n  Product and Quality Management

 

As a leading manufacturer in the global CCL market, EMC consistently strives to achieve excellent product quality, treating this as one of its corporate visions. By strictly adhering to international quality management standards, EMC has obtained the ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS 9100, and QC 080000 certifications in recognition of its quality management systems. Internal monitoring and improvement mechanisms have also been implemented to continuously improve the quality management systems.

 

EMC’s Quality/Hazardous Substance Compliance Management and Control Policy is based on the principles of hazardous substance management and continuous pursuit of quality improvement. Throughout the complete production process―from raw material selection, product design, and manufacturing to final delivery―all EMC products undergo quality testing and hazardous substance compliance testing to ensure compliance with quality and hazardous substance regulations.

 

EMC has established a Hazardous Substances Management Committee to proactively promote the use of eco-friendly materials that reduce environmental impacts. The committee is chaired by the head of the Manufacturing Department, who is responsible for convening committee members to review and confirm customers’ hazardous substance requirements and assess the feasibility of such requirements. Moreover, the committee also formulates relevant hazardous substance control standards to promote management requirements and hazardous substance compliance policies for all subordinate units. The goal of “zero hazardous-substance-related complaints” was achieved in 2024.

Moreover, EMC always pays attention to customer needs and feedback. The Company is committed to continuously introducing innovation and improvements into its product designs and manufacturing processes, as well as applying advanced technologies and innovative methods in product design and development to ensure the top-level function and performance of its products compared with other products in the industry. EMC aims to enhance customer satisfaction and promote sustainable development through high quality and advanced products. EMC strictly follows relevant quality control and management procedures throughout all stages of product development to ensure the regulatory compliance of every design and development process. Based on the unwavering principles of sustainable management and hazardous substance compliance management, EMC prioritizes the use of eco-friendly materials during product development and strives to protect the environment while improving product quality.

 

 

n  Life Cycle-Based Low-Carbon Product Design

 

In light of the increasingly severe environmental impacts of global warming and climate change, EMC cares about how its products affect the environment throughout the product life cycle. Therefore, the Company initiated a product carbon footprint survey for the

EM-390 series CCL products in 2022, confirming that more than 60% of the carbon emissions are generated during the design stage (i.e., the raw material stage).

Hazardous Substance Management

 

EMC’s Hazardous Substance Management Procedure covers the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (EU RoHS), the EU’s chemicals policy (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals – REACH), IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free regulations, and other international environmental protection regulations and industry standards. To ensure that product quality aligns with green-product related environmental protection regulations, EMC has formulated incoming inspection procedures for materials and set up fluorescent X-ray hazardous substance analyzers for non-destructive measurement of hazardous substance content in raw materials, packaging materials, semi-finished products, and finished products. Suppliers are also required to ban the use of hazardous substances in their production and products, and they are required to sign an Environmental Assurance Agreement (Declaration of Non-use) to ensure that the products meet the requirements of RoHS, REACH, and other relevant environmental regulations. The trend of green environmental protection continues to gain momentum, leading to greater demand for HDI boards, layer boards, IC substrates, and rigid-flex boards that can be applied to portable products such as mobile phones and consumer electronics to make them environmentally friendly. As a result, high-performance environmentally friendly CCL has enormous growth potential, and this will be the focus of future development for PCB products.

 

Furthermore, every year, a third-party notarization unit is commissioned to carry out regular material testing on raw materials, packaging materials, semi-finished products, and finished products of EMC plants. This ensures that EMC’s products are 100% in compliance with the requirements of RoHS, REACH, and other laws and regulations.

 

Halogen-free Regulations

 

In response to the rising awareness of environmental protection worldwide and the increasingly competitive industrial environment after the implementation of RoHS regulations by the European Union, EMC has worked hard over the years to meet the requirements and has become the world’s largest supplier of halogen-free eco-friendly materials for HDI PCBs. The Company has taken the initiative to expand the development of halogen-free eco-friendly materials for 5G, Netcom infrastructure, and automotive related applications. EMC continues to explore new market frontiers by seeking niche products for each plant, increasing the added value of existing products, and innovating new high-added-value products. Additionally, to provide customers with the latest product information, product development results are displayed on the company’s website.

 

New Types of Green Products with High Performance and Low Pollution

 

EMC continues the development of glass-fiber-cloth-free build-up film products. In addition to adhesive-coated CCL, build-up film is another key product that the Company has adopted to gradually reduce its use of glass-fiber cloth. To uphold the corporate policy of using halogen-free eco-friendly materials, EMC is introducing new manufacturing processes and methods to reduce the use of solvents and the waste glue generated by production processes, which will significantly reduce the amount of waste generated. As for the targets for glass-fiber cloth use reduction, based on demand forecasts, the monthly demand for glass-fiber cloth in 2025 will be 500,000–900,000 m2, and the annual demand will be approximately 6,000,000–11,000,000 m2. Accordingly, the use of glass-fiber cloth can be reduced by approximately 6,000,000–11,000,000 m2 per year. For example, the thickness of the insulation layer in a server motherboard ranges from 50 um to 510 um, of which glass-fiber cloth accounts for 23–47% of the thickness. The same thickness can be achieved with adhesive-coated CCL and build-up film, which eliminates the need for glass-fiber cloth and is expected to effectively reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption.

 

Development of Low-carbon Raw Materials

 

Among the carbon footprint reduction approaches proposed by the CCL industry, in addition to energy saving and the use of renewable energy, product carbon footprint reduction through green product formula design is another future trend for CCL product development. Since polymer resins and functional fillers are key materials in CCL product formulas, adopting low-carbon resins and recycled fillers is an effective strategy to reduce the carbon footprint of products. In terms of low-carbon resins, EMC adopts several bio-based epoxy resins as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based epoxy resins in its low carbon product formula design. By gradually introducing bio-based epoxy resins in low-carbon formulas, the Company can reduce its carbon emissions by 50 tons of CO2 emissions per year. Additionally, EMC labs have introduced recycled fillers and performed relevant formula verification. The verification testing results validated that the formulas yielded products meeting specification requirements, showing that the carbon footprint of products can be further reduced in the future.

 

Percentage of recycled copper contained in copper foil

 

The overwhelming development of the global economy has resulted in the rapid consumption of the Earth’s limited resources. Sustainable utilization and development of resources has become an international consensus, and “circular economy” has become an important issue for social and economic development. Copper foil is one of EMC’s important raw materials, and all of the Company’s suppliers can provide products containing 100% recycled copper. This will facilitate resource efficiency and contribute to building a circular economy-based society. (Percentages of suppliers weighted based on shipment amounts.)

Sustainable Supply Chain Management

 

 

n  Supply Chain Management Policy

 

EMC believes that the implementation of corporate sustainability management should not be limited to the Company itself―the potential indirect environmental and social impacts caused by the supply chain must also be properly managed. In order to communicate EMC’s supply chain management requirements and ensure that the Company’s core values extend throughout the supply chain, EMC has long established a complete supplier management system. In addition to upholding strict quality requirements, the Company expects all suppliers to practice corporate social responsibility through abiding by general social ethics, the principle of good faith, and environmental protection regulations for products and operations. During daily procurement operations, in addition to considering the criteria of cost and quality, the Company also evaluates and audits suppliers’ performance of labor rights protection, environmental protection, and safety and health management. Moreover, improvement measures are developed based on assessment results to assist suppliers in making continuous progress, thereby enhancing supply chain sustainability management quality, reducing supply chain operational risks, and establishing sustainable and supportive partnerships. The demand for high-end materials continued to increase in 2024. With proper supply planning and scheduling, along with suppliers’ collaborative efforts, customer needs were fully met.

 

 

n   Implement Local Procurement Principles

 

Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) is a key basic material for PCB production. It is made by combining several components, including a resin, a hardener, a promoter, and a reinforcing material (e.g., glass-fiber cloth). The process involves impregnating the reinforcement with a resin mixture to create a pre-impregnated material (prepreg). The prepreg is then checked and cut into the desired shape and size. Several layers of prepreg are then stacked and covered with copper foil. This stack undergoes thermocompression to bond the layers together, followed by trimming, inspection, and final cutting to produce the CCL. Among the numerous CCL manufacturers in Taiwan, EMC has gained a position in the global market as a leading manufacturer of halogen-free CCL, with a market share as high as 33%. In 2024, EMC’s sales were concentrated in Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China. The primary export market was South Korea. EMC aims to increase the sales of high-end products (Hi-Tg. Br-Free, Low CTE, etc.) to a percentage higher than 60%. As indicated in the data released by Prismark in 2024, EMC’s global share was about 10%

 

EMC’s main product, CCL, is a midstream product of the PCB industry chain. The downstream consists of suppliers of various electronic products. The entire PCB industry chain is illustrated as follows:

The major raw materials used in EMC’s products are copper foil, glass-fiber cloth and chemicals, which are referred to as the“three major raw materials”. To reduce its carbon footprint, EMC uses local raw materials whenever possible. The local sourcing (not imported) percentages of copper foil and glass-fiber cloth in EMC’s Taiwan plants are higher than that of chemicals. This is because the chemicals currently used are all high-end products, and relevant technologies are still exclusively held by specific suppliers. It is not possible to find local suppliers for now. However, the Company has started to develop alternative supply options in Mainland China. Each plant’s purchase percentages from local suppliers are listed in the table below:

During the 2024 reporting period, EMC maintained the same operating model as the previous year in terms of its industry positioning, product and service categories, supply chain structure, and major sales markets. No significant changes were identified in the listed aspects. The organization’s upstream and downstream value chain structure, as well as its major business relationships, did not undergo any significant adjustments or structural changes.

 

 

n  Supplier Management Procedures

 

To ensure that the raw materials provided by EMC’s suppliers meet the Company’s quality requirements and customer requirements while adhering to RoHS, Hazardous Substances Free (HSF), and relevant laws and regulations, thereby enhancing the Company’s productivity and competitiveness, EMC has formulated the Supplier Management Procedures.

 

EMC has formulated its Supplier Management Procedures based on the rules and regulations set by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and related international organizations as well as the Company’s existing supplier evaluation and audit criteria. Through a process of review, evaluation, and audit, EMC controls the risks associated with its major raw material suppliers and ensures sustainable management. By reviewing, evaluating, and auditing suppliers’ environmental, labor, human rights, and social performance, the Company can select suitable suppliers while fulfilling its management responsibility.
