GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ commitment to corporate
responsibility extends to ensuring that our
suppliers follow ethical and responsible business
practices. Our supply chain consists primarily of
manufacturers of highly specialized semiconductor
manufacturing equipment and materials, as well
as highly specialized business services. The vast
majority of our suppliers conduct their operations in
the United States, Germany and other EU countries,
Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan—countries with strong
regulatory systems defining the cornerstones of
responsible business.

The GLOBALFOUNDRIES 2016 Corporate Responsibility Report is our second comprehensive
sustainability report. GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ first Corporate Responsibility Report was published in 2014
and presented data from 2010 through 2013. That report fulfilled the promise made in our 2009 founding
commitment, Forging a New Path on Sustainable Business Practices. We continue our path forward with
this second report, using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines,
and self-declare the report to be prepared in accordance with the GRI G4 “Core” level.
Operational data presented in this report reflect calendar years 2014 and 2015. The data were
compiled from facilities owned or operated by GLOBALFOUNDRIES during the reporting period
and were validated using our internal processes.
A significant change in our company structure occurred in July 2015—the acquisition of IBM’s
Microelectronic Division, including two manufacturing facilities, now designated GLOBALFOUNDRIES
Fab 9 in Burlington, Vermont, and Fab 10 in East Fishkill, New York. Data for the second half of 2015 for
these two facilities are included in the reporting scope. Where practical, the data are measured directly
or obtained from external sources, such as utility providers.
We value and encourage your feedback on this report.
Please send comments or questions to [email protected].
