ACM Research Announces the Publication of ACM Shanghai’s 2024 ESG Report

FREMONT, Calif., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACM Research, Inc. (“ACM”) (NASDAQ: ACMR), a leading supplier of wafer processing solutions for semiconductor and advanced packaging applications, today announced the availability of an English version of the 2024 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report prepared by its principal operating subsidiary ACM Research (Shanghai) Inc. (“ACM Shanghai”). The English version is now available on ACM’s website under the ESG Reports section. The original Chinese version of the report was published in February 2025 by ACM Shanghai on the Shanghai Stock Exchange website.

Dr. David Wang, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACM, said, “With the rise of AI to the forefront of consumers’ minds, we expect increased public attention on the environmental impact of semiconductor chip manufacturing. ACM is committed to improved ESG performance for both our internal operations, and in the tools we design. Innovations such as the Tahoe hybrid cleaning system, which significantly reduces sulfuric acid usage, reflect ACM’s dedication to enabling a circular economy and advancing a more sustainable semiconductor ecosystem.”

Highlights from ACM Shanghai’s 2024 ESG report include:

• Recorded key ESG metrics to establish a carbon reduction baseline for future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets.
• Established company target to achieve 75% pure water purification rate by 2030.
• Recycled 2,800 kg of plastic crates and 1,200 kg of wooden crates in 2024 under circular economy initiatives.
• ESG risk screening system for suppliers is under development for planned launch in 2025
• Achieved continued ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications across key facilities.
• ACM’s Ultra C Tahoe hybrid cleaning tool delivers enhanced cleaning performance with up to 75% reduction in chemical consumption. ACM estimates cost savings of up to $500,000 per year from sulfuric acid alone, with additional environmental and cost benefits from reduced sulfuric acid treatment and disposal requirements.
• ACM’s Frame Wafer cleaning tool effectively cleans semiconductor wafers during the post-debonding cleaning process. Its innovative solvent recovery system provides significant environmental and cost benefits, achieving nearly 100% solvent recovery and filtration efficiency, thereby reducing chemical consumption during production.
  
  

In addition, ACM reported that it completed its inaugural CDP Climate submission in 2024, establishing a foundation for enhanced climate risk disclosure and environmental transparency.
