Energy efficiency, mobility and security – these are the three key areas for which Infineon designs, manufactures

and markets products that deliver benefits to people in modern society. The challenges involved are significant,

and our semiconductors make an important contribution in numerous applications to successfully address those

challenges.

Semiconductors,usedbutgenerallynotseenintheend-product,havebecomeanindispensablepartofour

lives. They are the means to ever decreasing energy consumption coupled with the same or increasing

performance. This is true in automobiles, just as it is for applications powered by electricity. Infineon’s products

arekeyinautomotivehybrid-drivesystems,renewableenergy,cloudcomputing,anddigitalsecurity.

In the expansion of renewable energy sources, such as wind power and solar energy, components from Infineon

play a major role not only in the conversion of renewable energy into electricity but also in feeding that

electricity into the grid. In the area of electricity consumption, efficiency is a sustainable driver of growth

because rising electricity prices and CO2 emissions result in increasing public interest on the part of both,

private customers and companies in efficient and intelligent solutions for energy management.

For decades, semiconductors have been a significant factor in electric vehicles. Against the backdrop

of rising fuel prices and the need for reduced CO2 emissions, the growing demand for environmentally friendly

carswithlowfuelconsumptionisevident.High-performancesemiconductorsarecrucialcomponentsin

electric motors, making efficient use of energy stored in batteries.

Electronic transactions have revolutionized numerous areas of daily life, including, for example, banking, ticket

systems in public transportation, identity cards, access systems, and data processing. Given the increase in

attacks on data of this kind and the need for additive functions, microelectronics plays a pivotal role to

safeguard security in networked systems.

Our dedication to environmental protection, to which we have been committed since the Villach site was

establishedin1970,ismultifaceted:ourproductionfacilitiesareequippedwithstate-of-the-artenvironmental

and safety technology and the office buildings are supplied by geothermal or district heating. In 2011, we sent

Infineon perceives itself as a High Performance Company that aspires to constantly

expand its own capacity to excel through innovation. In Austria, Infineon puts

this into practice through consistent quality and innovation management. In 2012,

the company’s commitment was recognized when it received the State Award for

Quality conferred by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Economics, Family and Youth

in cooperation with Quality Austria GmbH.

For the achievement of being the first company in the world to succeed in

producingpowerelectronicchipson300-millimeterthinwafersattheVillach

plant, we were honored with the State of Carinthia’s Research and Innovation

Award in 2012. Furthermore, for its commitment in the area of CSR (Corporate

Social Responsibility), Infineon Austria Technologies AG was awareded its fourth

TRIGOS Carinthia Award in 2012. This year, the focus was on environmental

achievments, highlightinhg for example the conversion to district heating fuelled

by a new Kelag biomass power plant at the Villach site. The plant also benefits

the inhabitants of Villach.

Finally, we should mention the net ecological benefits created by the Infineon

group. Our innovations and solutions in the areas of energy efficiency, mobility

and security are not only the means to Infineon’s ecologically sustainable

applications; they also contribute to the increased ecological efficiency of our end

products throughout their entire lifecycle. We calculate that Infineon has an

ecological footprint that translates to 1.1 million metric tons of CO2 per year.

Using Infineon products can save approximately 4.7 million metric tons of CO2

annually. The net benefit is therefore over 3.6 million metric tons of CO2 –

an ecological balance sheet we are proud of.

3 Unternehmenspolitik Arbeitssicherheit, Gesundheits-undUmweltschutz

3 Company Policy: Environmental Protection, Safety and Health, and Energy Management

For Infineon, a responsible environmental protection, safety and health, and

energy management policy is not limited to compliance with legal standards and

regulatory requirements. It is much rather a process of continuous improvement,

for instance of our products and of the way in which our plant and equipment

is operated.

3.1IntegratedManagement-aComprehensiveApproach

In 2005, Infineon combined safety and health, and environmental protection to

form IMPRES (Infineon Integrated Management Program for Environment, Safety

and Health), which covers all processes, strategies and corresponding goals in

the areas of safety, health and environmental protection worldwide.

Infineon Technologies has decided to integrate its energy management system

under IMPRES. Consequently, IMPRES now has a broader scope, standing for

Integrated Management System for Environment, Safety, Health and Energy.

Infineon Technologies holds a worldwide matrix certification according to the

ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards. Since the end of 2012 its European sites

are additionally certified according to ISO 50001.

The initial visit at Villach took place in September 2012 and the corresponding

audit in November 2012.

Integrated Management

Throughourday-to-dayactionsandwithour

innovations, we actively contribute to a sustainable

society. The measures we take for safety, accident

prevention and health are consistently aimed at

minimizing potential risks at all workplaces in order to

protectthehealthandwell-beingofouremployees.

By sustainable environmental protection we also mean

the efficient use of natural resources.

Potential environmental impacts are investigated at the

earliest possible moment and taken into consideration

in the development of products and processes. We try to

avoid impact to people and the environment and where

that is not entirely possible, we reduce it to a minimum.

Infineon Technologies AG manufactures semiconductors

in various countries and cultures. The responsibility for

people and the environment that arises from that fact

is an essential driver of how we act and it is reflected

in our processes. The resulting measures are an integral

component of corporate policy and are implemented

as such.

This is true of all aspects of the company, for purchasing,

or development and production, through to product

sales. Compliance with laws and regulatory requirements

is the foundation on which the actions of Infineon

Technologies are based.

We ensure that our corporate environment, health, safety and energy management policy is

implemented effectively. The related technical and organizational processes required are regularly

reviewed and continuously improved.

We see supporting our goals in environment, health, safety and energy management through

responsible action as the responsibility of each and every employee. Broadening and promoting

awareness at all levels is the constant responsibility of management.

We challenge those with whom we do business to follow our guidelines. We work cooperatively

withpublicauthorities,associationsandnon-governmentalorganizations.

IMPRES

3.2 Organization of the Environmental Management System

Environmental protection is for us not a matter of paying lip service. We see it as a

corporate duty and as such it is part of Infineon’s social responsibility. To do justice to

the high standards in environmental protection, we in the Infineon Group have a

structured and detailed approach to this topic and have unambiguously defined the areas

of responsibility for the various tasks, based on our IMPRES.

IMPRES: Synergie zwischen Verantwortung für Mensch und Umwelt und

wirtschaftlichem Erfolg

Compliance with legal standards and regulatory requirements is a matter of course.

However, we all know that laws are often difficult to understand. For this reason, we have

created internal rules that verifiably convert our visions in the area of environmental

protection into concrete instructions for action for each and every individual.

Infineon Austria has been integrating environmental protection into corporate action for many

years and has been EMAS validated since 1997. The Villach site, which received the EMAS award

in 2009 for constantly combining environmental and economic objectives, was in 2010 furthermore

the first company in Austria assessed under the EMAS III Regulation (EG No. 1221/2009).

The documentation of Infineon‘s environmental, health, safety and energy management includes

notonlytheIMPRESmanualbutalsoallIMPRES-relatedprocessdescriptions,working

instructions and other documents relevant to IMPRES.

Within the framework of IMPRES, the integrated management system throughout the Villach site is

regularly subject to internal and external audits. For the purpose of continuous improvement and

verification of activities, regular evaluation of the status of the management system is performed

by upper management or site management as part of a management review.

3.3 Employee Involvement

Some 2,500 staff at the Villach site contribute with their motivation, flexibility and

know-howtothelong-termcorporatesuccessofInfineonTechnologiesAustriaAG.

Apart from permanent exchange of knowledge within the Group, education and further

training play an important role in all areas.

Soon after joining the company, our employees are briefed in their first systematic

training session and at the end of the following quarter in the areas of environmental

protection, safety, health and energy. In addition, they are kept up to date with respect to

various environment issues by intranet publications addressing environmental protection

andenvironment-relatedaspects,bytheEnvironmentalStatementandthroughposters

displayed at the site.

A special exhibition was devoted to environmental protection and safety at the site during

the Innovation and Family Days held during the fall of 2010 and in May 2012.

3.5 Observance of Legal Regulations Relevant to the Environment

Legal regulations and other relevant regulatory requirements (decisions) are rigorously

observed by the company. The company also takes into account conditions arising from

approvals or, if applicable, from orders issued by public authorities, as well as matters of

insurance law. Current legal regulations relevant to the site in the fields of environmental

protection (including energy), safety and health are listed in a law directory. This applies

correspondinglytoself-regulatorycommitments,conditionsarisingfromapprovalsand

orders issued by public authorities, etc. The responsible departments are precisely defined

at the Villach site. The law directory is regularly checked and, if necessary, adapted.

It provides, for example, the basis for process descriptions and other workplace regulations

in the areas of workplace safety, health, environmental protection and energy.

Figure:Display of the legal regulations relevant to occupational safety, health, the environment and energy in the law database

Legal Regulations

Employees at the Villach site need to be aware of any risks their work may pose to people or the

environment. To this end, company rules determine employees’ responsibilities at the workplace.

Members of management staff are required to identify any hazardous areas or sources of danger in their

areas of work or their areas of responsibility, or to have them identified by others, that could result in

dangertoemployees,non-employeesortheenvironment.

Further, it is also within the duties of management staff to take measures to prevent damage, and to

check the effectiveness of those measures on a regular basis. Where checks reveal deficiencies, the cause

must be identified and appropriate corrective measures must be taken.

Consolidation of Plant Approvals

The Environmental Management Act (§ 22 UMG) gives companies that employ an environmental

management system in accordance with EMAS the opportunity to combine all federal law approvals for a

plant in a single certificate.

Figure:Excerpt from approvals documentation

18

The process of consolidation of approvals, which is undertaken on a voluntary basis

beyond what is required by law, was successfully completed by Infineon Technologies

Austria AG in May 2005.

The process resulted in a summary of the approvals granted for operating the

manufacturing plant of the Villach site. This met the documentation and monitoring

requirements in terms of legal certainty in accordance with the latest laws in effect at

that time. The decision was renewed in January 2010 and is due to be updated again in

the 2014/15 fiscal year.

In addition to a simplification of administrative procedures, both in government agency

activities and in regulatory management, consolidation has provided additional advantages

for the Villach site:

• Legal certainty as a result of the review by the authorities of the

consolidated approval

• Simplification of future revision procedures on the basis of the

consolidation approval

• Summary of all national approvals in a uniform consolidation approval

• Clear approvals structure

• Reduced bureaucracy and fewer procedures requiring involvement of

public authorities

Emergency Management

3.6 Emergency Prevention and Management

Protection of people and the environment is given priority at Infineon. This is why the company has set up

a professional emergency management system. In collaboration with the respective emergency and rescue

services, all required safety and precaution measures have been taken to prevent any conceivable incident

or limit its consequences as far as possible. In addition, all vital processes relevant to the environment are

monitored via the control system and by carrying out continuous measurements.

In the last fiscal year, 58 rescue exercises and training sessions took place in connection with fire

protection, chemicals, technical assistance and preventive fire protection.

Handling Hazardous Materials

At the Villach site, required hazardous materials are stored, transported and used in a safe manner in

accordance with the hazardous properties of the materials. Delivery to the site takes place by the use of

specially licensed vehicles and containers. Specially coated leakage and retention basins are present on site

sothatanyaccidentalleakageoffluidscanbereliablyprevented.In-planttransport,forexamplefrom

4 Environmental ImpactsData, Facts and Figures

Environmental impact is every positive or negative change to the environment

that occurs entirely or partly as a result of the activities, products or services

of an organization. Infineon is aware of the presence of various environmental

impacts and is pledged to identify new aspects and to take corresponding action

where necessary.

4.1 Input/Output Analysis

In order to minimize the environmental impacts of the Villach site, processes are

optimized on the basis of systematic recording and evaluation of energy and

material flows. In particular, resources are used as efficiently as possible by

means of targeted treatment and recycling.

Environmental Impacts

Activities monitoring the efficiency of the specific policies and regulations for

minimizing direct and indirect environmental aspects include those of the

in-plantDisasterPreventionOrganization(DPO),strategicandpractical

exercises involving the company’s action force, as well as audits and site

inspections.

However, special importance is attributed to direct environmental aspects given

their potential impact on the environment. The sections below report on the

direct environmental aspects applying to the Villach site, such as the energy,

fresh air, water, chemicals and other materials required, and the lost heat,

waste gases, waste water and other waste produced.

Input-Output

In this Consolidated Environmental Statement, the data in the input and output

tables have again been presented across three years.

Compared with the previous year, the significant increase in the total input of

resources and the associated rise in the specific consumption (consumption

normalized to cm2 manufactured silicon) for the 2011/12 fiscal year result mainly

from the expansion of the site (Hall 16A, additional 2,000 m2 of floor space),

relatedshiftsintechnologyandunder-utilizationofthenewlyavailablecapacity

due to market conditions. Furthermore, Building 7 added approximately

8,000 m2 of office floor space to the site.

Based on the optimization measures introduced during the last phase of

under-utilization,particularlyintheareaofenergy,theincreaseinspecific

consumption of resources was however kept to a lower level.

Also in the area of emissions, the rigorous continuation of the CO2 reduction

program allowed the specific emission of CO2 equivalents essentially to be held

constant last fiscal year. See section Exhaust Air.

With a view to render data comparable and enable benchmarking within the

framework of the guiding principles of the EMAS III Regulation, data reported in

the2009/10fiscalyearwasarea-normalized,i.e.reportingisbasedonthe

specific consumption of resources per cm2 of silicon wafer manufactured.

4.2 Direct Environmental Aspects

Direct environmental aspects are under the company’s immediate control and are

directly linked with the activities, products and services.

Examination of legal regulations and material flows are used for identification of

environmental aspects. The most obvious direct environmental aspects are

emissions into the air and into water, waste and use of resources and energy.

The environmental aspects of our products are described in the section

concerning indirect environmental aspects.1) Without notif ied and externally recycled solvents2) Including the volume of waste gas from cleanroom areas and the volume of waste gas collected from other site areas 3) For waste gas statistics, see page 34 (Waste gas)

Energy

Energy and saving energy is taken very seriously at Infineon Technologies Austria. Alongside the

focus on adequate management of greenhouse gas emissions, much emphasis is put on a

responsibleuseofenergyin-house.Theprocessesareoptimizedbysystemicallyrecordingand

evaluating energy and material flows, so as to implement measures targeted at maximizing the

efficiency of consumption.

Our „Energy Efficiency Project“In order to maximize efficiency in energy and resource input and to learn lessons from the times

ofunder-utilization,asite-wide“EnergyEfficientProject”,whichalsodealswithinnovative

approaches to resource optimization, was launched in the 2008/2009 fiscal year. The project

headed by a Strategic Energy Manager continued last fiscal year with a focus on innovation.

Inviewofrisingenergyprices,thegoaloftheprojectisenergy-efficientproductionofourproducts,

withemphasisonsustainableenergysavingsandespeciallyresource-andenergy-optimizedplant

utilization(seesectionThe“BreathingFactory”).Intheinterestofanintegratedapproach,all

consumption and all the costs of energy and resources, above all for electricity, chemicals, gases,

heat, water and waste, are to be reduced. The Energy Efficiency Project has so far produced

numerous subprojects that are described at the end of this Environmental Statement in the table of

implemented measures.

Employee Motivation Program

Withaviewtoensuringcontinuousparticipation,thein-houseideamanagement(YIP)callsupon

its employees to submit ideas that contribute to the overall reduction of energy consumption.

In the last fiscal year, approximately 7% of the ideas and proposals submitted related to energy,

environmental protection, safety and health. Proposals relating to energy, accounted for the

largest proportion at almost 3% of the total ideas submitted.

Environmental Aspects

Current Developments

A consumption target for the site’s specific electricity consumption for the 2011/12

fiscal year was stipulated, based on the measures set forth in the environmental

program and on the planned utilization of production capacity. As a result of

the technology innovations already discussed and the expansion of site facilities

undertaken, we view even a linear development in electricity consumption as a

challenging goal.

As discussed below, in semiconductor manufacturing, electricity and media con-

sumption in particular are to a large degree (in the case of energy typically

50 percent) independent of the number of units produced but are required in order

to maintain the operational plant and the installed production capacity in addition

to cleanroom quality. In other words, all equipment, systems and subsystems

need almost as much energy in standby mode as they do when in full operation.

This illustrates the necessity of a sustainable strategy for resource reduction.

The “Breathing Factory”

The graphs below show energy consumption as a function of capacity utilization

for wafer production. The consumption of electrical energy in semiconductor

manufacturing is (see graph for energy consumption – schematic) typically almost

constant despite significant variations in wafer production (capacity utilization).

Since extreme variations in demand and capacity utilization occur especially in

thesemiconductorindustry,itisvitallyimportanttoprepareanenergy-and

Switch to district heatingExpanding on earlier sustainability measures, such as the use of geothermal

energy for the provision of air conditioning in B06, we switched from natural gas

tobiomass(wood)-fireddistrictheatinginApril2011,cateringforheatingand

air-conditioningneeds.Usinglocalrenewablebioresourcesnotonlypermits

optimization of the site’s carbon footprint, but also achieves greater

independence from the international gas market and hence increased security of

supply. A regional and regenerative heat supply has been implemented by the

regional energy provider Kelag by means of a new biomass power plant in Villach

with an output of 16 MW and an expansion of the existing heating network by

13 km in the south of the city. We have therefore been able to replace

approximately 70 percent to 80 percent of the gas consumption by district

heating, as planned.

On the basis of the sustainable energy concept, the Villach site of Infineon

Technologies Austria thereby has become the region’s largest customer for

heatingwithanannualdemandofapproximately12.5millionkilowatt-hours,

constituting extra regional value added. Moreover, as a result of Infineon’s heat

supply contract and the associated expansion of district heating in Villach by the

regional energy provider, safe and environmentally friendly district heat can be

offered to new potential customers.

Energy-efficient expansion of the siteThe new office and laboratory annex, Building 07, is also supplied by sustainable

energyandhasstate-of-the-artLEDlightingtechnology.Inadditiontoensuring

the locally available, largely biogenic and regenerative district heating as its

energy carrier.

District Heating

28

The building can be assigned to efficiency class A according to OIB (Austrian Institution of

Construction Engineering) guideline No. 6. The specific heat demand is approximately 30 percent

below the level currently required. Particular attention was paid to the glazing due to the high

proportion of window area. The glazing system used with thermal insulation and solar shading was

optimized to reduce heat loss, minimize solar heat gain during the cooling period, provide sufficient

daylight to avoid artificial lighting and to use the solar irradiation during the heating period.

As the above diagram of externally sourced energy shows, the positive reduction trend of recent

years did not continue into fiscal year 2011/12. The specific electricity consumption of 0.35 kWh/cm2

was slightly above the target of 0.32 kWh/cm2 set for the 2011/12 fiscal year.

A consumption target for the site’s specific electricity consumption for the 2012/13 fiscal year was

stipulated, based on the measures set forth in the environmental program and the planned

utilization of production capacity. As a result of the technology innovations already discussed and

the expansion of site facilities undertaken, we view even a linear development in electricity

Energy Statistics

If the site energy statistics are analyzed in detail, a positive point worthy of

mention is that a percentage (about 20%) of the total energy requirement in the

2011/12 fiscal year was again met internally through use of lost heat, heat recovery

and lost heat of electrical devices. The change in the method of providing heating,

i.e. the switch to district heating, resulted as planned in a significant reduction in

gas consumption from 7.9 to 2.4 percent of total use. The remaining amount of

natural gas is needed in the cleaning of exhaust air. This means that natural gas

consumption for the 2011/12 fiscal year was reduced by approximately 76 percent

due to the use of district heating, producing a CO2 saving of 3,566 t.

Theconsumptionofextra-light(EL)heatingoil,whichisneededfortheemergency

diesel generator, was again very low in the period under consideration.

Chemicals and Gases

In the area of chemicals and gases, it was not possible in the 2011/12 fiscal year to maintain the

goodlevelofspecificconsumptionachievedinthe2010/11fiscalyearduetotheunder-utilizationof

capacity addressed above. In particular, the consumption of elemental gases, inorganic chemicals and

infrastructure chemicals rose significantly.

The significant increase in elemental gases, particularly nitrogen, is a result of production equipment

being placed in standby mode. The increase in the specific use of inorganic chemicals (mineral acids),

due to technology shifts towards thin wafers, resulted in increased demand for infrastructure

chemicals in the area of waste water treatment and specifically in neutralization.

Waste Management

Based on the requirements of the EMAS III Regulation Annex IV (Item C.2.c.iv), this Consolidated

Environmental Statement provides an extended waste management account.

The total amount of waste and also the quantitatively relevant fractions (contributors) listed below

increased significantly last fiscal year as a result of the site expansion and the vast amount of

construction work performed. It was not possible to reduce the specific waste amounts per

manufactured silicon area.

Theriseindomesticandcommercialwasteisduetothelargerheadcountandincreasedon-site

reconstruction work by outside firms. The significant rise in commercial scrap is the result of the

reconstruction and development of steel structures, plant and equipment. The additional waste from

building sites and demolition wood also comes from the construction work mentioned, e.g. wood

from wooden packaging and nonreturnable pallets.

Waste Management

Theriseinspecificvolumesofnon-hazardouswasteisexplainedmainlybythe

production-relatedincreaseinmineralacidsused,thesebeingneutralizedbyway

of a neutralization reaction with calcium hydroxide (slurries from the waste water

plant).

In the interest of thorough waste management practiced by all the employees,

InfineonAustriaattachesgreatimportancetoin-houserecoverynetworks.

To illustrate the point, all employees are encouraged to reduce the volume of

residual waste by collecting and segregating waste and recyclable fractions.

For example, 9 metric tons of waste wood were passed on to employees free

of charge. In the area of hazardous waste, concentrated sulfuric acid and spent

solvents in particular increased.

The higher level of spent solvents was due to increased technical and logistical

requirements in the area of spent solvent recycling. The increased quantities of

spent solvents were channelled to material and thermal recycling. Spent sulfuric

acid channelled to disposal is also processed by material recycling.

Intheareaofnon-hazardouswaste,slurriesfromthewastewaterplantwill,

as a result of targeted recycling activities, no longer go to landfill as from the

middle of the 2010/11 fiscal year but are reused in the cement industry.

For several years, the solvents cyclopentanone and NMP have been processed

externally at recycling rates ranging from 50 to 65 percent. To avoid duplicate

reporting of spent solvent mixtures, such notified waste/material fractions are not

Furthermore, it should be noted that our spent solvent mixtures are thus not only

valuable energy carriers in the area of thermal reutilization, but also a source of

secondary raw materials.

Exhaust Air

For the fresh air supply of cleanrooms, large volumes of air from the outside are

sucked in, cleaned to remove particles, and, after several recirculation cycles

(multiplecirculation),filteredandreleasedintotheenvironment.Process-related

impurities of the exhaust air are removed from the exhaust air, if necessary,

by using purification plants. The values achieved by these plants are distinctly

below the limit values stipulated by the authorities. The classes of substances

that are environmentally relevant in the exhaust air sector are collected in defined

exhaust air flows based on their chemical properties.

In the area of acid/alkaline exhaust air (process exhaust air), wet scrubbers are

used,theorganiccomponentsarepurifiedbymeansofafter-combustionplants,

while perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) from the field of semiconductor production

arecombustedinahigh-temperatureprocessandsubsequentlycleanedbya

wet chemical method.

The company’s first extended reporting on the exhaust air situation in the

expanded facilities of Halls 13 and 16A is included in this Consolidated

Based on the requirements of the EMAS III Regulation, the NOX (nitrogen oxide), SO2 (sulfur dioxide)

and dust emissions are also reported in this Environmental Statement.

The NOX emissions of the site arising from production in the fiscal year 2011/12 are approximately

15,300 kg, the amount from fossil fuels used after the conversion to district heating is only

approximately 2 kg. The emissions from the production areas were evaluated using an assessment of

the loads of the exhaust air streams and their NOX contamination (values below the measurement limit

of detection of 0.2 mg were not taken into account).

The NOX emissions from the heating mix used were calculated on the basis of the last annual emission

declaration for boiler plants 2011 (Federal Gazette II No. 292/2007).

The SO2 emission of the site following the conversion of heating from gas to district heating is less than

0.1 kg. This value was determined stoichiometrically based on the quantity of emergency diesel power

used (approximately 100l) and maintenance operations including peak load support of the boiler plant

by the energy provider KELAG (ca. 3,170 m3 natural gas).

As for dust emissions, an expert conducts an annual review with reference to the regulatory

requirements (max. 5 mg/Nm3) as part of the relevant check system at representative measuring points.

The measured values for the last fiscal year are between 0.1 und 2mg/Nm3.

The assessment of site dust emissions for the last fiscal year is approx. 2.4 t and again results from an

assessment of the load of the exhaust air streams.

Emission

Air emission values Hall 13 and Hall 16 A – Measured values in the 2011/2012 fiscal year:

For many years, we have devoted particular attention to reducing the emissions

of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs). These are used especially for etching and

deposition processes. The contribution of PFCs to the greenhouse effect exceeds

by far that of carbon dioxide.

Within the terms of the Kyoto Protocol, Infineon voluntarily committed in 1998 to

reduce the emission of PFC gases – calculated in CO2 equivalents – at relevant

production sites to the level of 1995 less 10 percent. This commitment on the

part of the German semiconductor industry contained a pledge to reduce PFC

emissions by 8 percent, calculated in CO2 equivalents, compared with 1995’s

level by 2010.

To reduce the climate impact of the emissions and to reach this ambitious goal,

special attention was paid to sustainable reduction measures particularly in the

area of the cleaning of exhaust air and the use of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)

in testing and the use of CO2-relevantprocessgasesinproduction.

The result is further evidence of the success of our efforts. With new approaches

to cleaning exhaust gas, fewer gases that are detrimental to the climate and

more efficient processes, Infineon Technologies AG had already met its own goals

within the voluntary commitment in 2007. Consequently, we are making a

significant contribution to the realization of the German and European voluntary

commitment. We see ourselves as taking a leading role in protecting the

environment and as a reliable partner.

As already described in the last Environmental Statement, SF6 is a process gas

that is essential to the semiconductor industry. Furthermore, due to its dielectric

propertiesitisusedworldwideinparticularinhigh-voltagetechnologyasan

insulation gas. Based on the current state of the art, there is no alternative to the

use of SF6 as a process gas for plasma etching in the production of

semiconductor components.

The proportion of SF6 used at the site as an insulation gas in the area of wafer

test to measure and test manufactured wafers was reduced to a minimum in the

most recent years thanks to targeted reduction programs. The remaining base

loadisaresultofthespecialdemandsofhigh-voltagemeasurementtechnology

and use as a dielectric material in implantation systems.

We have opted for sustainable reduction measures at the Villach site so as to

reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases as specified by the Kyoto Protocol, in

particular regarding exhaust gas cleaning. This has allowed us to maintain largely

constant the specific CO2 emissions related to manufactured silicon area at

largely constant levels.

The use of perfluorinated hydrocarbons at the Villach site is rigorously monitored

and reported on under the Austrian Ordinance for Industrial Gases (BGBl.II

Nr. 447/2002) and serves as a basis for the reporting required by that ordinance.

Based on the EMAS III Regulation, the emissions of CO2, CH4 (methane) and N2O (dinitrogen monoxide)

related to CO2 equivalents are additionally examined. Since the global warming potential of these

above-statedprocessgasesrelatedtoCO2 equivalents is again relatively low (only approximately

1 percent of total emissions in the fiscal year 2011/2012), and on the basis of the 2004/156/EC guideline,

thiscomponentwasnottakenintoaccountintheten-yeardiagramabove.Theconsumptionof

CO2-relevanthydrofluorocarbons(HFCs)asrefrigerant,whichaccountsforapproximately2.6%ofthe

given CO2 emissions, can also be disregarded.

The marked decline in direct CO2 emissions in the areas of heating and the cleaning of waste gases

(energy source natural gas) in the most recent years is a result of the changeover in site heating to

district heating starting in April 2011. The use of natural gas at the site is now limited to the operation

ofspecialwaste-gascleaningequipment,knownasburnboxes.Thishasresultedina76percentsaving

over the original natural gas consumption. The saving in CO2 is 3,560 t. The indirect CO2 emissions of

the district heating used amount to approximately 1,360 t, the CO2 equivalents for the electricity used

amount to approximately 49,130 t.

The reduced CO2 emissions from natural gas consumption compared with last fiscal year are again the

result of the change over from natural gas to district heating.

Noise

Infineonkeepsanupdatednoiseregisterandnoise-generatingmachines,suchascompressors,

refrigerating machines and heat pumps, are housed in closed supply rooms. This avoids any exposure of

accomplished with no significant impact on nearby neighbors.

4.3 Indirect Environmental Aspects

In addition to the direct environmental aspects, consideration also has to be paid

to the indirect aspects which might result in significant environmental impact over

which the organization has no or only limited control.

Energy-efficient products

One third of the energy consumed worldwide is electricity. The key energy source

of the future is therefore the efficient deployment of energy. An optimization in

electricity consumption is achieved by harnessing smart semiconductor technology:

Innovativechipsolutionsfine-tunecars,industrialplants,consumerand

household electronics to use less energy. And smart meters permit evaluation of

everykilowatthourwithto-the-minuteaccuracy,helpingtosaveelectricity.

Employing Infineon’s innovative semiconductor solutions means that electricity

comes from the socket with low losses. Our power electronics transmit energy

from the power station to the consumer efficiently, over thousands of kilometers.

From the solar cell, through the power grid, all the way to the washing machine

– Infineon’s power semiconductors, microcontrollers and sensors optimize the

entire energy chain.

Around 20% of global electricity consumption is used for lighting purposes.

A clear trend towards saving energy in lighting applications can be seen and

this needs correspondingly efficient light sources and electronic components.

Energy-savingproducts,e.g.fromtheCoolSETTM and CoolMOSTM family and from

theso-calledSmartBallastICproductrangeareproducedattheVillachsite.

Consumers benefit directly from the Infineon developments by saving energy costs.

Environmental Conduct

According to IMS Research data, Infineon Technologies has been the number 1 in the power

semiconductormarketfornineconsecutiveyears.AconsiderablepartoftheGroup-wideknow-how

inenergy-efficientpowersemiconductorsliesinAustria.

Thelatestsemiconductortechnologiesarevitalforadvancingelectromobilitywherepowersemi-

conductors attend to converting and distributing the electric current to the motor and other auxiliaries.

Semiconductor solutions from Infineon help to accelerate the technological breakthrough in all areas

of electromobility – costs, battery range, charging infrastructure and smart grid with all its aspects.

Infineon Austria is involved together with top industry, research and energy management companies

inthenationwide“AustrianMobilePower”platform.

These examples show that Infineon is committed to responsible use of natural resources not only in

production. The company also conducts ongoing research into more efficient use of the energy flows

in the semiconductors produced. Longer service life and improved recycling properties of the

products are factors defining the design of Infineon chips. Furthermore there is a development

manual specifically geared to environmentally sound product design.

Environmental Conduct of Contractors (Purchasing) and Outside Companies

Alongside the company’s process descriptions for environmentally sound procurement of services

and equipment, the suppliers’ environmental performance is appraised using a rating scheme.

Consideration is also paid to whether suppliers have an environmental management system.

Almost 90% of our site’s suppliers have a certified environmental management system in place.

Service providers and suppliers are also obliged to meet our standards in environmental protection,

safety and health, and in working and social conditions. To support them in this quest, the Infineon

Group has formulated principles which are based on our globally applicable “Business Conduct

Guidelines”andformthebasisforsuccessfulcollaborationwithoursuppliers.Inadditiontothese

principles and the environmental and occupational safety aspects in the master purchase agreements,

wehaveformulatedtherequirementstobemetbysuppliersinso-called“TechnicalTermsofDelivery”.

48

Logistics and Transport

Constant optimization in dispatch and close attention to certified or validated

logistics partners ensure environmentally benign transportation. Furthermore,

the company supports carpooling by an Intranet option allowing coordination of

carpooling for business travel to save fuel consumption and travel costs.

4.4 Environmental Aspects and Focal Points

In assessing the most important direct and indirect environmental aspects of

facilities, goals are defined and measures to prevent or mitigate significant envi-

ronmental impact are adopted.

Direct aspects that are under the company’s control are assessed using a

detailed analysis. Indirect environmental aspects are estimated qualitatively as

either the quality of the data is generally insufficient or the indirect aspects are

not under the control of the Villach site of Infineon Technologies Austria AG.

Summary: The assessment of the environmental aspects at Infineon Technologies

Austria AG on the Villach site, again confirmed the positive environmental

situation for the 2011/12 fiscal year. Focal areas were the recycling of chemicals

(solvents) and safety concepts.

5 Overview of Environmental Programs for 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12 and Environmental Goals for 2012/13

The environmental protection, safety, health and energy program at the Villach

site is founded on the occupational safety, health, environmental and energy

management goals of Infineon Technologies AG. On the basis of the respective

input and output analyses and the site aspects evaluated as being significant, the

package of goals and measures is reviewed, adjusted and established once a year.

In the process, the measures, schedules and parties responsible for the respective

projects are fixed.

In the Environmental Statements over the last years, Infineon Technologies Austria

AG has focused conceptually on disclosing major strategic projects in the field of

waste water, exhaust air and recycling. Consideration is given to the state of the

art in new equipment for innovation, increases in capacity and replacement invest-

ments. Extracts of environmentally relevant project activities which have

contributed significantly to improving the environmental performance of the site,

or will do so, are set out below.

Area Projects

Renewable energy carriers

Building on years of successful experience with heat exchangers and heat pumps,

Villach was again able to achieve savings in the amount of energy

required amounting to approximately 20% based on the total amount of energy used.

Energy-efficient site expansion

Building 07, a new building for research and development, is also supplied district

heating andcan be assigned to efficiency class B in accordance with OIB (Austrian

Institute of Construction Engineering) guideline no. 6. It has a specific heat demand

approximately 30% below the level currently required, and it is fitted with optimized

thermal insulation and solar protection glazing. In addition, a thermal solar energy

system for heating water was installed on the roof. The building therefore conforms

tostate-of-the-artstandardsrelatingtoenergydemand.

district heating

Changeover from natural gas to district heating: the Villach site heating system of

InfineonTechnologiesAustriaAGwasswitchedfromgastobiomass(wood)-fireddistrict

heating in the interest of using local renewable bio resources. This not only permits

optimization of the site’s carbon footprint, but also achieves greater independence

from the international gas market and hence increased security of supply.

The successful use of renewable energy sources (biogenic resources) is reflected in a

reduction in natural gas consumption of 76%.

Recycling

In the last three fiscal years, 15% to 30% of the DMF and PGMEA solvents could be

recycled through internal distillation measures.

The most recently reduced recycling rate results from increased demands on the

separationprocessesarisingfromtechnology-relatedprocess-specificimpurities.

Thus,two-thirdsoftheamountofrecycling,inparticularcyclopentanoneandNMP,

was processed on a contract distillation basis by a German materials recycling

company, with a yield of 50% to 65%.
