During the epidemic, Renesas Electronics dared to "go against the flow" and resumed work in an orderly manner

During the Spring Festival holiday, which was shrouded in the epidemic, the whole society pressed the "pause button". Now, as the resumption time has been determined one after another, some cities have begun to fully recover. However, under the impact of the epidemic, the semiconductor manufacturing industry has also been affected. The shutdown of factories has led to a tight supply chain and the supply volume cannot reach the usual level. As one of the representative companies under the epidemic, Renesas Electronics has always actively responded to the negative impact of the epidemic. Through a series of reasonable and effective protective measures, it has made every effort to ensure the safety and health of employees and the reasonable interests of customers, making the resumption of production more reasonable and orderly. Renesas Electronics' spirit of daring to "go against the flow" has also set a benchmark for the industry.

As a global semiconductor company, Renesas Electronics has factories all over the world, and the factory in Beijing officially resumed work on February 10. In order to resume work and production safely when the epidemic has not yet completely ended, Renesas Semiconductor (Beijing) established a research team in early February. According to the relevant instructions of the government, it has formulated a number of epidemic prevention measures with employee safety as the primary goal, while ensuring the health of employees, striving to minimize the adverse impact of the epidemic on production capacity.

Details determine success or failure. In the resuming work of Renesas Semiconductor (Beijing) Co., Ltd., various epidemic prevention measures are very complete. At the beginning of the resumption of work, in order to ensure the supply of masks and thermometers, Renesas Beijing Factory not only received help from government departments and communities, but also received multi-faceted assistance from overseas partners and Renesas headquarters. Renesas fully fulfilled its social responsibility to employees and customers, respected and actively cooperated with the anti-epidemic measures of the government and the community, and faced the difficulties of this epidemic together with all partners.

At the end of the Spring Festival holiday and the unclear stage of the epidemic, for employees who returned to work from remote areas but did not have private cars, the company sent special cars to pick them up to avoid the potential risks of taking public transportation; and for staff outside the production line, work-from-home and shift work systems were implemented in stages to minimize the risk of infection. With the arrival of the turning point of the epidemic, more employees went to work, and each employee who went to work was guaranteed to be issued masks for attendance, and disinfectant hand sanitizer was placed throughout the company and the factory. At the same time, Renesas Electronics chose staggered working hours to help employees shorten their commuting time. During the epidemic, Renesas Electronics converted all offline meetings to online modes to better guide employees to communicate without contact.

As a top priority for epidemic prevention, Renesas Semiconductor (Beijing) pays special attention to the epidemic prevention work in the employee cafeteria. When employees eat in the cafeteria, only one person sits at each table. When picking up meals and washing hands, people must always maintain a safe distance of more than 1 meter between each other. Renesas Electronics is constantly improving the details so that every employee can devote themselves to production work with confidence.

The East Japan Earthquake had a huge impact on various factories of the Renesas Group, but it also led to the development of a "Business Continuity Management System" to deal with sudden natural disasters, which played a huge role during the epidemic. The CEO of Renesas Electronics Group led a cross-departmental working group composed of heads of relevant departments to jointly respond to the various challenges of the epidemic in real time. It is precisely this kind of corporate spirit of preparing for a rainy day and responding agilely that Renesas Electronics can adapt to local conditions and propose effective response measures suitable for the current situation, avoiding the production suspension crisis caused by the epidemic and minimizing the adverse effects. In response to the epidemic, Renesas Semiconductor (Beijing) prepared a dedicated crisis management manual before resuming work, and ensured that it was distributed to every employee before starting work. In the future, Renesas Electronics will keep the manual updated and expand the manual to other production bases of Renesas Electronics.

As a trustworthy global semiconductor leader, Renesas Electronics has responded to various challenges in real time, quickly and appropriately, from senior leadership to grassroots implementation, and executed devilish details, perfectly fulfilling the company's social responsibilities to employees, customers, and the community, and also contributing to anti-epidemic actions and early resumption of production.
