Hazardous Substance Management

Green Products

Winbond adheres strictly to international guidelines and standards such as QC 080000 (Hazardous Substance Process Management System Requirements), RoHS Directive (EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment), REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), California Proposition 65 (The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986), TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) and Canada Convention. These ensure that the hazardous substance content of wafer, chip and package IC products manufactured by Winbond satisfy international environmental regulations and customers’ green product requirements. They must also avoid polluting the environment and posing a threat to human health. Winbond has drawn up the “Hazardous Substances Control Regulations” and set up a cross-department hazardous substance management team to oversee all product-related design, purchasing, production and sales processes. Suppliers and subcontractors are also required to adopt green product requirements. Our ultimate goal is to supply customers with Hazardous Substance Free (HSF) products that meet their requirements. Winbond also pays attention to creating environmental protection concepts for the employees. All employees (including new employees) have received “Hazardous Substance Identification and Pollution Prevention Training." The following principles are followed during R&D, purchasing, production, operations and services to reduce the impact of our company operations on the natural environment and human beings:
1. Reduce the resource and energy consumption of products and services.
2. Reduce emissions of pollutants, toxic substances and wastes; and properly dispose of the waste.
3. Improve the recyclability and reusability of raw materials or products.
4. Optimize the sustainable use of renewable resources.
5. Extend the durability of products.
6. Enhance the effectiveness of products and services.
