workforce grows, wemust ensure that new employees arefamiliarized with these standards.
CSR encompasses many topics;
Environment and Health and
Safety (EHS) activities are a core
part of this. At JSR Micro, the EHS
department and the CSR coordinator
are the driving forces behind CSR
improvements.

“Because we work with chemical substances, we are highly aware of what we waste.
If we can use fewer products, we will always do so. In our labs we are also very conscious

JSR Micro adheres to The JSR Group Principles ofCorporate Ethics, which outlines the basic standardsof business conduct to which we hold ourselves
accountable. We also endorse the comprehensive
code of conduct of the Electronic Industry Citizenship
Coalition (EICC).

CSR PRIORITIES

These are the topics that are of high concern to JSR Microas a company, as well as to our stakeholders:

growth, this is no longer possible.
Now that the ratio of ‘old’ versus‘new’ employees is approaching 2:1
at some departments, we can nolonger assume that new employees
will automatically adopt the ‘JSR
mindset’: a quality- and customer
focus and an open, respectful andresponsible attitude.
Because of this, management
recognizes the need to formalize
some of the communication andprocesses. To ensure that new
employees integrate smoothly,
we provide support in various ways:• +,ƛ& &)1/&+&+$1/'" 1,/6#,/

department managers present on
the activities of their department• An informal breakfast with theexecutives for all newcomers

EMPLOYEE COUNCIL
When an organization surpasses 100 employees, Belgian
legislation requires the establishment of an employee
council that also includes members of the management.
The JSR Micro employee council also includes four
members that represent the labor union. The labor union
representatives are elected, so that they represent theentire workforce. The council discusses company topics
that concern employees, such as labor contracts, work
hours, facilities and collective working agreements.
• 100% of the workforce is represented
by the employee council.
• 100% of the employees are covered by collective
bargaining agreements.

DEVELOPMENT AND ENGAGEMENT
As JSR Micro operates on the leading edge of technology,
it is impossible to stay in the same job without developing
new skills. During the annual performance review,
managers and employees collaboratively set goals, andidentify education and training needs. Management is very
open to education requests and it is rare that a request
is denied. The goals are tied to the company’s strategic
objectives, so that it is clear to each employee which role
they play in contributing to JSR Micro’s success.

JSR Micro organizes several fun, social events for
employees every year.

In July 2015 and 2016, JSR Micro participatedwith a volleyball team and supporters in
Leuven’s annual Beach Volley Tournament. For
the occasion, Ladeuze Square in the city centeris turned into a beach with several volleyballcourts. It is a festive, family-oriented event, withlots of activities for children.

THE WARMEST MONTH:FUNDRAISING FOR “HONK”‘De Warmste Week’ is an annual philanthropic event
organized by radio station Studio Brussel. During thatweek, people from Flanders are invited to organize actions
to collect donations for charitable causes of their choice.
Participants are invited to talk about the causes they
support on the radio. In 2015 alone, 3,345 actions wereorganized for 1,045 causes.
JSR Micro’s Personnel Club (PC), a group of enthusiastic
JSR employees that organizes events throughout the year
for all employees, extended the week to a month in 2016.
They participated by selling snacks, such as grilled cheese
sandwiches, hot dogs, soup, spaghetti, hot chocolate and cake. JSR Micro donated the groceries and the proceeds were
donated to an organization called ‘HONK.’ HONK was founded by parents of disabled children, with the aim to collectmoney to buy a house in which the children can live, under supervision, when they grow up. In this way, the children canbe part of society, instead of spending their lives in a nursing home. The NGO also organizes meaningful activities for thechildren. Instead of giving Christmas presents to customers, JSR Micro also donated to this good cause.

LEVENSLOOP
Levensloop, or ‘race for life’ is a 24-hour sponsored run insupport of the battle against cancer. JSR Micro employees
show solidarity by participating in this challenge as a team.
In 2015, 46 JSR Micro employees and their friends andfamily participated, collecting 510 Euro, JSR Microadded 1.000 Euro to this amount. In 2016 JSR Micro andparticipants together collected a total of 1500 Euro’s.

/INNOVATION ONE-ON-ONE
JSR Micro is a research-oriented organization thatspecializes in polymer chemistry. We develop
our products in close collaboration with leading
innovators. Through listening and anticipating ourcustomers’ needs, we use our expertise to creatematerials that enable technological breakthroughs
by solving our customers’ innovation challenges.
We call this approach ‘innovation one-on-one’.

ELECTRONIC MATERIALSENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF EUV

Innovative advances in the semiconductor industry
roughly follow the prediction of Moore’s law:that the numbers of transistors on a microchip will
double every two years. Progress was delayed for someyears because of technical challenges with the nextgeneration technology, extreme ultraviolet lithography(EUV). JSR Micro is very proud to announce that we are1%"Ɯ/011,-/,!2 "-%,1,/"0&010#,/%&$%Ȓ3,)2*"

Consequently, the RA department is always consulted

ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY CITIZENSHIPCOALITION (EICC)SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING TRAINING

The EICC is a voluntary initiative by major companies
in the electronics industry to foster CSR performance inglobal electronic supply chains. The initiative consists ofa code of conduct, risk assessments and independent
audits, which encompass topics such as management
systems, ethics, labor, environment and health and safety.

The last decade saw a steady increase of chemicallegislation worldwide but particularly in the EU.
We expect this growth to continue. To anticipate
legislation, many of our customers compile their own‘blacklists’: lists of materials that they wish to avoid.
Because the EU has such stringent chemical legislation,
its directives serve as a canary in the coalmine for otherregions.
To anticipate regulatory trends, our RA department plays
an active role in various working groups of Essenscia,
the Belgian Federation for Chemistry and Life Sciences.
It takes years to move from product development to highvolume production, therefore it is of pivotal importancethat we select materials that are not just allowed on themarket now but will be allowed in the future.

The introduction of the chemical legislation REACH
in 2007 meant a great administrative burden for theEuropean chemical sector, especially for Small andMedium Enterprises (SME) that usually do not haveinternal compliance experts. In 2008, Essenscia initiated‘VLARIP’ (REACH Implementation Projects in Flanders) to
guide SMEs in implementing REACH and other legislation
through monthly workshops. In 2017, Catherine Jakus,

To create awareness of sustainable alternatives whenpurchasing materials and services, we organized a training
in which 20 employees participated. The workshop
