GF quantifies GHG emissions using the following methods:
• “The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition)”;
• For semiconductor process related F-GHGs emissions specifically GF uses Tier 2 methods of IPCC Guideline for GHG Inventories
V3_Chapt6 Electronics Industries and U.S. EPA reporting methods under Subpart I of the GHG Mandatory Reporting Rule (MRR);
• GWPs used are from IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4 - 100 year)
• GF is using the market-based method to quantify Scope 2 GHG emissions from the “GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance”. The market-
based method reflects emissions from the electricity that a company purchases, which in some cases may be different from the
electricity that is generated locally and distributed via the local grid.

We also include the category “byproducts beneficially recycled and reused”, which is applicable only to our U.S. sites because reclaimed material is excluded from the U.S. EPA definition of
hazardous waste. Examples of beneficially recycled and reused byproducts include the reuse of spent sulfuric acid as a raw material in the manufacture of fertilizers or production of aluminum

Short term targets (2019–2021) for combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions were:
emissions reduction targets,
and an analysis of performance • Achieve savings in annual GHG emissions of 11,900 metric tons carbon equivalent
against those targets (MTCE);
14
• 18 percent reduction of normalized greenhouse gas emissions
At YE 2021, GF had substantially exceeded (by almost five times) the original amount of
our target to save annual GHG emissions of 11,900 MTCE by implementing projects that
save more than 56,300 MTCE annually, with the vast majority (more than 49,000 MTCE)
being Scope 1 GHG emissions.
Normalized Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions decreased 19 percent from 2018 to 2021 —
achieving our normalized GHG reduction goal.
Long-term strategy: In August 2021 GF announced our "Journey to Zero Carbon"
Initiative, which builds on our long history of proactive investment in Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emissions reduction. We are setting a goal to reduce absolute GHG emissions
by 25% from 2020 to 2030 by enhancing manufacturing (emission) controls, further
improving energy efficiency, and sourcing renewable and lower-carbon energy - even as
we significantly expand our global manufacturing capacity.

Securing and protecting the ongoing supply of strategic and critical materials and minerals
(including the subset of the "Rare Earth" elements that are important to our industry)
ensures continuity in our manufacturing operations and most importantly, delivery to
our clients. As such, GF's Global Supply Management organization has implemented a
rigorous Business Continuity Planning (BCP) process that considers multiple factors of
risk with corresponding proactive mitigation plans and actions.
This BCP process is global in scope and is reviewed on a regular basis to maintain a
constant state of readiness. Proactive measures are undertaken to ensure the protection
of our supply both in the short and long term. Our global footprint, with fabs on three
continents, helps us to diversify our supply chain and gives us the flexibility to cross-
qualify our fabs as well as leverage alternative sources for key supplies. We are not totally

absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 25% from 2020 to 2030 - even
as we significantly expand our global manufacturing capacity.  
In early 2022, we conducted a TFCD-aligned climate risk assessment and
a qualitative scenario analysis that utilized selected low and high emissions
scenarios. While climate modeling is complex and different outcomes are
possible, based on this qualitative scenario analysis, we do not expect any of
the evaluated risks to present material impacts in the short-term (1-2 years)
to mid-term (3-5 years). Our manufacturing sites are located in generally
low-risk geographies for natural hazards, and the scenario analysis did not
indicate a significant risk to our operations from extreme weather events well
into the middle of the century. We are evaluating additional steps to refine
the qualitative analysis, including potential future application of quantitative
scenario analysis.

Potential risks associated with climate change are evaluated as part of
our overall risk management process. Our TFCD-aligned climate risk
assessment and qualitative scenario analysis utilized selected low and high
emissions scenarios. The transitional risks included pricing of GHG emissions
through carbon taxes and fees, and costs for lower emissions technology in
manufacturing operations. The physical risks included increased severity of
extreme weather with the potential to impact GF manufacturing operations in
Germany, Singapore and the Northeast region of the U.S., or our suppliers, and

material.
Our GHG goal from 2018-2021 was to achieve savings in annual emissions of
11,900 metric tons carbon equivalent (MTCE), while also achieving an 18%
reduction of normalized greenhouse gas emissions. Our results achieved savings
of 56,300 MTCE and a 19% normalized reduction.
Our electricity goal from 2018-2021 was to achieve savings in annual electricity
use of 86 gigawatt hours (GWh) with a 15% reduction of normalized electricity
consumption. We achieved 86.2 GWh savings with a 23% normalized reduction.
GF provides manufacturing services for many “fab-less” or “fab-light” customers.
Our Scope 1 and 2 emissions can be considered Scope 3 emissions for our
customers. GF calculates customer-specific emissions based on the relevant
manufacturing locations, technologies and production volumes.
