Global fab equipment spending for front-end facilities is expected to increase 20% to an all-time high of US$109 billion in 2022, according to SEMI. Taiwan is expected to lead with its spending climbing 52% on year to US$34 billion.

ESG reporting is not merely about numbers and data. It is also about storytelling. More particularly, communicating the company’s values to investors, and being able to provide a holistic view of what the company does allow investors to make informed decisions on whether or not they want to invest in this company.
