    Sustainability

    Report 2011

    Reader's Guide

    Report scope and profile

    This is a report to ST's stakeholders of how responsibly we have performed as a
    company in the calendar year 2011. It covers all STMicroelectronics' activities
    and sites, unless otherwise stated. You can find details of ST's structure and
    countries of operation in the chart on page 1. For other information you can
    access reports from previous years at www.st.com/sustainability

    Change in scope and materiality

    In 2011, following an extensive materiality exercise launched in 2010 and
    finalized in 2011, ST has refreshed its Sustainability strategy to link it to
    its business priorities, take into account its stakeholders' interests and
    expectations and better address its most material issues. ST has come out with
    22 top sustainability issues that will determine our way forward and
    contribution to Sustainable Development at worldwide level. This is why from
    this year, we have decided to review the format of this annual Sustainability
    report to align it with this new strategy and to report ST's performance
    adequately.

    In 2011, based on this exercise we precisely defined for each top issue, not
    only company objectives but also the relevant roles and responsibilities to
    ensure effective deployment of this strategy. In order to conduct this strategy
    review exercise, we closely worked with top management 'contributors' to define
    qualitative and quantitative sustainability objectives for each identified
    domain and we have reviewed all objectives with ST's Vice Presidents in order to
    get their validation.

    This new sustainability strategy has been officially validated by ST's President
    and CEO, Carlo Bozotti.

    On top of this exercise:

    o we took into account spontaneous feedback (email, web requests);

    o we have conducted high-level benchmarking;

    o we have kept track of, and tried to anticipate, the rules and regulations
    being put in place at worldwide level.

    Please note that you will find ST's detailed Disclosure on Management Approach
    for each section on the web. See more on
    www.st.com/stonline/company/sd/index.htm

    Accessibility

    This Sustainability report presents STMicroelectronics' Sustainability
    performance, describing our company strategy and illustrating it with concrete
    examples to highlight our performance and to share the challenges we may face at
    ST's group-wide level but also while implementing sustainability into our daily
    activities.

    The report is published in English and it is accessible on the web in PDF format
    at www.st.com/sustainability along with past reports. Printed copies are also
    available on request.

    Assurance

    In 2011 as we were in a transition year while officially launching ST's new
    Sustainability strategy, our priority was to ensure the relevancy and robustness
    of the defined objectives.

    Based on the launch of this new strategy, we are currently reviewing all company
    indicators  in  order  to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and relevancy in
    order  to  more accurately describe ST's performance and follow it over the next
    years.

    This exercise requires us to review hundreds of indicators in all fields, to
    identify the ones to be kept, the ones to be improved and the ones to be
    discontinued.

    This is why for the year 2011 we have decided not to conduct an official process
    of review and validation of data reporting. Even during this transition year, we
    have tried to ensure continuity and published indicators where possible.

    Instead, we have taken the decision to launch the evaluations of three of our
    major sites versus the ISO 26000 standard guide customized to align with ST's
    new sustainability strategy and reflect the situation at its launch of it.

    We opted for the Det Norske Veritas methodology that allowed us go beyond normal
    evaluation based evidence checking. Here we decided to launch evaluations based
    on employees' perception of ST's sustainability engagement and effective
    deployment. These evaluations were conducted at three of our major manufacturing
    sites through employees' interviews (with the participation of around 50
    employees overall).

    We will communicate more deeply on these evaluations in next years' report.

    This  process  is described by DNV with an official statement on page 68 of this
    report.

    The Global Compact We Support

    Adherence to GRI and the UN Global Compact

    This report is prepared and presented in accordance with the 2006 Global
    Reporting

    (GRI) G3 Guidelines.

    We have self-declared an A application level which has been confirmed by GRI. If
    G3 indicators are not applicable or relevant to us we explain why in the text or
    in the indicator index available online.

    ST has been a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) since 2000,
    which commits it to fulfilling the ten principles of the UNGC. This report
    describes actions we have taken to implement these principles, and serves as our
    Communication on Progress.

    On  page  67,  there  is an index that references GRI indicators, Global Compact
    Principles and ISO 26000 core subjects that can be found in this report.

    Indicators and use of symbols

    In previous years, we used symbols to disclose a complete and accurate picture
    of our performance and identified a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
    that were published on a dedicated page.

    For 2011, following what has been described in the Assurance section above, we
    have decided not to present the level of achievement of ST's objectives on top
    sustainability issues as we were in a transition period, officially launching
    these objectives in the company and starting to follow our performance versus
    these objectives.

    From next year, we will communicate the level of achievement for each defined
    objective.

    Give us your feedback

    We are committed to improving both our sustainability performance and the ways
    we communicate with our stakeholders. We encourage contributions and debate from
    all stakeholders and welcome feedback on the content and presentation of this
    report - as well as suggestions for next year. In order to get your feedback, we
    have developed an online form, available at

    Foreword by
    Carlo Bozotti,
    President and Chief Executive Officer

    In a year characterized by volatile economic, social and market environments,
    compounded by the unfortunate natural disasters in Japan and Thailand,
    sustainability continued to be a priority at ST. Indeed, our resilience and
    ability to overcome the difficult and unpredictable conditions resulted, in
    part, from the foundation we've built through our long-standing dedication to
    Sustainable Excellence and, in particular, our strong focus on People and
    Innovation. We truly believe that sustainability delivers a great return and
    makes a vital contribution to our performance. At ST, we have always recognized
    that our people are the foundation of our company. During 2011 we continued to
    make excellent progress in the field of Environment, Health and Safety (EHS). In
    fact, recordable cases and severity rates have declined by 69% and 84%
    respectively since 2002, further consolidating our position among the industry
    leaders. In addition, the Company Health Plan continued to expand towards our
    aim that 100% of employees will have benefitted from it by the end of 2013: in
    2011 a total of 86,500 exams and tests were performed at all our sites, covering
    83% of our employees.

    In addition to health and safety, we enhanced key programs to further strengthen
    our ST management culture, develop future leaders, and identify and reward the
    innovation and creativity that keeps us at the forefront of our industry in
    technologies and products.

    These products, especially "Responsible Products(1)", are at the heart of our
    business. To sharpen our focus in 2011, we started our internal STAR initiative,
    classifying all new products into relevant environmental and social categories
    such as energy saving and healthcare. The resulting "STAR" rating enables us to
    identify and track more effectively those products that contribute to a more
    sustainable world. We also aim to have 100% of our new devices eco-designed by
    2015. We have made significant progress in developing in-house eco-design tools
    well-suited to the complexity of our products. To this end, three working groups
    are now focused on the integration of environmental parameters in technology and
    product design, greener material selection and greener packaging.

    With its keen awareness of environmental and ethical issues, ST has long paid
    special attention to managing chemicals and minerals. In 2011, through our
    participation in the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global
    e-Sustainability Initiative, we reinforced our efforts to ensure that no
    conflict minerals enter our supply chain by deploying the newly created Due
    Diligence Tool for 100% of our material suppliers and Front-end and Back-end
    subcontractors. This topic now represents almost half of our customers' social
    and ethical requirements and, because of our proactive approach, we've
    maintained very strong customer satisfaction levels in this area.

    In the wider environmental field, we continued to progress on many fronts. For
    example, in 2011, we recycled more than 40% of water used, and one of our sites
    in Italy received an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Sustainable
    Electronics Manufacturing Working Group. Moreover, more than 90% of waste
    generated at our facilities was recycled and reused, while less than 3% was sent
    to landfill.

    In addition to these environmental efforts, we also strengthened our broader
    community involvement. We continued efforts to bridge the digital divide through
    our ST Foundation with our Digital Unify program. By the end of 2011, ST
    volunteers had trained over 148,000 people throughout the world since the
    program's inception. We also enlarged the scope of our educational activities by
    joining the Global Enterprise Project, a new three-year initiative led by the
    European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) which gives young people the
    opportunity to develop greater understanding about doing business globally while
    acquiring the skills required to succeed in today's knowledge-based economy.

    Since our company's creation in 1987, the semiconductor industry has undergone
    significant changes. In fact, due to its evergrowing pervasiveness, electronics
    today is more and more an important answer to people's growing awareness of, and
    need for, richer experiences and social improvement. The semiconductor industry
    is increasingly driven by the way people live and what they expect technology to
    bring to their lives, both in enhancing the quality of the way they work, learn,
    interact and relax and in helping to address major societal challenges in energy
    saving, healthcare and security. In other words, the pursuit of what we at ST
    call "life. augmented". In our 25th year of operation, we are especially proud
    of the contributions our innovative solutions make to all of these areas and we
    continue in our determination to lead by example in the pursuit of enriching
    sustainable business.

    President and CEO

    This report has been prepared following the GRI G3 Guidelines. It represents a
    balanced and reasonable presentation of our organization's economic,
    environmental and social performance.

    It also demonstrates our commitment to the UN Global Compact, to which we have
    been a signatory since 2000.

    Company

    Materiality and
    Sustainability Strategy

    In 2011, following an extensive materiality exercise launched in 2010 and
    finalized in 2011, ST has refreshed its Sustainability strategy to link it with
    business priorities, take into account stakeholders' interests and expectations
    and to focus on managing our most material issues. This exercise has identified
    22 top sustainability issues that are related to our industry sector and that
    reflect our own sustainability performance.

    This Sustainability strategy will determine our way forward and our contribution
    to worldwide Sustainable Development over the next three years.

    In 2011, we worked closely with senior management and executives on each top
    sustainability issue to define:

    o the global context i.e. trends and regulation etc., behind each issue

    o identified risks and opportunities

    o qualitative and quantitative sustainability objectives

    o roles and responsibilities of owners and contributors for each top issue

    For each identified area, we validated all objectives with ST's Vice Presidents.
    The strategy was then officially approved by ST's President and CEO, Carlo
    Bozotti.

    Interview with
    Tjerk
    Hooghiemstra,
    Executive Vice
    President, Chief
    Administrative
    Officer

    2011 has been a challenging year from an economic point of view, did this impact
    on your commitments towards sustainability?

    The commitment of ST to sustainability is deeply rooted in our ways of working.
    We have recognized the value of sustainability since the early years of the
    existence of the company and have remained committed during multiple business
    cycles which are characteristic for our industry. So it is clear that the
    economic challenges do not affect our commitment.

    According to you, what are ST's main strengths in terms of sustainability?

    Our Decalogue is the compass for our ongoing progress towards ever higher levels
    of performance on the way we sustainably run our business and despite a
    challenging 2011 year, we have made solid progress as this report describes.
    With the launch of new products which have been specifically developed to
    support the environment through for instance lower energy consumption in cars,
    we take our commitment to sustainability to a totally new level. Indeed
    semiconductor technology has a crucial role to play in global sustainability
    challenges. Considering global warming, if state-of-the-art semiconductor
    technologies and electronics topologies were universally adopted, the world
    could reduce energy consumption in traditional applications by around 27%! For
    example, in 2011, we have extended our Power MOSFET Family to bring energysaving
    advantages to solar, telecom and consumer applications and also developed new
    software tools for STM32 microcontrollers to simplify design and speed up
    development of energy-saving intelligent motor drives for applications such as
    white goods, air conditioners, industrial automation, power tools and fitness
    equipment.

    With these new products, sustainability becomes the very objective of our
    offering to the market. This excites many people in ST and I am also very proud
    of it. It's a true proof point of life.augmented, our new brand promise.

    Do you think sustainability can be seen as a competitive advantage for ST? Yes,
    certainly. I am convinced that for all stakeholder groups: employees (and
    potential ones), customers, investors, analysts, suppliers, academic community,
    etc., it is clear that the long-standing commitment of ST to all aspects of
    sustainability are true and deep-rooted values of the company. We were one of
    the first multinational companies embracing sustainability and thus are the
    pioneers in this field.

    And what are the next challenges to maintain this competitive advantage? As with
    all aspects of competitiveness, it is a matter of comparative performance versus
    other companies. By now, most international companies have launched and deployed
    comprehensive sustainability programs. I believe this competition is healthy. It
    keeps everybody on their toes and pulls us all up which can only be good for
    society and our planet at large!

    Interview with
    Alain Denielle,
    Corporate
    Sustainable
    Development Group
    Vice President

    2011 has been an eventful year in terms of sustainability, what were your
    highlights?

    The main event is certainly the launch of our refreshed Sustainability strategy
    that has involved more than 30 experts throughout the company to define SMART(1)
    objectives and appropriate levels of deployment. We have taken this opportunity
    to reinforce the governance of our sustainability management with the
    description of clear roles and responsibilities for key strategic players to
    confirm we reach our targets. We put particular emphasis on the role of our
    Sustainable Excellence Coordinators to confirm that their management is fully
    supportive of their mission and will dedicate enough time and resources to their
    sustainability activities. We now have a robust Sustainable Excellence community
    with coordinators at local, regional and organizational levels. We will also
    maintain our expert network that provides guidance and advice, follows results,
    helps overcome challenges, reviews objectives etc.

    We also made good progress in our commitment to the Electronic Industry
    Citizenship Coalition program. As part of our strategy, we have proactively
    defined a comprehensive internal and third party audit road map for our Asian
    and Backend manufacturing sites. After one year, we have already seen concrete
    positive outcomes from this program, as detailed in the Labor Rights and Social
    Issues pages of this report. Our objective is also to capitalize on our strong
    expertise in management systems for quality, environment, health and safety
    domains and to strengthen our social and ethics management. We are doing the
    same across other domains like chemicals, greenhouse gases emissions and energy
    management. I am pleased that ST is moving ahead on this with ongoing deployment
    of several standards; ISO 51000, ISO 16464 and IECQ08000 HSPM.

    Where do you think ST still has potential for improvement?

    Actually in 2011 ST has not been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index
    (DJSI), for the first time after 12 continuous years of inclusion. This news has
    really been a warning to ST. We did not expect that we would fall out of the
    DJSI, one of the main Socially Responsible Investment indices. However, I do
    believe that it is important to accept such challenges from the external world
    to question ourselves and react accordingly. So we turned this event into a
    great opportunity to strongly reaffirm our commitment to sustainability. A
    multi-disciplinary task force has been formed to address our main areas for
    improvement: risk & crisis management, innovation management, product
    stewardship, water related risks, climate strategy, human capital development
    and corporate citizenship & philanthropy.

    With the support of ST's top management, we have launched several projects and
    initiatives that will be deployed in 2012 to make progress on these identified
    domains. On Product Stewardship we will keep on deploying our eco-design road
    map and new Responsible Product program not only to further progress on
    environmental aspects but also to build a major competitive advantage for ST.

    I am also convinced that we need to maintain our efforts and a key commitment in
    other domains where we have positive results. A good example here is safety;
    despite our strong and long-term expertise, we need to keep on investing,
    conducting audits and engaging ST managers to maintain our excellence because we
    cannot make any compromises on this subject.

    And how are you ensuring that these commitments match our stakeholders'
    expectations?

    Indeed, I feel it is vital to be able to collect our stakeholders' feedback, and
    engage with them. It was also identified as one path for improvement in ST and
    we have initiated several actions to address this. Our 2011 Sustainability
    report in its new format is one example with several contributions from
    stakeholders who provide their views on our engagement and results.

    I do want that we, Corporate Sustainable Development group, and other
    organizations in ST, become more in touch with our stakeholders through
    participation in multi-stakeholder events because it is essential to sound out
    sustainability trends and be able to project ST into the future. In 2012, we
    will also launch formal stakeholder engagement processes at corporate and local
    levels, and use this feedback to adjust our sustainability objectives and
    programs.

    On top of this, we are of course continually in contact with our main
    stakeholders. For example, we are increasingly partnering with our customers and
    suppliers on subjects not directly related to mainstream business such as
    conflict minerals, product lifecycle assessment, labor rights etc.

    And most importantly, we have taken the opportunity of our refreshed
    sustainability strategy deployment to evaluate our employees' perception of ST's
    engagement towards sustainability, using the ISO 26000 guidelines(2). The
    results of this analysis will help us better respond to the expectations of this
    primary stakeholder group.

    And what about your expectations for ST in terms of sustainability?

    ST has a real and long-term commitment to sustainability. It is really part of
    our DNA and we owe this strong engagement to several formal networks of experts
    that ensure sites' involvement in this sustainability journey but most
    importantly to all our employees. So my expectation is that ST continues to be,
    and to be recognized as, a worldwide leader in sustainability.

    Company

    Governance

    STMicroelectronics is registered in the Netherlands and subject to the Dutch
    Corporate Governance Code. We are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),
    Euronext Paris and the Borsa Italiana in Milan. Our policies and practices are
    designed not only to meet all our statutory requirements but also to incorporate
    international best practices. The company was formed in 1987 as a result of a
    decision by Thomson-CSF (now Thales) and STET (now Telecom Italia S.p.a) to
    combine their semiconductor businesses and enter into a shareholder
    agreement(1).

    Our Corporate
    Governance Structure

    In accordance with Dutch law, our management is entrusted to the Managing Board
    under the supervision of our Supervisory Board. Carlo Bozotti is currently the
    sole member of our Managing Board with the function of President and Chief
    Executive Officer. In 2011, the Supervisory Board was chaired by an independent,
    nonexecutive chairperson, Didier Lombard. Prior to May 3, 2011, the Chairman of
    the Supervisory Board was Antonino Turicchi, who had previously served on the ST
    Supervisory Board as a member. Members of our Managing Board and Supervisory
    Board are appointed and dismissed by our shareholders. I 4.1 I 4.2 I

    On March 30, 2011, the French Fonds Strategique d'Investissement (FSI) acquired
    Areva's indirect interest in STMicroelectronics N.V., representing 10.9% of
    STMicroelectronics N.V.'s share capital, and signed a deed of adherence to the
    shareholders' agreement relating to ST Holding N.V.

    Our corporate governance policies and practices are outlined in our Corporate
    Governance Charter. This is available on our website, along with our Supervisory
    Board Charter, in the Corporate Governance section at http://investors.st.com.
    Full details about the composition of the Committees, individual remuneration
    and meeting frequency of our Supervisory Board are provided in the report of our
    Supervisory Board on pages 85 and 99 of our Annual Report, which can be
    downloaded at http://investors.st.com.

    Sustainability is managed within ST as a fully integrated element of our
    governance and operations. As such, it is not a separate agenda item for either
    the Supervisory Board or Managing Board. Instead, specific aspects of
    sustainability are addressed where required. No specific social, environmental
    or ethical topics were formally raised by ST's shareholders during 2011. I 4.4 I

    Supervisory Board

    Our Supervisory Board advises our Managing Board and is responsible for
    supervising the policies pursued by our Managing Board and the general course of
    our affairs and business. Our Supervisory Board has adopted criteria to assess
    the independence of its members in accordance with corporate governance listing
    standards of the New York Stock Exchange and is responsible for managing
    potential or reported conflicts of interest between the company and its Board
    members. I 4.6 I

    Our Supervisory Board is carefully selected based upon the combined experience
    and expertise of its members. The number and identity of our Supervisory Board
    members are approved at ST's General Shareholders' Meeting, based on a majority
    vote. Our Supervisory Board is assisted by a Secretariat whose responsibilities
    include ensuring the continuing education and training of Supervisory Board
    members. I 4.4 I 4.10 I

    1/ Details of the agreement and major shareholders can be found on page 106 of
    ST's Annual Report (Form-20F).

    The Supervisory Board has determined the following independence criteria for its
    members, based on the evaluations by an ad-hoc committee: Supervisory Board
    members must not have any material relationship with STMicroelectronics N.V., or
    any of our consolidated subsidiaries, or our management. A <<material
    relationship>> can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal,
    accounting, charitable or familial relationships, among others, but does not
    include a relationship with direct or indirect shareholders.

    Certain of our Supervisory Board members, as disclosed in their biographies in
    our various communication documents, have existing relationships or past
    relationships with FSI, CEA and the Italian Ministry of the Economy and Finance,
    who are currently parties to the ST Holding Shareholders' Agreement as well as
    with ST Holding or ST Holding II, our major shareholder or with other parties
    that are among our suppliers, customers or technology partners.

    The Supervisory Board met 14 times in 2011. It is advised by four Non-Executive
    Committees, comprising members of our Supervisory Board and attended, when
    deemed necessary by the Committees, by members of the management team and/ or by
    our auditors, PWC, and outside legal counsel.

    Executive Officers

    Our executive officers support our Managing Board in its management of the
    company, without prejudice to our Managing Board's ultimate responsibility. As
    of March 2012, our organizational chart is as follows:

    Zoom on Internal Audit

    As of December 2010, the Head of Internal Audit has reported directly to the
    (non-executive) Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Head of Internal Audit
    attends all Audit Committee meetings and has direct interactions with the
    Chairman of the Audit Committee throughout the year. In addition, the Head of
    Internal Audit attends quarterly meetings of the executive management.

    The current functional reporting line and the practices now in place ensure the
    Head of Internal Audit the appropriate level of organizational independence and
    unrestricted access to executive management and the Board.

    This reporting approach is in line with standards defined by leading
    international organizations e.g. The Institute of Internal Auditors.

    Philippe Lambinet and Carmelo Papa.

    New Nomination
    at Board Level

    The nomination of Martine Verluyten to the company's Supervisory Board, means
    that, for the first time in the history of the company, the Board has a female
    member. Martine Verluyten's accredited financial background will be of great
    benefit as she is poised to replace the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Tom de
    Waard. The company looks forward to having her on board, which was confirmed at
    the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on May 30, 2012, in Amsterdam.

    ST-Ericsson

    The success of the ST-Ericsson joint venture is an important element in order
    for ST to achieve its leadership in the multimedia convergence market. To
    strengthen our support of STEricsson, from December 1, 2011, Didier Lamouche,
    has been nominated President and Chief Executive Officer of ST-Ericsson. Carlo
    Ferro, Chief Financial Officer of ST, has been temporarily assigned to
    ST-Ericsson as its Chief Operating Officer from February 20, 2012, working
    closely with Didier Lamouche and the ST-Ericsson team to achieve excellence in
    execution, leadership and sustainable profitability.

    Financial and Extra-financial Performance

    ST's financial performance

    In 2011, the semiconductor industry was characterized by a solid first half,
    while there was a significant slowdown in the later part of the year; as a
    result the total market grew only marginally in 2011 after the rebound
    registered in 2010.

    This same year, our wholly owned businesses delivered a solid performance
    throughout the year. They delivered revenues of US$ 8.2bn and an operating
    margin of above 11.4%.

    In 2010, the revenues for our wholly-owned businesses were US$ 8.1bn with an
    operating margin of slightly above 13%. Moreover, we expected to see strong
    growth during 2011 in two of our key strategic product areas and we are
    particularly proud of our achievements there. Our MEMS sales nearly doubled to
    over US$ 600m. Our automotive business reported record revenues, with sales up
    18% during 2011, on top of sales growth of over 40% during 2010. In both areas,
    revenue growth was also accompanied by a significant expansion of the operating
    profitability of these product groups.

    We also continued to maintain a strong financial position and sharp focus on
    capital management. Exiting the year, our financial resources totaled US$ 2.3bn
    and our net financial position was about US$ 1.17bn, as adjusted, excluding the
    US$ 400m loan provided by our partner to fund ST-Ericsson SA. As anticipated, we
    saw an improvement in the fourth quarter in inventory levels and inventory turns
    and capital expenditures returned to much lower levels as planned.

    ST's extra-financial performance

    ST pursues a strategy of open disclosure of its sustainability management, risks
    and performance. Our annual Sustainability Report is our major means of
    reporting the company's sustainability achievements and challenges to our
    stakeholders, including the investment and Socially Responsible Investment (SRI)
    communities. We also respond directly to requests from rating agencies and
    extra-financial analysts.

    In 2011, ST was included in nine of the major sustainability indexes (See table)
    but fell out of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, World and STOXX (Europe).
    In response to this, we have closely analyzed our performance and have
    identified opportunities to further strengthen a number of key sustainability
    areas. Many of these have already been identified in our new Sustainability
    strategy where we have defined some precise objectives. The format of this
    annual Sustainability Report is aligned to this new strategy.

    ST's Sustainability Mission is "to be recognized as world leader in innovation
    for sustainable development through excellence in our people, our products, the
    environment and the community." In order to remain a world leader we need to
    proactively focus on our most material issues, listen and respond to our
    stakeholders' expectations and so it is important that we respond to the
    evolving requirements of the external world.

    We have maintained a strong position in the remaining sustainability indices and
    were included in the Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies in the World (ranked
    83/100 in 2011). ST was also classified as B Prime by the OEKOM rating agency
    which places us amongst the world's best companies in the sector.

    Our People

    Our People

    Recruitment, Learning
    & Development

    Many specific skill-sets are needed to support ST's strategic objectives and
    technical requirements. ST carefully anticipates skill requirements and plans
    the matching of skills with the needs of the business. We provide our employees
    with opportunities to experience life-long learning through professional
    development and career evolution.

    Why are recruitment, learning
    and development key for ST?

    High technology companies operate in very competitive environments at the
    leading-edge of innovation. The ability to attract, develop and retain talents
    is a key success factor and so one objective of ST People Development and
    Learning Organizations is to ensure the company's skills profiles are
    anticipated and fulfilled. This is achieved through sophisticated recruitment,
    integration and personal development. Another objective is to support the
    company in increasing its profitability and productivity through programs and
    initiatives that enhance people performance.

    Meeting both employee
    and company needs

    ST is constantly strengthening aspects of its People management in order to
    achieve its long-term vision; attracting and integrating new talent into the
    business, developing and engaging employees, building competitive advantage and
    attaining high performance:

    o ST has recently launched a new brand that, under "life.augmented" reinforces
    its positioning as an innovative company that is committed and contributes to
    enhanced social and environmental capital.

    o To further improve employee performance, annual appraisals assess individual
    objectives, professional competencies and behaviors and also how the employee
    fulfills the accountabilities of the job. They provide the opportunity for
    employees and managers to discuss career direction and develop corresponding
    personal development plans.

    o In complement, the people review process is deployed to exempts population in
    order to assess employee potential, identify talent pools and key resources and
    then define their professional development plans (new skills, potential career
    direction, internal mobility, succession ) in respect to the future organization
    needs. This is a key component of our strategic staffing program and has a
    strong influence on the company's mid- and long-term success.

    o To facilitate personal development, ST has developed programs that are
    dedicated to specific populations and needs. These include ST leadership model
    for managers (See page 15), development boosters for high performers in phase of
    career growth, coaching, mentoring, 360(degree) assessments and tutoring for
    experts. Expertise management has been a key focus in 2011. We have built a
    strong technical career path and created local, regional and corporate Technical
    Advisory Committees to identify, recognize and assist experts who have the key
    skills and experience necessary to meet ST's business needs.

    ST's Learning Organization supports these programs by addressing the needs of:

    o Organizations and sites, to achieve annual objectives and deploy their
    strategy;

    o Managers and employees, to improve their competences and performance, and to
    develop their long-term employability.

    ST's approach to learning has been reinforced to more automatically assess these
    needs and then turn them into appropriate learning offer and deployment.
    Learning is a key tool to enhance individual and organizational performance, so
    a key corporate objective is to ensure that every year, more than 50% of
    employees have developed and engaged in a development plan. It is also important
    that we measure the success and impact of these people development and learning
    programs on quality, employees and company performance.

    Focus on ST Japan and Korea's deployment of Sales and Marketing Learning Program

    From 2009, ST deployed FutureReady, a comprehensive learning program, to enhance
    the way we sell and market our products. ST Japan and Korea (J&K) Region has
    been exemplary in the deployment of this program, considering learning as a
    sales and marketing process with:

    o Managers and employees as Customers who define their needs in terms of skills

    o Training courses as Products that respond to the above needs

    o Corporate Learning organization as Marketers who designs the products

    o Human Resources (HR) as Sales who compile the customers' needs for the
    marketers and promote the products to the customers.

    ST J&K began with an address by the region's Executive Vice President, Marco
    Cassis, who personally explained the importance of the program to employees and
    asked them to participate. Subsequent to this launch, local HR played a key
    role, interacting with managers to assess their needs and to define a
    FutureReady three-year roadmap.

    Since the launch, HR have remained in contact with the managers and employees
    involved in the program and also with Corporate Learning in order to collect
    feedback, fine tune the program and review the implementation roadmap. ST J&K
    Region is therefore benefiting from a learning plan that is always consistent
    with the needs of the company, its managers and its employees. Corporate
    Learning ensures that company expectations and needs are taken into account when
    building and updating these learning programs.

    Employees' feedback on the effectiveness of the FutureReady course is obtained
    after each learning session. Then the overall impact of the course is later
    assessed through managers' feedback. Employees' development needs are further
    defined during Annual Employee Performance Appraisals. See page 12.

    This feedback provides the opportunity to check the roadmap in terms of the
    employee population covered and the type of deployment modes used. This
    continuous improvement virtuous cycle is the best way to make learning a key
    performance tool and is in line with ST's Corporate Learning approach.

    tutor and attended the Technical Tutoring training to acquire a new set of
    skills to transfer my expertise to others. I'm convinced that the Tutoring
    Program will help us to transfer expertise more quickly, systematically and
    efficiently. The advantage for ST is to have a larger pool of experts to rely
    on. As for me, I was glad to be entrusted with the responsibility to share my
    expertise."

    ST wants to set up a competitive and attractive internal market to provide
    employees with internal perspective, thus engaging and retaining them; and
    manager with broader opportunities for recruiting people with ST adequate
    experience and competences. In order to reach our objective, ST Internal
    Mobility policy and related practices will be reviewed in 2012.

    In 2011, we have upgraded our ePA process, including our way to collect
    information on development plans and their associated standards. With its new
    Leadership Model, ST is raising managers' awareness on the importance of people
    development through specific communication and training.

    * It refers to employees who hold positions normally requiring graduate or
    post-graduate education and who are not eligible for overtime compensation.

    ST objectives

    o Increase the percentage of open positions for exempts(1) filled by internal
    candidates by 5% per year (compared with a 2010 baseline), with a long
    term-target of 60%

    o Ensure that more than 50% of employees have a development plan, linked to
    their annual performance

    o Increase employee retention - percentage of employees with more than two years
    service

    o Further align ST's learning with its business strategy to contribute to
    company transformation, employee productivity and being an 'employer of choice'

    Our People

    Employee Engagement

    ST is committed to employee engagement to help them understand ST's strategy and
    future direction as a business, how they can contribute to the company's
    success, and to motivate them to make this contribution.

    Why is employee engagement
    key for ST?

    The semiconductor industry faces several
    employment challenges(1):

    o it requires highly qualified
    and experienced employees;
    o high pace of innovation;
    o it is a cyclical business;
    o there is a significant employee turnover
    in some Asian countries.

    Engaged employees can help overcome these challenges. According to research,
    "employees who are committed perform 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave
    the organization(2)".

    ST's aim is to actively engage with all its employees to help them develop their
    potential. Since its inception, ST has been monitoring employees' morale through
    regular opinion and engagement surveys. The feedback provides a unique insight
    that enables constant improvement of the working environment and management
    effectiveness.

    Continued commitment to
    increasing employee engagement

    In a recent communication, ST Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative
    Officer, Tjerk Hooghiemstra, remarked that "Employee engagement is everybody's
    business". For employees it is about helping and supporting your colleagues,
    being a good team player and being proud of their work. For managers, engagement
    means being constantly supportive to their team and encouraging professional
    growth.

    For the past four years, ST has been using an employee engagement model that
    evaluates four aspects:

    o Discretionary Effort: employees' willingness to exceed expectations or their
    objectives; o Intent to Stay: employees' commitment to further their career with
    ST; o Emotional Commitment: the extent to which employees value, enjoy and
    believe in their jobs, colleagues, managers, and organizations; o Rational
    Commitment: the extent to which employees feel that their managers, teams,
    departments or the company itself provide financial, developmental or
    professional rewards.

    In 2011, 86% of our employees participated in the survey; ST's overall
    engagement scores decreased by 1%, but still outperformed the benchmark, an
    aggregate of companies with similar industry profiles and geographies, which
    declined by 5% during the same period.

    In a very difficult economic climate, two key areas where ST improved are
    manager performance and the link between employees' daily jobs and ST's
    strategy. Our managers were better evaluated for their leadership skills and
    their ability to manage their teams and people performance; they were able to
    describe how individual employee objectives are tied to the company priorities
    and they were supported in their action by increasingly dynamic and relevant
    internal communications.

    As a consequence, the Discretionary Effort score improved by 2% compared to last
    year. The number of employees willing to deliver the highest levels of
    discretionary effort has progressively increased from 3.8% in 2008, to 6.6% in
    2010 and to 10.8% in 2011.

    In 2011, all organizations prepared and communicated action plans. Human
    Resources professionals at every level of the organization facilitated the
    process, providing managers with the necessary support to communicate results
    and implement initiatives. In 2012, the company will maintain its progress in
    this direction, incorporating two new areas: career development and customer
    focus.

    2/ Driving Performance and Retention through Employee
    Engagement, Corporate Leadership Council (2004)
    ST objectives
    o Annually increase the percentage
    of employees who demonstrate
    the highest level of discretionary
    effort
    o Company-wide action planning in
    response to engagement surveys
    to address key issues
    o Increase ST employee engagement
    relative to the benchmark

    ST's leadership model unites
    leaders under a common
    leadership 'banner'

    A new program launched
    by People Development
    & Learning in 2011

    To support managers in their role, in 2011 ST developed a leadership model that
    describes the qualities needed at ST to be recognized as a leader with the
    ability to provide solutions to increasingly complex challenges, to develop a
    sense of belonging and to stimulate engagement amongst their team members.

    This model is also beneficial for the company because it unites leaders across
    ST around a common managerial language and culture, creating the basis for
    better organizational performance.

    ST's leadership model is founded on 15 behavioral competencies, arranged into
    five dimensions, each defined through three drivers. This model has become part
    of our performance appraisal system to support leadership development in
    relation with a complete set of tools such as a dedicated leadership course
    roadmap as well as a specific 360(degree) assessment.

    Articulate and communicate a compelling vision
    o Develop a vision that fits with the company direction;
    o Enthuse people by making them feel part of the vision;
    o Plan for both the long- as well as the short-term.
    Align actions to ST's strategy and deliver results
    o Act as an ambassador for ST's values and goals;
    o Implement solid processes for deployment and execution;
    o Demonstrate personal responsibility and commitment to deliver results.
    Foster a climate of entrepreneurship
    o Foster thoughtful risk-taking;
    o Empower people and ensure accountability;
    o Promote excellence, agility and a can-do spirit to win.
    Drive innovation with a forward-sensing mindset
    o Anticipate markets and technological opportunities;
    o Encourage a positive, open-minded and challenging attitude;
    o Focus to gain speed.
    Care for people growth and engagement
    o Build engaged and diverse teams;
    o Assess people accurately and take action accordingly;
    o Advance professional depth.

    "I knew about the latest survey results in the quarterly Management
    Communication Meeting and in a talk with my boss. One action launched after the
    previous survey that comes to my mind is the "Programma 2%", a campaign that
    encourages workers to make suggestions to reduce waste and increase quality.
    This campaign is a way to hear the opinions of the workers who are the ones that
    deal on-site with production problems. I think another action that contributes
    to employee engagement, is the recognition of employees' suggestions during our
    Management Communication Meetings, in the presence of the entire site
    organization."

    "The overall results of the 2011 Engagement Survey were shared during the
    Production Control Quarterly Forum. My manager and the HR manager then organized
    a sharing session, dedicated to the presentation of my team results. This
    session was also the opportunity for us to ask questions and get clarification.
    In response to these last two years' surveys, I feel that there has been more
    effort to communicate with the people at our site. After the 2010 survey, within
    my department, one-on-one sessions were initiated by my manager to provide
    dedicated time to address important work-related issues."

    Global Diversity
    & Equal Opportunities

    ST is committed to ensuring equal opportunities and appropriate representation
    at all levels of the organization, including dimensions such as gender, age,
    race, disability and nationality.

    Why is ST committed to global diversity and equal opportunity?

    Companies are increasingly witnessing the added-value of diversity in many ways:

    o "People with disabilities are productive, reliable employees who bring
    benefits to the workplace"(1)

    o "Senior employees have key technical competences and offer long-term
    experience to young employees and to the company at large."(2)

    "Greater diversity in organizations, including more women, leads to higher
    performing teams and better business results" stated Carlo Bozotti, ST's Chief
    Executive Officer, for the European Round Table's Advancement of women in
    business initiative (as Chairman of the ERT Societal Changes Working Group). At
    ST, we are convinced that diversity is a competitive advantage allowing us to
    provide innovative responses to global issues through multi-angled approach
    (cultural, gender, generation, etc.).

    Across our sites we have developed
    many programs to benefit more from our
    large cultural diversity.

    With our new sustainability strategy, we made commitments in three areas;
    gender, seniority and disability. Furthermore, ST Principles for Sustainable
    Excellence, our top-level reference for guiding our behavior and
    decision-making, state our commitment to a culture free of discrimination;
    ensuring respect for human rights and fair treatment in recruitment,
    remuneration, career development and promotion.

    A progressive approach
    to diversity

    Because countries' legislation and cultural norms can vary, ST mainly provides
    general guidelines that enable ST's sites to respond according to their local
    context. Our manufacturing sites in France and Italy have demonstrated a
    proactive and solid approach over many years, utilizing dedicated committees
    and/or departments to address these issues.

    Gender equality

    Very recently, ST's CEO, Carlo Bozotti, made a public commitment to increase the
    percentage of women in leadership positions (JG 17 and above) to 15% by 2015. In
    2012, several corporate HR processes will be reviewed to boost the development
    of high potential women. The initiative will be cascaded to sites for local
    implementation. To maintain this initiative in the longerterm, many ST sites
    already partner with schools to promote technical jobs to young women,
    encouraging more girls to enroll in engineering schools and universities. ST's
    objective is now to ensure that, at all locations, the female hiring ratio is
    equivalent to the graduate gender ratio in partner schools and universities.

    Many sites already exceed legal requirements regarding maternity and paternity
    programs. In the Czech Republic for instance, our ST site offers fathers the
    same rights as mothers, i.e. eight weeks of parental leave on 80% of salary,
    along with part-time and home office working where possible. Italian sites have
    also developed many initiatives in this area, such as a Maternity at Work
    manual, adoption guide, tutoring for mothers who want to remain informed during
    their maternity leave, coaching after return from maternity leave etc.

    Seniority

    It is important for ST to ensure that key competencies and expertise are not
    lost when people leave the company. ST considers that it is essential to
    maintain senior people's employability, taking into account their expectations
    in terms of career evolution, competency development and possible adjustment in
    their role. It is ST's aim for all sites to define a seniority plan, adapted to
    their local contexts that responds to these commitments.

    Disability

    We have observed various existing situations at our ST sites on this subject,
    mainly because of differences in legislation. Our objective is to share best
    practices, ensure sites offer fair employment to disabled people and
    progressively increase the percentage of disabled people employed by ST. Our
    French and Italian sites have the most advanced programs in this area which
    include partnerships with recruitment agencies to hire disabled people, programs
    to train disabled people in technical jobs, quantitative employment objectives
    etc.

    ST objectives
    o Ensure that the hiring ratio of women to men is equivalent to
    the gender ratio of graduated students in partner schools and universities o
    Increase the proportion of women in leadership positions worldwide from 9.8% to
    15% by 2015
    o Ensure that all sites have a seniority plan to maintain
    employability in the second part of people's careers o Ensure that all ST sites
    have disability plans to keep increasing the percentage of disabled employees in
    ST

    Focus on ST France's
    progress towards gender
    equality

    In 2006, ST France signed its first collective agreement on gender equality,
    making commitments in terms of recruitment, remuneration, maternity and adoption
    leave, training and development(3).

    In 2011, two task forces worked on remuneration and career inequality to analyze
    ST France's situation and address any inequalities. The task force on
    remuneration analyzed the salary at each job grade, correlating it with the
    annual performance appraisal score, seniority in ST and seniority in the job
    grade. A global average has been calculated for each of these variables to
    define a reference profile. Each case was then compared against this profile. At
    the end of 2011, 120 cases have been corrected and specific actions established
    to avoid any further unfair discrepancies. These include new rules to define
    objectives for part-time employees and to set a fair pay rise for women on
    maternity leave.

    The second task force was launched at the end of 2011 to identify potential
    career inequities and to analyze their underlying causes. At the end of the
    year, the conclusions showed that on a job grade scale from 9 to 18 and above,
    both men's and women's average job grade is 14 but there are many more women at
    14 and below. Several potential causes were researched such as the choice of
    career path (expert, project management, people management), the proportion of
    women working part-time, the influence of maternity, and the female labor market
    over the past 20 years.

    Based on this analysis, three main causes were identified:

    o structural causes: considering seniority, the current percentage of women in
    job grades 15 to 18 is equivalent to the female recruitment rates from 10 to 20
    years ago;
    o societal causes: very few men are working part-time compared to
    women and very few men take parental leave, even if French legislation allows
    them to;
    o choice of career path: during their annual performance appraisal,
    women mostly choose expert or project management career paths, while ST has more
    needs of senior positions from managerial career paths.
    However several positive
    aspects have been highlighted: in France, the percentage of women in executive
    positions has doubled in the past 20 years and more women are moving from
    non-executive to executive positions through internal mobility. This task force
    will be maintained in 2012 to propose appropriate action plans.

    "In several surveys around the world, organizations that promote gender equality
    in their practices have shown a marked competitive advantage over businesses in
    their sector. This has been attributed to several factors such as accessing the
    most creative and skilled individuals, more innovative approach based on the
    different skills and experience of both genders, or reduced costs due to higher
    retention of employees. One should praise ST Malta for their initiatives in
    enhancing their workplace thanks to family friendly environment, where employees
    with caring responsibilities can benefit from telework, reduced and flexible

    Employee
    Safety

    ST is committed to ensuring the health, safety and well-being of its employees,
    including achievement of work-life balance, safe working conditions, the
    mitigation of risk and danger and access to healthcare.

    Why is safety key for ST?

    Three factors are mainly responsible for the ever-increasing focus of companies
    on their health and safety performance:

    o stronger international guidance and national policies(1);

    o escalating direct and indirect costs of work-related accidents and illnesses;

    o increased scrutiny from external stakeholders e.g. customers' requirements,
    investment and financial questionnaires, attention from the press etc.

    ST cares about its employees and wants to ensure they are protected, so safety
    has been a key part of its culture for over ten years, with a firm commitment to
    strive for zero accidents in the workplace. Today, ST's 22 sites (including all
    its manufacturing sites and its largest non-manufacturing sites) are certified
    to OHSAS 18001 and 100% of our sites are engaged in the reporting of safety
    performance. ST is now adopting a more granular approach, adapting its programs
    to local context, focusing on specific groups, such as contractors, and
    empowering employees and managers through training and awareness.

    Maintaining our focus on safety Safety management is robust companywide, both at
    corporate and local levels with decreases of 69% in recordable cases and 84% in
    severity rates since 2002. These results have also resulted in savings estimated
    at US$ 43m since 2002.

    As anticipated, the 2011 results were similar to 2010 because once a certain
    level of performance has been reached, further reductions become increasingly
    difficult to sustain. After ten years of annual 10% reductions, the annual
    reduction target has been reduced to 5% this year.

    To continue striving for zero accidents, ST is focusing on two main initiatives:
    continuously raising employees' and managers' awareness; and the deployment of
    programs adapted to sites' specific requirements.

    In 2011, ST provided 167,000 hours of EHS training and awareness to employees,
    exceeding its 2011 corporate target with an average of 3.8 hours per employee.
    All ST manufacturing sites have also completed a selfassessment through a
    dedicated tool that helps identify opportunities for improvement in sites' EHS
    management systems. 15 topics, such as leadership, communications and promotion,
    human resources and risk monitoring were evaluated allowing sites to obtain a
    detailed analysis of their performance in order to help them define and develop
    tailored programs.

    See Crolles Sustainable Safety approach on page19.

    In addition to this self-evaluation, the Corporate Safety organization conducts
    manufacturing site visits to review the implementation of company rules and
    procedures. In 2011, six visits were conducted and a further eight are planned
    for 2012. These inspections provide an opportunity for cross-fertilization
    through external benchmarking and the sharing of good practices between sites.
    Some sites are also involved in national or local initiatives where they share
    their successes and challenges, and benefit from other companies' experiences.
    Extending a strong safety culture to wider audiences is important and ST is
    contributing to this by involving its on-site contractors in its safety
    programs. Since 2007, ST has successfully tracked contractors' lost work day
    case rate and is pleased to observe that it is continuously reducing.

    Despite its ongoing strong performance, ST will continue to strive for
    improvement, taking into account the feedback from external stakeholders such as
    the International Labour Organization(1), that are helping companies to raise
    international standards. We are also mindful of the potential risks to safety
    arising from the current economic crisis and want to reassure all stakeholders
    that no compromises have been or will be made regarding ST's commitment.

    o Ensure that, by 2012, ST employees have an average of four hours of training
    and awareness per year on environment, health and safety (EHS)

    Focus on ST Crolles for
    a Sustainable Safety

    In 2010, ST Crolles (France) initiated a new approach to safety, aiming at
    modifying safety-related behaviors. They realized that past safety programs
    brought positive results but that these were not always sustained, also that 90%
    of the causes of accidents were more the result of human and organizational
    factors than technical reasons.

    To ensure permanent low levels of recordable cases, ST Crolles has vested
    managers of operational teams with clearly defined safety responsibilities:
    conducting safety visits twice a month to observe safe and unsafe behaviors;
    developing safety dialog with their teams; and piloting detailed analysis of
    accidents. 320 managers have been trained on safety fundamentals and on how to
    implement these new aspects of their responsibilities, with a focus on safety
    visits.

    During these visits, the manager observes one person, who has been informed
    beforehand. Following this observation, they analyze together the positive and
    negative behaviors that have been seen and jointly develop corrective actions.
    This is an ideal opportunity for the manager to: discuss the findings with the
    team, recognize positive aspects and raise awareness of any unsafe acts or
    dangerous conditions that have been observed. It also provides a catalyst for
    adjustments in safety standards and policies.

    The site safety department also organized a communication campaign to raise
    every employee's awareness throughout the year with a four-week focus on one
    safety theme e.g. behaviors and habits, housekeeping, movement and posture, work
    at height, safety reflex, shared vigilance, etc. A 'conclusion' safety card is
    then sent to each employee's home.

    In 2011, more than 1,600 safety visits were completed. At one manufacturing
    plant that adopted this new approach particularly thoroughly, the rate of all
    accidents decreased by 39%. The 2012 objective for the two ST Crolles plants is
    to halve the accident rate, compared to 2010.

    The benefits of the Sustainable Safety approach are manifold: reinforcing a
    positive safety culture; demonstrating managers' safety excellence, commitment
    and leadership; increasing employees' motivation and team spirit; reducing the
    number of accidents through the analysis and correction of unsafe behaviors; and
    saving costs for the company (equivalent to (euro) 360,000 in 2011). In addition
    to this, many managers and operators have noticed positive impacts that go
    beyond this, with improvements in quality, maintenance, productivity or
    manufacturing processes.

    Warehouse Shift Leader, Global Logistics and
    Warehousing Organization, Calamba (Philippines)

    "At our site, we have the Hazard Hunting program that is about awareness. It
    results in a non-audit findings workplace. It seems to be the step-by-step
    closure to simple issues that we encountered in our daily lives. Because of
    this, we now maintain and sustain safety in our workplace.

    We have also applied what we've learned here in our company to our home to
    ensure safety of everybody. One good example is the proper segregation and
    labeling on even simple chemicals, this is significant to us".

    Employee Health
    and Well-being

    ST is committed to ensure the health, safety and well-being of its employees,
    including work-life balance, working conditions, mitigation of risk and danger
    to employees and subcontractors, employee access to healthcare.

    Why is ST committed to enhance employees' health and wellbeing? Attention to
    working conditions has been extended over recent years to encompass not only
    physical risks but also employees' health and well-being. New legislation,
    notably on smoking and stress, combined with studies conducted by governments
    (European Working Conditions survey for instance(1)) has also prompted increased
    attention from extrafinancial analysts and the media.

    For ST, employees' health is very important, both within and beyond the
    workplace. It is therefore part of our Corporate Health Policy to provide
    voluntary health promotion programs designed to enhance employees' well-being.
    ST's Health Plan sets an ambitious target to provide the same level of medical
    care to all ST employees, wherever they are located.

    A global framework for local
    actions

    In terms of health and well-being, legislation and cultural aspects differ
    significantly from one country to another. ST's approach is to provide guidance
    at corporate level, enabling countries and sites to design programs that are
    well-adapted to their local needs and requirements.

    Since 2006 ST has operated a companywide Health Plan with a dedicated group
    budget to support sites' programs. The company objective is for all ST employees
    to receive at least one medical check-up every 18 months. These check-ups are
    conducted either on-site with external professionals or externally where the
    site has partnered with qualified health centers. In addition to this, sites are
    offering a variety of other medical tests and examinations, depending on their
    employees' needs and preferences, such as blood analysis, mammography, chest
    X-rays or colorectal cancer tests. For employees working on some specific
    maintenance operations in manufacturing areas, biomonitoring tests are also
    provided to measure potential exposure to hazardous substances.

    In 2011, 86,500 medical examinations were performed, including more than 35,000
    check-ups covering 83% of employees.

    Through this Health Plan, ST also tracks six health and well-being indicators:
    physical inactivity, smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol, overweight and
    obesity. Based on these results, sites are conducting specific awareness
    campaigns. For instance, ST Ang Mo Kio (Singapore) is organizing Lunch Talks, at
    least once per month on diverse subjects such as 'chiropractic and ergonomics',
    'stress management' and 'allergies and sinusitis'. Another example at ST Agrate
    (Italy) is a nutrition campaign at the site canteen to help employees eat a
    balanced diet. This was developed in partnership with local health institutions.
    Across all sites, the main subjects addressed are sports exercise and smoking,
    with programs helping smokers to quit. To support employees in balancing their
    work and personal lives, some sites are also providing concierge services such
    as; nursery, banking, cleaning or shipping and postal facilities. Several of our
    major sites also have sport facilities, allowing employees to easily practice
    sport during lunch time or after their working days.

    In 2011, ST Agrate (Italy) was the first major site to test a 'mobile work'
    program, which offers certain groups of employees the opportunity to carry out
    elements of their work at home. The scheme is voluntary and requires the
    agreement of line management. The program was piloted by 28 employees in 2011
    with positive results. Some of the benefits that were fed back included improved
    focus and time management, reduced distractions, greater efficiency, elimination
    of commuting and associated stress. In 2012, ST Italy Human Resources will
    involve national unions to reach a common understanding before officially
    launching the mobile work program to all Italian sites. These initiatives to
    promote employee well-being illustrate ST's dedication to share best practices
    and offer increased site-based support.

    ST objectives

    o Ensure all employees have benefited from the Health Plan by the end of 2013

    o Promote employees' health and well-being through local initiatives and
    campaigns on the following aspects: sport practices, tobacco, overweight &
    obesity, blood pressure, cholesterol

    o Expand and promote the well-being services offered to employees at ST sites to
    facilitate day-to-day life

    France and Italy address
    stress at work

    Stress is increasingly a global phenomenon affecting a growing number of people
    across the world in all aspects of modern life, including at work, mainly
    because of fast-paced context(2). ST's French and Italian sites have initiated
    campaigns with external independent partners to evaluate employees' levels of
    stress, identify the nature and intensity of stress factors and develop a map of
    stress by gender, age, organization and job role through anonymous
    questionnaires and interviews. Thereafter the objective is to define appropriate
    individual and collective initiatives to prevent and address this important
    health issue.

    In France, stress evaluation is done during medical visits which offer employees
    an opportunity to better understand how to measure and detect stress and to
    speak about their problems with an external professional. In 2012, French sites
    will launch quarterly psychosocial risk committees to work on collective
    solutions and address the most important cases.

    ST Italy has asked a Milan University Department that specializes in
    workplace-related illness to propose solutions for managing conflicting
    situations at work, and supporting affected managers and employees. An expert
    from the University is available to analyze situations with several participants
    such as HR, doctors and managers. They can then intervene either as an advisor
    or mediator to develop and offer solutions.

    Focus on health plan
    in the US

    ST US sites participate in the company
    Health Plan but do not disclose any
    information about their activities because
    of the US Federal Health Care Laws
    that prohibit the sharing of medical
    information with employers.

    As part of this Health Plan, US sites offer a full complement of employer
    health, dental, life, vision and disability programs and also cover full
    preventative care such as routine physical and dental checkups.

    This medical program extends beyond physical health to emotional health and
    provides services such as the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in which
    employees can access outside services to help better manage their work-life
    balance. This includes support on several issues like marriage, family and
    relationship issues, stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, etc.

    This service also provides assistance for: childcare and elderly care
    assistance, financial and legal services, identity theft recovery assistance and
    daily living support.

    The US Medical Program incorporates a
    proactive disease management program
    that offers services such as annual flu
    vaccinations.

    Some sites propose additional services to employees such as fitness rooms and
    yoga or other sport classes, which enable employees to practice activities
    during lunch or break time.

    Health and employee
    wellness services at ST

    Calamba ST Calamba (Philippines) has developed 'Comprehensive Health and
    Employees' Wellness Services' (CHEWS) with the objective to change employees'
    mindset about health and to encourage them to adopt a preventive approach under
    the slogan "CHEWS to be fit, because wellness is a choice!". By the end of 2011,
    the sick leave rate has been reduced by 49%. The program is based around three
    service pillars: Patient Care, Occupational Health, Employee Wellness.

    It offers several services, including:

    Wellness Helpline

    This helpline allows employees to ask specific medical questions to healthcare
    professionals in cases of illness.

    ST Health Index

    This index is composed of eight indicators such as smoking, body mass index or
    triglycerides, with three levels of risks: bad, borderline, good. After their
    annual medical examination, employees receive their health scorecard with
    recommendations on how to improve their lowest-scoring indicators.

    Happy Hearts Club

    This club is open to all employees who aim to improve the health of their heart.
    A wellness guidebook was created and distributed to the members to monitor their
    blood pressure and body mass index. It has been extended to family members who
    become the employee's 'home partner' in the use of the guidebook to monitor
    their health condition outside work.

    Pregnancy information

    'Mama Conferences' are held quarterly and a mini-library for mothers has been
    set-up. A study was conducted on the health conditions of pregnant employees and
    policies were written in order to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.

    Labor Rights
    & Social Issues

    As a signatory of the UN Global Compact and a full member of the EICC, ST is
    committed to respect its workers' rights and continuously improve labor
    conditions in its operations.

    Linking policy to practice

    Over recent years, a number of key international standards and guidelines
    covering labor rights and social issues, have been released. The electronic
    industry has experienced increased attention from civil society organizations,
    investors and media on these issues. At ST, these trends have resulted in a
    significant increase in our customer requirements on related topics, which have
    more than doubled over the last five years.

    ST is committed to ensure it aligns with key international standards and
    guidance, including the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles on Business
    and Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and ISO
    26000. ST sites at all locations must meet national labor and social regulations
    and go beyond legislation by adhering to the provisions of the Electronic
    Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct and ST's own Principles
    for Sustainable Excellence.

    ST's internal program focuses on the practical activities that will ensure we
    meet this goal of all ST operations, respecting; the basic rights of workers to
    freedom of association and collective bargaining, the elimination of all forms
    of forced and compulsory labor, the effective abolition of child labor, fair
    wages, fair treatment, fair working and living conditions, and the elimination
    of discrimination.

    Continuing implementation of the
    EICC Approach

    Since 2007, when ST formally adopted the Electronic Industry Citizenship
    Coalition Code of Conduct as applicable to its own operations, the company has
    been driving a continuous improvement process with two main axes:

    o Identify our major risks relating to labor rights and working conditions in
    our operations and activities; and

    o Strengthen formal labor management systems for our operations within a clear
    framework of policies and procedures.

    In response to international trends and our customer requirements, including a
    100% increase in requests for audits (from six in 2010 to 12 in 2011), in 2011
    we focused on meeting and exceeding the requirements of the new EICC Membership
    Compliance Program. All ST sites successfully completed the EICC Self-Assessment
    Questionnaire (SAQ) and all results were transferred to the new EICC-ON
    electronic platform. Even though our sites maintained their 'low risk' SAQ
    status, we chose to audit all ST sites in Asia and other developing countries
    every two years on a rolling basis to reflect the expectations of our customers
    and other stakeholders with regard to perceived higher risk in these countries.
    Our Shenzhen site in China had already undergone an EICC third party 'Validated
    Audit' (VAP) in April 2010, so in 2011, further EICC VAPs were conducted at ST
    Muar (Malaysia) and ST Calamba (Philippines). VAPs are planned for 2012 at ST
    Shenzhen (China), ST Longgang (China), ST Ang Mo Kio (Singapore) and ST
    Bouskoura (Morocco). The results of EICC audits have been summarized in the
    graphs shown opposite. In addition, non-EICC customer audits were held in 2011
    at ST Ang Mo Kio (Singapore) and ST Shenzhen (China).

    With an average of four major nonconformances and four minor nonconformances per
    audit, we have been able to identify and follow relevant paths for improvement
    through both local corrective action plans and corporatelevel action plans aimed
    at reinforcing our company-wide management systems (See focus on page 23). The
    top three major non-conformances from a combination of VAPs and customer audits
    were on freely chosen employment, food, sanitation and housing, and working
    hours. For information on our management of labor rights and social issues in
    our supply chain, see pages 58-59

    ST objectives

    o Ensure 100% of ST manufacturing sites update their EICC Self- Assessment
    Questionnaire (SAQ) on an annual basis

    o Ensure 100% of ST Asian and Back-end sites are audited every two years versus
    the EICC Code of Conduct and that the other sites are proactively engaged in the
    EICC approach

    o Ensure that all ST organizations have a continuous improvement plan versus
    ST's Human Resources Policy to reinforce their management of social issues

    Addressing labor rights and social issues outside developing countries

    In the second half of 2011, measures were undertaken at ST's sites in Italy and
    in France to minimize the impact of the economic crisis on employees.

    In Italy, in order to cope with a reduced loading of our production facilities
    in the last quarter, negotiations were held with unions representing ST
    employees to find solutions that would avoid or minimize 'cassa integrazione'
    (shortterm unemployment subsidized by the government), which has an impact on
    the income of affected employees. At ST Agrate (Italy), unions agreed to the
    measure of 'forced' use of remaining days of vacation. At ST Catania (Italy),
    unions opted for the measure of 'cassa integrazione' (with related reduced
    income) to maintain ST employees' right to their remaining days of vacation.

    In France, a 'chomage partiel' (short-term unemployment) scheme was agreed with
    the government to increase the legal compensated salary from 60% to 75% for
    employees during periods in which production ceased due to the economic crisis.
    As part of this agreement, ST France offered employees the possibility to
    participate in training courses for their professional development during the
    period of site closures, thus benefiting also from an additional salary
    compensation. This activity was highly successful with 2,300 trainees and 47,000
    training hours recorded, accompanied by excellent feedback on the quality of the
    training and a satisfaction score of 90%. All French sites (Crolles, EWS
    Grenoble, Rousset and Tours) adopted this program in the second half of 2011.

    Focus on updates to policies and procedures

    In 2011, ST launched the process to update its Human Resources Policy, including
    human rights, as a first step in the process of aligning with the new UN Guiding
    Principles on Human Rights and Business. Our audit activities described opposite
    have also contributed significantly to the decision to update this policy. The
    new HR Policy will be more detailed and specific on those labor rights and
    social issues that are most relevant to the company and its employees. The
    policy will be finalized in 2012 and a cycle of stakeholder engagement will be
    launched to further evaluate the policy's alignment with the UN Guiding
    Principles.

    As a specific result of the audit activities in 2010-2011, ST created a new
    procedure or 'specification' on dormitories to address the nonconformances that
    were identified in several ST sites in Asia. The new ST Dormitory Specification
    is based on the most stringent requirements of our customers, on the EICC
    standard and on best practice within ST sites. The process to develop the
    specification was extensive, involving interviews of the Human Resources and
    Safety managers involved in the management of dormitories and the review and
    comments of HR departments at the concerned sites. The specification will be
    formalized in early 2012.

    controversial issues such as working conditions in countries with weak labour
    standards. We consider that ST has a high level of disclosure and an advanced
    approach to mitigate these risks on its most sensitive sites and at its
    suppliers: audit policy, specific work on dormitories ... However, for ST as for
    other industrial companies with manufacturing sites or suppliers in "high risk"
    countries, there is still room for improvements (audits, trainings, negotiations
    ... ) in order to avoid major non-compliance, especially regarding working
    hours, wages and housing."

    Customer
    Satisfaction

    ST is committed to ensuring its products meet customer expectations in all
    respects, including service, timely delivery and appropriate management of
    quality.

    What are ST's strengths and weaknesses in terms of customer satisfaction?

    ST regularly evaluates customer satisfaction through different means such as
    score cards, customer meetings and ST site audits. We have identified five areas
    of excellence that contribute to customer satisfaction; technology (innovation,
    technical support, etc.), business (competitiveness, change management, etc.),
    supply chain (delivery performance, flexibility, etc.), quality (robust
    products, preventing quality issues, etc.) and sustainability (vision &
    strategy, stakeholder engagement, etc). In 2011, ST launched a customer
    perception survey, collecting more than 1,300 responses that were fed into our
    continuous improvement initiatives. Responses indicated that 84% of our clients
    were satisfied to work with ST, our main strengths being business relations and
    our product offering. We identified two main improvement opportunities: our
    supply chain delivery performance and the quality of our products and processes.
    Customers have remarked on the improvements we have made to date in terms of
    quality, but we know that continual improvement must be sustained.

    Everyone involved in enhancing
    customer satisfaction

    "Quality is not negotiable"
    CEO, Carlo Bozotti

    In 2011, ST reviewed its quality strategy and formed a cross-functional quality
    organization consisting of quality groups that are able to network more
    effectively across the company. The groups have a single common mission "to
    provide ST's customers with the highest level of quality excellence in our
    industry". Fabio Gualandris, Executive Vice President, Product Quality
    Excellence, said that "the major change in this new structure is that it is very
    operational, closely linked to the day-by-day activities of ST and our
    customers."

    ST's new quality strategy engages everyone at ST in continuous improvement,
    aiming towards flawless implementation of business processes, zero failures and
    zero excursions(1). 2012 will be the year of execution but several programs have
    already been launched during 2011 which have provided promising results.
    Excursions were one of ST's main focus areas in 2011, reinforcing both proactive
    and reactive interventions. We initially analyzed details of previous excursions
    and categorized root causes, identifying commonalities and solutions that would
    create the longterm eradication of excursions. A senior cross-functional team
    was then formed to implement effective, systematic and permanent solutions, and
    to become the main point of contact when an excursion occurs. By the end of
    2011, the number of excursions had already been reduced by 70%.

    During 2011, ST faced several unpredictable events that had the potential to
    impact our customer service; the nuclear disaster in Japan, flooding in Thailand
    and Morocco, and typhoons in Hong-Kong. Due to the quality of our business
    continuity plan, we were able to avoid any interruption in our customer services
    despite these unpredictable global events. In several situations we also
    successfully deployed our emergency logistics services to our customers and
    suppliers.

    To build resilience to the cyclical nature of our business, ST has worked with
    Front-end subcontractors to increase flexibility and maintain levels of response
    to customer demand, including strategic partnerships with selected companies.

    Another key objective that has been closely monitored by ST top management in
    2011 was the reduction of cycle time at our Frontend sites. Due to the high
    complexity of this manufacturing phase, Front-end processes account for between
    50% and 85% of the total cycle time. In response to customers' needs, Cycletime
    Champions led dedicated working groups to deliver a reduction of 25% by the end
    of the year. ST is committed to a further 15% reduction in 2012.

    ST quality strategy

    In February 2011, Fabio Gualandris joined ST as Executive Vice President of the
    Product Quality Excellence organization. Within one year, he has introduced and
    put into execution a new company quality strategy and roadmap to strengthen ST
    leadership in this domain and help us provide our customers with the highest
    level of quality excellence in the industry. We have three strategic objectives
    for reaching these goals:

    o We must achieve the lowest levels of defective parts per million for each
    industrial domain with the ultimate goal of zero failures.

    o We must prevent any impact to our customers due to excursions through
    zero-excursion management.

    o We must flawlessly execute business processes to prevent problems and
    continually improve the way we work. The ST quality strategy is built on seven
    fundamental pillars with global targets and a roadmap for execution.

    "The ultimate goal of the SCMA is to make Continental the most reliable partner
    for our customers through optimal fulfillment of their supply demands. For that,
    we need highly flexible partners with leading-edge supply chain processes.

    For a central logistics function working with ST, like our SCMA, it is highly
    appreciated to have one competent contact who is involved in several logistics
    programs, e.g. Logistics Improvement Program (LIP). Besides this, ST offers many
    proactive solutions like its worldwide- model or the running of IT
    modifications.

    ST is always on board at an early stage with a high level of engagement to
    support us in our goal to drive continuous improvement and to react even more
    rapidly to sudden market changes, which have increased frequently over the past
    few years. Thanks to open and honest communication, many issues are resolved
    successfully."

    Christelle Turcek
    Supplier Quality
    Management Plant
    Toulouse, Continental

    "In the challenging semiconductor market, quality is playing a key role within
    the business context. Conti's expectation is to avoid or limit any potential
    customer impact due to quality issues. A preventive strategy and fast response
    are the two main characteristics Conti is expecting from its suppliers.
    Standardization of reliability qualifications, manufacturing processes and
    continuous quality improvement plans are the basis for preventive processes
    while rapid and precise communication via comprehensive 8D methodology ensures a
    fast response.

    What we particularly appreciate with ST is the opportunity to set a common
    quality strategy. Thanks to ST's product portfolio, strong technical know-how
    and worldwide support, we are able to develop and deploy new solutions that meet
    high-quality market demand.

    Several joint Conti/ST quality programs are in place with clear objectives and
    targets. We work well with ST thanks to communication flows established both at
    regional level, via ST's local quality contacts and at management level.
    Although the main drivers are located within the Quality Department, deployment
    and execution involves the whole of ST."

    Conflict-free
    Minerals

    ST is committed to ensuring compliance with legislation and alignment with
    customer requirements relating to conflict minerals, avoiding procurement of 3TG
    metals (tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold) that are directly or indirectly
    associated with serious human rights violations or environmental damage in the
    Democratic Republic of Congo and its neighboring countries.

    Why is the conflict minerals issue
    key for ST?

    In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighboring countries, tantalum,
    tin, tungsten and gold (collectively called 3TG) are often produced by artisans
    and small-scale miners. The mines and their associated trading routes are
    frequently controlled by illegal local military forces(1) . Mining revenues are
    a major source of funding for armed groups who are responsible for violence and
    other serious human rights abuses in the region, as well as environmental issues
    such as deforestation(2).

    On July 21, 2010, the US President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act, drafted
    by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which requires manufacturers of
    electronics devices to undertake due diligence on their 3TG supply chains, to
    publicly disclose their conflict minerals policy and to enforce conflict-free
    measures in their procurement processes.

    The electronic industry is one of the most impacted by this issue because of the
    need for 3TG metals in electronic components(3). ST products contain many
    metals, including 3TG. Since 2007, ST has led actions to prevent conflict
    minerals entering its supply chain and has significantly increased its efforts
    over recent years to obtain a more complete and reliable map of our minerals
    supply chain, tracing it back to the mine of origin.

    An industry-wide approach ST began to address the conflict minerals issue in
    2007 by requiring its tantalum suppliers to confirm they were not providing
    metals from conflict areas. Since then we have participated in the Electronic
    Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative
    (GeSI) programs and are now requiring all our suppliers and subcontractors to
    provide evidence that they are not sourcing 3TG metals that contribute to the
    funding of armed groups.

    Since 2008, EICC-GeSI has been working jointly to develop a common approach for
    a conflict-free mineral supply chain within the electronic industry. In 2010,
    EICC-GeSI launched its Conflict-Free Smelter (CFS) Program, in conformance with
    the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from
    Conflict- Affected and High-Risk Areas. The program consists of the independent
    validation of the effectiveness of supply chain due diligence programs and
    processes through third party audits of smelters and refiners. Through this
    program, EICC-GeSI also provides guidance to smelters to support in-region
    sourcing schemes that enable legitimate and safe trade from DRC.

    In July 2011, EICC-GeSI issued a Due Diligence reporting template, in line with
    the US Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, to create a single
    reporting format that will enable electronics companies to consolidate the
    analysis and reporting of data throughout the sector's supply chain and beyond.
    As a result, ST was able to improve the visibility of its minerals supply chain
    in 2011 by deploying the Due Diligence template to all its materials suppliers,
    replacing the previously-used manual tracking process. We have also required our
    subcontractors to deploy the template for their own downstream suppliers.

    Completing this template is now mandatory for our suppliers and subcontractors
    and is part of their annual evaluation, the maximum appraisal score being given
    when they provide full traceability back to the mine of origin. Around 170
    templates have so far been collected and aggregated. Due to the complexity of
    our supply chain, a single feedback can contain information originating from as
    many as eight separate tiers of the supply chain.

    With this complete view of our supply chain, we are now able to validate every
    smelter's name and identity against the EICC-GeSI list. Carrying out a
    reasonable level of inquiry that delivers accurate information is complex due to
    the number of companies involved. The ultimate objective is to engage all
    smelters in the CFS program and we contribute to this goal by encouraging our
    smelters to participate, contacting them both directly and through our firsttier
    suppliers. By the end of 2011, the CFS program had focused on tantalum smelters
    with 11 smelters certified.

    ST identified six tantalum smelters in its materials supply chain, and four have
    already passed the CFS certification. Like ST, many of our customers are also
    listed on the New York Stock Exchange and therefore fall within the Dodd
    Franck-Act. As a consequence, customer requirements received by ST relating to
    conflict minerals quadrupled in 2011. This topic now represents almost half of
    our customers' social and ethical requirements. There was also increased
    customer focus on our supply chain coverage and data reliability. Our customer
    satisfaction levels in this area have been very good, and we have benefited from
    working closely with some customers to conduct more in-depth analyses.

    ST remains well-informed on conflict minerals through its membership of the EICC
    and participation in its working groups. In September 2011, we attended the
    GeSI-EICC workshop in Brussels and participated in a dialogue that included
    stakeholders from civil society, companies at every level of the supply chain
    and government institutions. These meetings are vital to maintain a global
    perspective of the issue; they also offer opportunities to share experience,
    create connections with the different participants and continue collective
    industry progress. Through our membership in the EICC, we are also supporting
    the ITRI(4) 's Tin Supply Chain Initiative (iTSCi), aimed at developing the
    responsible supply of tin from DRC and adjoining countries.

    "Philips is concerned about the situation in Eastern Congo, and believes that an
    industrywide approach is crucial to effectively address the conflict minerals
    issue. We need our suppliers' cooperation to avoid that minerals that directly
    or indirectly finance the Congolese conflict enter our supply chain. Philips
    welcomes the increasingly open and collaborative stance of ST concerning supply
    chain investigations and transparency. We encourage ST to continue this
    important effort and take the next steps in engaging all identified smelters in
    the EICC-GeSI Conflict Free Smelter program."

    Eco-design

    ST is committed to designing its products systematically, taking into
    consideration the environmental impact of the device during its whole life
    cycle, including raw materials, transportation, manufacturing, usage, end of
    life.

    Why is eco-design key for ST?

    As the development of electronic goods continues to increase, it is imperative
    to understand the increasingly stringent environment, health and safety product
    requirements along with opportunities for sustainable production and
    consumption.

    Since 1993 and the first stages of its environmental strategy, ST has been fully
    committed to reducing any negative effects of its activities and its products on
    humans and the planet as a whole. Innovation is a key element in eco-design and
    ST is implementing an eco-design strategy based on a life-cycle approach that
    will better-inform customers of the environmental footprint of its products.

    ST's approach to Life Cycle Assessment and eco-design

    In 2010, ST published the fourth version of its EHS Decalogue with a target to
    achieve eco-design of 100% of its new products by 2015. Life Cycle Assessment
    (LCA) is a way of highlighting opportunities for ecological improvements in
    product design. Since 2008, ST has developed a bespoke methodology and carried
    out LCA on a range of products in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. In
    2011, we continued to make good progresses on our path to successfully integrate
    this approach within the company.

    Performing full LCA on a semiconductor device is a lengthy process due to the
    complexity of processes, materials and final applications. Based on complete LCA
    studies performed through the years at ST, we have developed a simplified LCA
    methodology that provides a clear product footprint within a shorter timeframe,
    enabling us to assess the main environmental impacts of 100% of ST's
    internally-manufactured products.

    Our eco-design roadmap outlines key milestones to reach our 2015 objective. We
    launched three working groups on the integration of environmental parameters in
    technology and product design. As a result, three eco-design tools, using LCA,
    are being developed to integrate environmental criteria into each stage of chip
    design. The first output is a circuit design tool developed by ST Castelletto
    Research and Development (Italy) that compares design options for electrical
    circuitry and highlights greener options. ST Front-end technology (developed in
    Rousset - France) and Back-end package tools (developed in Grenoble - France)
    will enable designers to identify the main contributions to impacts, minimize
    the environmental impacts of both technologies and packages and compare the
    evolutions between product generations. ST Crolles (France) has been able to map
    the 45 nanometer technology through an in-depth study of chemical flows and is
    currently working on a model to eco-design the next generation of technologies.

    A responsible product(1) working group is looking into a communication plan
    dedicated to eco-designed products, including the creation of eco-profiles and
    labels.

    We are also working on removing polluting and hazardous substances from our
    products via our ECOPACK(R) program which was launched in 2000, based on ST's
    hazardous substances list. From 2012, our systems will track products eligible
    for ECOPACK(R) 3 and align packing materials with ECOPACK(R) levels.

    Focus on ST's partnerships
    with academic institutions

    ST is convinced that its strategic research partnerships are contributing to its
    overall performance through the blending of different experiences and visions.
    This combines day-to-day industry practice, performance targets and theoretical
    studies with a long-term vision that is built through collaboration across
    several industries. Due to its very technical and innovative nature, eco-design
    in particular benefits from such partnerships, which inject the competencies and
    experiences needed to develop LCA and other complex technical aspects of
    eco-design.

    Since 2009, the Research and Development departments of ST Rousset and Crolles
    (France) are working with two PhD students from Grenoble University. This is in
    partnership with the Grenoble laboratory G-SCOP specialized in design issues in
    industrial engineering. Through their meticulous work, they developed our
    eco-design methodology and strategy for products and processes. The Crolles
    thesis is attached to the Nano 2012 Program, a strategic approach to increase
    semiconductor innovation, including environmental aspects. Following on from
    this success, several engineering students from the Politecnico di Milano
    (Italy) are also engaged in LCA. In 2011, two of them have worked to validate
    the methodology in improving the overall data quality and have also helped to
    develop the eco-design tools. Furthermore, ST Tours (France) is working with the
    University of Tours and Orleans, the National Center for Scientific Research
    (CNRS) and the Atomic and Alternative Energy Commissionership (CEA) for several
    years through a Scientific Interest Group called CERTeM Plus (Microelectronic
    technology research and study center) to develop new ecodesign technologies.

    Through this collaborative approach, ST aims to build long-term partnerships and
    contribute to research at a global level.

    "The need to re-think products to reduce their environmental burden is spreading
    very rapidly, fuelled by an increase in environmental statements that assess the
    "greenness" of almost everything. Life Cycle Analysis is one of the most robust
    ways to answer stakeholders' requests for more comprehensive environmental
    evaluations of products and materials.

    Thanks to its collaboration with ST, the Politecnico di Milano has broadened its
    experience in the specific field of semiconductor manufacturing and its
    associated cutting edge technologies. ST has also offered unique internship
    opportunities for Politecnico students who have been able to undertake thesis
    projects in collaboration with highly qualified ST personnel."

    environmental and safety challenges, as well as the ageing population and more
    affordable and accessible healthcare.

    What are 'responsible products'?

    We use the term 'responsible products' to refer to the design, development, sale
    and marketing of ST products that:

    o Reduce energy consumption and enable customer applications to reduce their
    energy consumption and/or are intended to provide new environmental solutions
    (e.g. smart grid, start/stop systems, converters to manage solar cells and wind
    turbines, etc.);

    o Are intended to provide new social solutions and improve end-user quality of
    life (e.g. all health-related products, safety applications, environmental and
    social solutions for developing countries etc.).

    In ST, we have known for years that we have numerous products that fit this
    description but we didn't previously have a clear system to identify and
    classify them. Prompted by investors' questions relating to the percentage of
    products with energy-saving characteristics and their associated revenues, our
    aim on this subject is to translate the real societal value of these products
    into facts and figures that clearly demonstrate the contribution of our products
    to key societal challenges.

    ST's STAR Responsible Products
    Program

    The STAR program is just one element of ST's overall approach to product
    stewardship, which includes compliance with legislation (e.g. ST's Ecopack (R)
    label) and eco-design strategies to reduce the environmental impact of the
    technology used in production, measured in terms of the product's environmental
    footprint across the whole of its life cycle. See more on pages 28-29.

    Launched in 2011, the STAR program set out to chart new territory in ST,
    exploring the boundaries of eco-design and pushing them further in some
    respects. The goal of the program, within the context of ST's new Sustainability
    strategy and the key issue of 'Responsible Products', is to classify all new
    products into relevant environmental and social categories and give a 1, 2 or 3
    STAR rating according to the level of innovation of the product in question.

    A task force was formed including representatives from all ST Product Groups to
    define the approach and formalize it in relevant company processes (such as the
    Product Development Process) and IT systems.

    The focus in 2011 was to clarify the conceptual premise of the approach within
    the context of existing programs. What characterizes the STAR program, as the
    task force defined it, is its attempt to classify responsible characteristics of
    the product (the ST chip) in use in ST's customers' final applications. The rule
    the task force used to define the categories is: if the design functionalities
    of the chip enable an application or result that is evidently 'responsible'
    (i.e. bringing clear social or environmental benefits) then it is eligible for a
    STAR rating.

    In 2012, the task force will perform an initial classification of all eligible
    new products for the year 2012 and fine-tune the classification criteria and
    rules for assigning a STAR rating. They will then be able to formalize their
    2012 target for the percentage of new products that have a STAR rating and
    review the associated percentage of sales for those products each quarter. 2012
    will be our baseline and will enable us to measure any increase in
    demand/revenues for this category of product.

    The ultimate goal is value creation for ST and benefits for society at large in
    line with our Sustainability strategy and ST's overall strategy of
    (life.augmented). In parallel, a focus on the formal communication processes and
    activities that accompany the STAR program will ensure that customers, investors
    and employees (and stakeholders in general) understand the value created and
    benefit from it accordingly.

    ST objectives

    o In 2012, track the percentage of 'responsible products' in ST's overall
    Product Portfolio and associated revenues (following STAR environmental and
    social criteria) for the year

    o Prepare a complete communications plan for responsible products in 2012

    Focus on STAR responsible product categories

    The task force working on STAR Responsible Products created two macro categories
    for the classification of products with clear social and environmental benefits:
    energysaving products and social products, which includes those products with
    environmental benefits not related to energy-saving. For each of these two macro
    categories there is a star rating from 1 to 3. The STAR rating for social
    products focuses on the innovation of an ST chip enabling a final application
    (that is owned by an ST customer) versus the offering of the market. For
    energy-saving products, the STAR rating combines an evaluation of ST technology
    versus the market offering and versus the previous generation of the product in
    question.

    Social Products
    Health, Medical & Fitness

    Examples of products that fall into this category:

    o the Nanopump, which is a breakthrough concept that allows a tiny pump to be
    mounted on a disposable skin patch to provide continuous insulin infusion for
    diabetes treatment, using our microfluidic MEMS (Micro-Electro- Mechanical
    System) technology;

    o a "smart" contact lens that uses a tiny embedded strain gauge to monitor the
    curvature of the eye over a period, typically 24 hours, providing valuable
    disease management data that is not currently obtainable using conventional
    ophthalmic equipment. This solution enables better management of glaucoma
    patients via earlier diagnosis and treatment that is optimally tailored to the
    individual patient.

    Energy Saving Products

    ST chips contribute to energy savings in two fundamental ways, which are often
    connected: 1) the ST chip itself saves energy compared to the previous
    generation and 2) the design functionalities of the ST chip enable a significant
    energy saving within the final application (owned by the ST customer). In some
    cases, it is the energy saving of the ST chip itself that permits an energy
    saving in the final application. Our data-gathering sets out to capture the
    energy-saving characteristics of both categories so that we will be able to
    measure the growth in demand for these products and associated revenues
    separately, but as part of the same bigger picture. Energy saving products
    include products for smart grids which comprise interconnected equipment such as
    appliances, energy meters and infrastructure monitors. These products are
    conceived to reduce peak loads, improve network stability, encourage lower
    consumption and better manage a wider variety of renewable energy sources such
    as wind and solar. Our power conversion devices - another category of energy
    saving products - deliver a dramatic reduction of energy consumption in homes
    and other buildings, enabling appliances that are less power hungry or lighting
    systems that exploit the most up-to-date technologies to deliver optimum
    lighting conditions with the lowest possible energy (e.g. chips for driving
    highefficiency LED for lighting applications, which save as much as 40%,
    compared to older technologies).

    Our Products

    Intellectual Property
    & Innovation

    It is acknowledged that innovation in micro-electronics has the potential to
    offer people better, longer and more enjoyable lives through technology
    development in important areas such as energy efficiency, healthcare and the
    management of scarce resources.

    Innovation's contribution
    to business and society

    The semiconductor industry is a key enabler for the electronics industry which
    creates growth in information technologies plus a wide range of manufacturing
    and service industries. It provides improved solutions for existing applications
    and also enables new applications and markets to develop. A significant
    proportion of the goods and services that will be available in the market in 10
    years time have not yet been developed or even conceived, but microelectronics
    is bound to be a key enabling technology underlying most of them. Major progress
    is anticipated in fields such as communications, healthcare, energy
    conservation, digital content and entertainment, transportation and security.
    Digital multimedia convergence, sensing and power management are segments of
    microelectronics that are likely to have the deepest impact on the future of our
    society.

    Multimedia convergence and Sense & Power applications are central to ST's
    vision, which drives product and technology development. Examples include
    advanced audio/video processing, multi-core architectures, low power technology,
    radio frequency, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and 3D integration.

    As the complexity of our products grows and their economic lifespan shortens, it
    becomes essential for ST to continuously assess how best to allocate its
    resources across ever increasing demands for research and development. The
    potential benefits of tapping into the rapidly emerging market for semiconductor
    technology, intellectual property or ready-made circuitry needs to be carefully
    balanced against the risks e.g. dependency and product differentiation
    capability. Conversely, business opportunities may arise from the licensing of
    certain intellectual property or knowhow to partners or 3rd parties.

    Innovation is the critical link that converts our portfolio of IP and
    inventions, into products and ultimately into business opportunities.

    This process is underpinned by rigorous IP portfolio management, which protects
    ST's interests.

    ST's approach to innovation

    ST's approach to innovation focuses on three key areas:

    o R&D investment: we devote an average of over 20% of our net revenues to R&D.
    In an industry where the speed of bringing new technology to market is critical,
    it is important that ST maintains momentum. An advanced System On Chip (SOC)
    such as an application processor or a multimedia consumer device can typically
    contain over 1 billion transistors and millions of lines of embedded software.
    The aggregate effort needed to bring such products to market is the equivalent
    of hundreds of man-years. A similar scale of input is required to develop a
    stateof- the-art technology platform for smart power devices or MEMS.

    o Intellectual Property sourcing and research alliances: to complement internal
    R&D, ST also sources technology, IPs and IP blocks from strategic partners,
    customers and third parties. This process starts with toplevel technology
    intelligence and the identification of future business needs. We then evaluate
    the most efficient way to acquire the IP. One model involves the acquisition of
    IP through licensing transactions with a worldwide network of partners.

    Alternatively, it may result from product development with key customers,
    technology development with other semiconductor manufacturers and alliances on
    Electronic Design Automation tool development with major suppliers. Alliances
    are supported by research programs conducted with leading institutions which
    contribute to several of Europe's advanced technology research programs such as
    CATRENE (Cluster for Application and Technology Research in Europe on
    NanoElectronics, a successor to MEDEA+), and industry initiatives such as ENIAC
    (European Nano-electronics Initiative Advisory Council).

    ST objectives

    o Increase creativity:
    Number of patents for fundamental
    innovations filed per year

    o Increase efficiency of product
    development:
    - Average age of development
    projects
    - Proportion of projects younger
    than 1 year

    o Increase R&D partnerships:
    % of R&D spending incurred
    via partnerships or external IP
    sourcing

    o Intellectual Property portfolio management: the thousands of patentable ideas
    that result every year from the research activities above are carefully
    protected against unauthorized third party use or infringement. ST's portfolio
    represents approximately 17,000 patents* and pending patent applications. These
    assets, in turn, are used to develop further partnerships and alliances, or
    alternatively are incorporated into licensing programs.

    o Intellectual Property training: ST uses intellectual property to protect and
    support everything we do. All ST employees have responsibility to protect our
    intangible assets, including their strategic and economic importance plus legal
    aspects. This covers the tools and processes that ST's IP and Licensing
    Department has put in place to help create a worldclass patent portfolio.

    Employee IP training is delivered by the IP & Licensing Department in
    cooperation with Corporate Learning.

    The IP & Licensing Department also invites several key representatives of ST's
    divisions for a full day of training, covering the major phases of ST's patent
    life cycle.

    Combining highly complex technology with the most innovative
    multimedia features

    In 2011, ST unveiled details of Orly, its forthcoming high-performance broadband
    set-top box system-on-chip Integrated Circuit (IC) for extraordinary home
    entertainment that will deliver market-leading energy efficiency, high
    performance as well as bestin- class security features, along with support for a
    wide variety of open-source environments.

    The chip's superior processing power will support value-added services such as
    state-of-the-art gaming, Over The Top (OTT) video playback via 3rd-parties over
    the Internet, the new generation of application stores and secure
    High-Definition streaming to tablets, smartphones, PCs and TVs throughout the
    home.

    This is the first ST IC in the 32/28 nanometer technology family and, with over
    1 billion transistors, is among the most complex conceived to date. On
    developing the chip, ST has responded to end users' demands for a
    fully-connected home.

    GreenNet: a smart Wireless Sensor Network

    ST's Business Innovation Process has given birth to a highly innovative project
    from Grenoble (France), named GreenNet. GreenNet is a network of wireless
    sensors that can detect environmental parameters such as temperature, movement,
    self-motion, presence of pollutants in the atmosphere etc. It is able to respond
    to sensory information by enabling an embedded switch which acts on the
    surrounding systems, e.g. by switching on a light, closing a gate, etc.
    Miniaturization of the device results in a stamp-sized product. A photovoltaic
    cell delivers energy to each network node, where it is stored in an embedded
    battery, allowing continuous operation. The application has the potential for
    use in a vast array of innovative applications and multiple domains, such as
    industrial applications, home automation and personal assistance. It helps to
    use energy more efficiently and will increase consumer safety though better
    monitoring of the environment, e.g. monitoring of carbon monoxide.

    The data from GreenNet can be transmitted to a mobile device such as a
    smartphone or tablet to enable remote monitoring and control.

    Water
    Management

    ST is committed to reducing water use and ensuring high standards of effluent
    and waste water treatment. We are also committed to identifying and managing
    water-related risks and opportunities, including impacts on local communities.

    Why is water management key
    for ST?

    Climate change is the major factor impacting world water resources, with direct
    effects on ecosystems, people and businesses(1). 22% of the world's fresh water
    is used for industry(1), making water management a priority issue for
    responsible companies. The semiconductor industry has an obligation to respond
    via:

    o water governance and regulatory Compliance

    o the development of innovative initiatives to diminish water dependency and
    ensure business and supply chain continuity

    o the mitigation of adverse impacts on water supply and communities

    The sustainable management of this essential resource is of critical importance
    for ST and its stakeholders. Our water footprint has been reduced by 73% since
    1994 through continuous improvement programs undertaken at all our manufacturing
    sites. ST is now taking a more comprehensive approach to water management,
    covering both our world-wide sites and their related communities.

    ST management of water

    Water management at operations

    The semiconductor industry requires water with a very high level of purity for
    sensitive manufacturing processes, especially at our Front-end sites. ST
    identified water conservation as a key issue for sustainable growth in the first
    release of its Environment Health and Safety Decalogue in 1995 and developed a
    strategy covering all stages of operations. Since then we have achieved our
    yearly reduction target of 5% for water draw-down, in cubic meters per
    production unit.

    ST's conservation strategy is based on the 3R motto 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle'.
    Water conservation features in the design of our facilities, and manufacturing
    processes are constantly upgraded to meet our more stringent water reduction
    targets. Each site measures and assesses its patterns of water usage to know
    which areas of the production process to focus on. We have developed innovative
    measures to further save water, and operating procedures are consequently
    reviewed to be aligned with the best equipment and processes. In 2011, ST
    recycled 40.5% of its water, re-using it for different purposes such as
    scrubbers, cooling towers or civil use such as lawn watering.

    Waste water is treated in dedicated treatment plants, either located onsite or
    developed in collaboration with local authorities to remove polluting substances
    such as fluoride, which cannot be treated by municipal plants. Once it has
    obtained a sufficient level of purity, and when any risk of pollution is
    eliminated, it is discharged into the natural environment.

    Assessing impacts on resources and Communities

    ST is conscious that it has a significant impact on water resources. To oversee
    the related risks and harmonize ST's practices, we have started to monitor this
    aspect centrally and have implemented guidelines to review the quality,
    availability and selection of the water sources we use.

    To assess and map the water risks related to our operations, ST conducted a
    pilot evaluation using the Global Water Tool of the World Business Council for
    Sustainable Development. We firstly analyzed whether ST sites were located in
    water-scarce areas, and how this might impact ST's activities and communities in
    the future. In 2012, ST will perform a deep water risk assessment with Quantis
    at all manufacturing sites and will evaluate its overall water footprint from
    operations, supply-chain and the lifetime of product use.

    ST has a historical engagement with its surrounding communities. Our sites have
    always worked with local stakeholders to reduce water extraction and
    consumption, and ensure a viable development of all actors of the areas. In
    2011, ST Agrate received the Electronics Day Award for its responsible approach
    to reducing the consumption of the deep water aquifer, thus minimizing its
    impacts on communities in the Agrate basin(2).

    ST objectives

    o Reduce water draw-down (cubic meters per production unit) by 5% per year

    o Achieve an overall Company recycling rate of 45% by 2015

    o Conduct a water risk and opportunity assessment for each manufacturing site by
    2012

    Focus on in-depth water analysis at ST Tours (France)

    In March 2011, a new local regulation required ST Tours(3) to limit its water
    consumption and to submit a report of the site water use by October 2011. Tours
    decided to seize this opportunity to undertake an in-depth analysis to optimize
    its water consumption.

    With the help of a specialized consulting agency, and supported by French
    governmental organizations, a group of ST experts from participating
    manufacturing departments began the study in April. It evaluated the current
    techniques used by the Tours site against the 33 technical guidelines of the EU
    Commission, referred to as Best Available Techniques Reference. Daily flow-meter
    readings across multiple areas provided a precise and complete inventory of ST
    Tours' water consumption and helped identify areas for further improvement and
    optimization.

    Following on from this analysis, in November 2011 three working groups started
    to optimize the water consumption of equipment during both active and stand-by
    modes and also looked at ways of increasing the use of recycled water.

    Initial results showed a significant decrease of 5m3 of ultra-pure water per
    hour. These best practices will be shared with other ST sites and we hope some
    will be recognized for their innovative aspects and adopted by the French
    Ministry of Environment.

    Hakim Taleb
    Industrial Program Manager, Water Agency,
    Brittany-Loire region (France)

    "The Water Agency, part of the French Ministry of Environment, has adopted a
    renewed and ambitious water management strategy, stipulating that two thirds of
    water resources must regain a good environmental quality by 2015. Industries are
    required to take all necessary preventive measures to reduce their water
    withdrawal, consumption, and emissions. Optimum water management can be achieved
    if all local participants (municipalities, companies, individuals) collaborate
    and are part of the decision-making process. Teams at ST Tours are engaged and
    committed to making environmental improvements, as demonstrated by the
    innovative study they conducted in 2011 on the site water consumption and usage,
    with the financial support of the Water Agency."

    Focus on ST Kirkop (Malta)
    water recycling program

    In Malta, as is the case on many islands, water is a scarce natural resource. To
    obtain freshwater, the country needs to desalinate increasingly more seawater to
    sustain the rising demand, while quality of groundwater is worsening due to
    intensive agricultural usage. This impacts water supply and results in an
    elevated price. Fully aware of this issue, Maltese people form elaborate plans
    to use water responsibly and not waste it.

    ST Kirkop, as one of the largest industries of the country, treats the water
    situation very seriously. Facing these geographical and economical issues, ST
    Malta has developed an ambitious program to improve the efficiency of water
    management, including both consumption and recycling. Two microfiltration
    modules have been installed along with a kinetic plant to filter waste water
    from wafer and package refining operations.

    Water then undergoes further purification, with removal of metals and
    neutralization of acidity, reverse osmosis to exclude impurities, and finally
    ion-exchange to achieve deionized water quality for reuse in factory operations.

    Since 1997, ST Kirkop has reduced its water consumption per production unit by
    87% and attained a notable water recycling rate of 76%. The water conservation
    program saves water equivalent to the domestic average use of 5,000 people,
    around 1.3% of Malta's population.

    Energy
    Management

    ST is committed to reducing its energy consumption and carbon footprint from its
    operations through energy efficiency and conservation programs along with the
    purchase of CO2- free and renewable energies. To mitigate its business exposure
    to climate change, ST carefully monitors and anticipates changes in the energy
    market.

    Why is energy management key
    for ST?

    In 2008, the EU adopted an integrated climate change policy including targets to
    reduce energy consumption by 20%, and to supply 20% of energy demand from
    renewable sources by 2020(1). Since the 1990s, ST has been working to mitigate
    its indirect Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions under scope 2 of the GHG Protocol.
    These initiatives have already halved our energy consumption per production
    unit, and work is ongoing to make further improvements in manufacturing
    efficiency. ST is now broadening its scope by adopting a full Total Cost of
    Ownership (TCOO) approach in its facilities and energy purchasing processes,
    which includes the procurement of renewable energy.

    ST's approach to energy purchase, consumption and conservation

    Sourcing strategy

    ST's main source of energy is electricity with only relatively low quantities of
    fuel and natural gas needed for air heating, abatement devices and general
    facilities. ST both generates and purchases green electricity. Our global energy
    sourcing department monitors and anticipates local regulations and the specific
    energy needs at each of our sites. When purchasing energy, we consider proposals
    that offer the optimum balance between cost and environmental impact. ST
    encourages sites to adopt and install renewable energy sources wherever
    possible; for example, ST Catania (Sicily) has installed 10,300 m2 of
    photovoltaic panels. In 2011, ST wind farm located in the south of France has
    contributed to 1.13% of our total energy requirements. To complement this
    approach, we selected a new energy provider in France able to provide 25% of the
    energy contract from renewable sources. We pursue our efforts to further
    increase the percentage of green energy we purchase, also dependent on us being
    able to negotiate a commercially acceptable price with other green energy
    suppliers.

    Also, to mitigate its business risks relating to energy and climate change and
    to increase stability in a volatile market, ST pays particular attention to
    market price volatility and CO2 emissions taxation regulations.

    Consumption, conservation and energy-efficiency

    ST's EHS Decalogue target is to achieve a cumulative reduction of energy
    consumption of 5% per year (per unit of production). As a result of the economic
    downturn and the decrease production output during the year, we have been unable
    to meet this target in 2011. However, we have major programs in place to further
    improve energy-efficiency in our processes, including some opportunities at our
    non-manufacturing sites. For example, in 2011, ST Geneva headquarter
    (Switzerland) added a requirement into its boiler maintenance contract to reduce
    energy by a minimum of 10% per year. Results were above expectations, with a 19%
    reduction in gas and a 6% reduction in electricity consumption, mainly due to
    better matching of consumption with need. ST also developed a Total Cost of
    Ownership (TCOO) approach for all Front-end and Back-end facilities, linked to
    the Company's total costs across all projects and processes. All ST contracts
    are now assessed on the total costs of acquisition, maintenance and energy
    consumption over a ten-year period. ST Crolles (France) purchased two air
    compressors in 2011 based on the TCOO approach. Energy cost represents eight
    times the price of the equipment over a ten-year usage period. TCOO will save
    around US$ 373k and 470 tons CO2 per compressor over ten years. ST also
    continues to focus on energysaving in our manufacturing facilities and the
    construction of energy-efficient buildings in order to meet our Decalogue
    targets.

    ST objectives

    o Reduce energy consumption by 5% per unit of production per year
    o Achieve an increase of 7% in the purchase of green energy by 2012
    o Formally include criteria on energy efficiency and use of CO2 emission-free
    and/or renewable energy in the selection of energy and facilities contracts
    by 2012

    Michel Curtil
    Industrial sector Director, GDF-Suez (France)

    "Europe advocates the move towards a low-carbon economy by 2050 with a decrease
    of between 80% and 95% in CO2 emissions. GDF-Suez has developed sustainable
    energy offers coming from guaranteed renewable sources aiming to answer both
    GDF-Suez and its stakeholders' expectations.

    In taking up the offer AlpEnergie25, ST France chose a sustainable approach to
    reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. AlpEnergie25 provides energy generated from
    dams we operate along the Rhone river. Thanks to the proposal from GDF-Suez, ST
    demonstrates its engagement for a more responsible use of resources. One quarter
    of its electricity consumption comes thus from renewable sources whose origin is
    certified by the German organization, TUV SUD."

    ST Agrate (Italy) certified to ISO 50001 The energy management Standard ISO
    50001(2), details the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining
    and improving an energy management system to increase energy efficiency, reduce
    costs and improve energy performance. Since mid 1990s, ST Agrate has integrated
    energy performance targets into its environmental management practices and made
    strong efforts on energy consumption, conservation and management. In 2011, ST
    Agrate was certified to ISO 50001, only the third company in Italy to achieve
    certification. ISO 50001 certification helped ST to meet several energy
    challenges through:

    o the identification and management of electricity consumption; analyzing and
    planning our electrical consumption enables us to secure the energy provisioning
    with power suppliers

    o the optimization of manufacturing equipment and the inclusion of energy
    efficiency parameters in the procurement of new equipment

    o the optimization of indirect CO2 emissions (Scope 2 and 3).

    Agrate commissioned external ISO 50001 certification which included an
    assessment of the site's energy management tools and systems. The site was
    commended for their very high level of performance, while identifying two areas
    of improvement; the need to improve the reliability of monitoring tools by
    putting in place systems to measure the loss of Freon gas from chillers, and the
    introduction of the latest electrical performance evaluation methodology in our
    new buildings.

    Thanks to ISO 50001, ST now has an additional instrument to improve energy
    consumption and environmental performance. Catania (Italy) and Rousset (France)
    sites will undertake the certification in 2012, and the Standard will be further
    adopted by other ST sites in 2013.

    The Environment

    Transport
    & Logistics

    ST is committed to managing the social, safety and environmental impacts
    resulting from transportation and logistics for products, materials and
    employees, considering overall efficiency and reduction of CO2 emissions.

    Why are transport and logistics
    key for ST?

    Transport accounts for 23% of global energy-related CO2 emissions and trends
    project an increase of nearly 50% by 2030(1). For global companies, the safe and
    efficient transport of products and people is a priority. Energy supply and
    price, natural or man-made events, pollution and congestion issues can all
    destabilize transport flows, which, in turn, can have a major impact upon a
    company's performance.

    At ST, transport represents 7.4% of our total CO2 emissions and we have a range
    of initiatives and programmes to minimize both our direct and indirect CO2
    emissions, as covered by Scope 3 of the Kyoto Protocol. We have implemented
    several company-wide programs to reduce our transport-related carbon footprint
    while maintaining the operational requirements of our internal and external
    stakeholders. We also offer a range of local initiatives to develop sustainable
    transport options for our employees.

    ST objectives
    o Reduce the carbon footprint of ST product transportation by 15%
    by 2014
    o Ensure that all sites have a formalized mobility plan to promote
    alternative and greener modes of transportation and evaluate the benefits

    Our approach to products and people transportation

    Product transportation and logistics

    Product transportation incorporates the transportation of semi-finished and
    finished goods between ST sites and to customers, and the transfer of equipment
    during manufacturing processes. We optimize routes and regularly update these to
    align with business strategy, economic fluctuations and customer demand. ST has
    developed a comprehensive and accurate record of its CO2 emissions by using a
    dedicated information sharing system defined with our logistics service
    providers. In 2011, we reduced the distance for each kilogram of product
    transported via the ST network by 11%.

    The ST transportation network is fine-tuned by:

    o minimizing product weight and volume during packing and shipping to ensure
    that more products are shipped per cubic meter

    o optimizing internal transport through efficient planning that considers
    freight footprint efficiency and frequency alignment with internal customers'
    needs

    o ensuring that the selected mode of transport is the most appropriate for the
    requested routing, in terms of cost, speed, quality and environmental impact

    o monitoring for changes in customer demand patterns or delivery points and
    engaging the sales organization in the optimization process

    o introducing direct shipment routes and taking every opportunity to reduce the
    number of kilometers for each kilogram of product travelled.

    In 2010, ST launched a Lean Packing Program to redefine packing guidelines, set
    new quality, safety and environmental criteria, and specified new rules for the
    use and reuse of boxes. One benefit is that it has delivered improvements in
    data reliability, enabling us to accurately monitor efficiency on a quarterly
    basis. In 2011, we reduced the shipped volume by 3.3% compared to 2010. This
    represents at least 30 containers.

    In 2012, we will continue to restructure our routings and will switch the
    transfer of internal equipment from air-freight to seafreight wherever the
    decommissioning or installation lead times permit.

    Employee commuting

    At a local level, many of our sites deploy innovative employee mobility
    programs, developing greener transport options and offering alternative
    solutions to the use of individual cars. Green transport initiatives are
    frequently promoted through specific campaigns and awareness-raising events.
    Incentives are also offered to encourage employees to use public transport,
    coaches or car-pooling networks. Furthermore, some sites are testing electrical
    cars, motorcycles or bicycles. Some sites e.g. Grenoble (France), have gone
    further than this to encourage the deployment of green transport plans by their
    local catering, cleaning and security subcontractors.

    1/ According to the International Energy Agency

    Focus on ST Calamba
    (Philippines) finished goods

    Flexibility and adaptation are key attributes for ST to ensure that its
    logistics models are adequate and aligned with business needs.

    As a result of a 20% increase of outsourced Back-end operations in the
    Philippines, ST Global Logistics & Warehousing Organization (GLWO) completed the
    optimization of its logistics network. Taking advantage of existing ST
    infrastructures and competences in Calamba, its central location in Asia, and
    anticipating further site growth over the next five years, GLWO decided that
    Calamba would be the best location for the additional inventory storage and
    operational capacity required for the increased logistics and warehousing
    activities.

    Several ST business units and organizations worked together during a six month
    period to find the best way to simplify shipping flow, utilize subcontractors'
    skills and experience and understand the constraints on the overall supply
    chain, in order to further improve efficiency while maintaining an effective
    delivery service to our customers.

    The newly created hub has enabled savings of over US$ 1.3m on freight costs and
    a two-day reduction in cycle time as a result of freight routing optimization,
    and a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions, equivalent to 1,400 tons of CO2 per year.

    Focus on package
    re-design

    The 12 inch Front-Opening Shipping Box (FOSB) is the biggest outer box used by
    ST to pack its devices. ST Global Logistics & Warehousing Organization (GLWO)
    developed a Lean Packing Program to re-design and optimize its packing and
    increase the efficiency of its use and transportation.

    The 12 inch FOSB packing was identified as a key contributor of waste due to
    material consumption, excessive freight costs and CO2 emissions. To find an
    economic and environmentally friendly alternative, five models with different
    sizes and materials were designed.

    Tests were based on the following criteria: quality (drop tests results),
    environment (less polluting material), and cost of transportation (volume).

    The volume of the re-designed FOSB packing has been reduced by 35%, while its
    robustness has been improved to avoid wafer breakage. This design is also
    lighter and makes manual handling easier and safer.

    Through this program, ST generated savings per year of US$ 450k in freight and
    material costs, a reduction of 725 m3 in volume and 220 tons of CO2 emission
    reduction.

    Antonio Infosini Infrastructure Sector Director, Strategic Interventions and
    Mobility, Provincia di Monza e Brianza (Italy)

    "To reduce the traffic and environmental impact generated by people
    transportation in the critical area of Milan and Monza e Brianza, we developed a
    sustainable mobility plan called Moving Better. This project created a
    collaborative network between municipalities and companies and as a result, more
    than 120,000 people are using public transportation and the innovative
    technologies, such as electric transportation.

    More than 50% of ST Agrate employees have participated in answering a specific
    questionnaire about commuting, which has enabled us to build a precise picture
    of the local situation and define smart actions to improve local mobility."

    The Environment

    Waste Management

    ST is committed to continuously reducing, re-using, recycling and managing waste
    streams from manufacturing sites including hazardous substances, metals,
    packing, plastics and other non-biodegradable materials.

    Why is waste management key for ST?

    The advance of science and technology, along with the development of a mass
    market with an increasing demand for the latest advanced electronics and
    electrical devices, has generated a large range of Information and Communication
    Technology (ICT) products and this has led to an ever increasing quantity of
    electronic waste. Several pieces of legislation require companies to observe the
    strict management of hazardous waste, including treatment, transportation and
    elimination, as well as managing products at the end of their life.

    Waste management is a key area for every ST site. Very strict controls are
    maintained over the whole process and the ST Environment Health and Safety (EHS)
    Decalogue contains ambitious targets to increase re-use and recycling ratios;
    also to identify the most appropriate solution for final disposal, thus avoiding
    sending waste to landfill.

    ST objectives

    o Reduce the generation of waste by at least 5% per year (kg per production
    unit)

    o Reduce the generation of hazardous waste by at least 5% per year (kg per
    production unit)

    o Re-use and recycle at least 95 % of waste

    o Reduce landfill waste to less than 2%

    Management on the overall
    waste chain

    Strategic management of waste

    Since 1995 and its first EHS Decalogue, ST has set stringent targets to reduce
    waste generated from operations and to re-use or recycle materials. At ST, even
    though waste is managed according to country prerequisites and local
    specificities, our EHS Decalogue requires that all sites meet the most stringent
    of either their national/local regulations or the company procedures. In 2011,
    more than 90% of waste generated was recycled and re-used, while less than 3%
    was sent to landfill.

    ST's waste strategy covers all waste streams, from operations, surrounding
    activities (offices, canteen, etc), and products(1). ST developed a Waste Ladder
    methodology to ensure an appropriate end-of-life treatment for each waste
    stream, based on its economic value and ecological impacts. Significant results
    have been achieved on: waste prevention; recycling and re-use; final disposal,
    monitoring, and auditing.

    Operational waste management

    Waste from operations is our more critical issue, as it may contain hazardous
    materials. We established an integrated process for the environmental management
    of waste covering compliance, monitoring of the quantity of waste produced each
    year, data collection and reporting. This was accompanied by the detailed
    assessment of the potential environmental impacts of operational waste
    generation. Dedicated areas have been built into all our manufacturing sites for
    waste collection, segregation and disposal. Each site ensures that waste is
    segregated and then managed as a distinct waste stream. These processes are
    aligned with national and local laws and regulations.

    ST pays particular attention to hazardous waste resulting from the production
    process which includes, for example, chemical substances, contaminated plastics
    and light-bulbs. Most hazardous waste is recycled or re-used and the remaining
    waste is safely disposed of by specially-authorized companies. Wherever it is
    possible, our hazardous waste is treated in the country where it was produced.
    In 2011, in accordance with the Basel Convention, none of our sites exported
    hazardous waste. ST sites seek and share best practices in a number of areas,
    for example the environmentally responsible transformation of waste,
    partnerships with local recycling companies, minimization of transportation,
    increased traceability, and the use of technological innovation.

    ST goes beyond EHS Decalogue targets through initiatives to revalorize office
    and canteen waste. We worked closely with several of our partners to improve
    their practices, and have especially worked with our canteen subcontractors to
    increase organic waste composting and the recycling of cardboard, bottles and
    cans. We also regularly raise employee awareness on their individual
    contribution to recycling.

    Focus on 96% achieved recycled waste at ST Muar (Malaysia)

    ST carries out recycling programs to comply with, and sometimes exceed, the
    waste disposal and recycling regulations in countries where we operate. In 2011,
    ST Muar identified new opportunities to minimize waste and recycle or re-use
    materials and attained a recycling rate of 96%, the best performance across ST
    Back-end sites.

    One of Muar's main achievements relates to electronic waste, representing 21% of
    the total site waste. To recycle the 35 tons of scraps and frames generated per
    month and ensure that the entire waste life-cycle is taken into account, ST Muar
    appointed a dedicated scrap metal recycling company. Electronic wastes follow
    several recycling process stages from scrap reception, burning, crushing and
    segregation, until the final step where the metals (gold, palladium, silver and
    copper) are recovered in ingots or bars and then sold. In 2011, to check the
    efficiency of waste processing, the EHS team at Muar conducted an audit of the
    recycling company's management system and practices against regulations and ST
    standards.

    In order to recover the 4% remaining, Muar continues the search for improvement
    actions and potential cooperation with new partners.

    Focus on hazardous waste recycling at ST Agrate (Italy)

    Solvents are mainly used in the semiconductor industry for the cleaning of wafer
    surface and of manufacturing equipment. The resulting used solvent is considered
    as hazardous waste. At ST Agrate, around 1,500 tons of solvents have been
    consumed in the past five years. The recycling of these solvents has been the
    main area of focus for the site's waste management activities.

    During the manufacturing phase, the portion of solvents that evaporate is
    collected and treated by specific abatement systems. The remaining liquid part,
    approximately 70% of the initial consumption, is segregated, collected though
    dedicated pipelines and disposed of in specific steel tanks designed to collect
    solvents safely. Solvents are then collected by a specialized company and
    transported to the final chemical plant where they are treated and recovered
    without the need for incineration. Spent solvents are re-used after undergoing a
    process of fractional distillation that purifies them without using additional
    materials. The products can be re-used in other industries e.g. the wood or
    plastics industries.

    100% of the solvents used and not evaporated are recycled and this initiative
    generates other positive environmental impacts with less pollutants and less CO2
    discharged. The site estimates these measures alone have saved the equivalent of
    400,000 kg of CO2.

    Frank Hsu
    CEO Falin International
    (Taiwan)

    "Falin has partnered with ST and other semiconductor industries for several
    years. Wafers are collected and recycled to make solar cells which are re-used
    in the photovoltaic market. Falin re-processes silicon using techniques which do
    not generate any harmful byproducts or waste.

    Firstly, we erase all information from used wafers using sandblasting. Secondly,
    we mix the used wafers with new silicon to produce ingots which are cut to make
    solar wafers for solar cells. This initiative is an example of how industries
    can work together to reduce cost and environmental impact. The amount of energy
    saved through this recycling is the equivalent of approximately 12.6 million
    liters of diesel fuel per year."

    The Environment

    Management
    of Chemicals

    ST is committed to reducing and managing its environmental, health and safety
    risks, and to achieving legislative compliance and alignment with customer
    requirements. We base the selection, use and substitution of materials on the
    precautionary principle along with our relevant specifications and procedures.
    We also aim for suppliers and subcontractors to be compliant with ST's
    specifications and procedures.

    Why is management of chemicals key for ST?

    The Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH)(1)
    regulation imposes a 2018 registration date for all substances produced or
    imported in Europe, according to specific timeframes that relate to the
    hazardous nature and quantity of each substance. Legislation on hazardous
    substance management is becoming more and more stringent, which is also
    reflected in ST's customers' requirements. Companies have to go beyond technical
    requirements to reduce consumption, substitute chemicals and ensure employee and
    environmental safety.

    Semiconductor manufacturing processes use several chemicals, especially in
    Frontend activities, which are classified as Substances of Very High Concern
    (SVHC).

    ST objectives

    o Reduce total consumption of chemicals by 5% per year (weight per production
    unit)

    o Strive towards continuous reduction and elimination of Substances of Very High
    Concern in our processes

    o Ensure 100% of key suppliers and subcontractors fully commit to ST
    specifications and procedures (through ST Banned and Exempted Substances
    specification)

    o Strengthen our management of materials of concern in our manufacturing
    processes through Chemical Risk Assessments

    These are defined as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR),
    bio-accumulative, persistent, or ozone-depleting substance (ODS). ST has an
    integrated and proactive strategy to manage chemicals throughout its
    manufacturing activities and supplychain to reduce the consumption of SVHCs and
    to substitute them whenever possible. We consider this as a key issue, and have
    worked successfully so far to anticipate legislation and develop a comprehensive
    policy that involves many ST departments.

    ST approach to hazardous material management

    REACH regulation addresses the production, importation and use of more than
    30,000 chemical substances into Europe. As a downstream user and producer of
    articles (our devices), ST must notify customers of the presence of SVHC in its
    products. In its path of compliance to REACH, ST has developed a substances
    substitution strategy. During recent years, we have been working on integrating
    the precautionary principles into the early stages of the selection of new
    chemicals. Substituting chemicals is very complex because we need to find viable
    alternatives which can take several years. Compliance with material standards
    has been coordinated by a dedicated working group since 2007. To meet REACH
    requirements, we replaced four SVHC substances that were included in the 2008
    and 2011 lists and plan to replace a further two substances. ST is also working
    alongside the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) and several industry bodies to
    ensure the alignment of the semiconductor industry sector to REACH regulation.

    ST has historically continually sought to reduce chemical usage and has
    developed corporate and local reduction plans, which include waste treatment(2)
    shared across all ST sites. Since 2000, the trend for chemicals usage reduction
    has been maintained with an overall percentage decrease of more than 5% per
    year. Initiatives include the substitution of the most hazardous substances,
    chemical recycling, process optimization and hardware modification to dilute
    chemicals and reduce the quantity needed. To eliminate Perfluorooctyl Sulfonate
    (PFOS) which is used for photolithography applications in semiconductor
    manufacturing, ST is working with the World Semiconductor Council (WSC) to
    eliminate them across the industry. In the meantime, and going beyond current
    legal European exemptions, ST Crolles (France) is already in the final stages of
    eliminating PFOS from its processes.

    ST requires that chemical risk assessments are performed at all ST sites before
    introducing any new substance. In 2011, this procedure was strengthened to align
    it with recent changes in substance classification introduced under European
    regulation. Chemicals are screened and evaluated based on strict engineering
    controls, hazard identification, along with an assessment of any collective and
    personal protective equipment needed to prevent any risk to Environment, Health
    or Safety.

    Further coverage of chemical components in ST's products is detailed in the
    ecodesign pages.

    recycling, see articles on waste management page 44-45

    Focus on management of chemicals in ST's supply chain

    In 2011, ST published its seventeenth list of banned, exempted and declarable
    substances which now includes over 1,600 substances. This list is reviewed
    annually to incorporate the most stringent worldwide regulations and standards,
    along with our customers' requirements. Its deployment over ST's supply-chain is
    coordinated by a dedicated team of internal experts.

    ST has implemented a robust process assessing the compliance of key materials
    suppliers and Back-end subcontractors' partners against this list. The list is
    thus communicated to all relevant ST suppliers and subcontractors, who are
    required to provide ST with legal statements and evidence that supports
    compliance. Examples of evidence include certificates of analysis, legal
    registrations and permits, material safety data sheets and due diligence
    surveys. Responses are reviewed and validated. The finalized list is issued to
    relevant experts for integration into chemical management processes throughout
    our supply-chain. In 2011, we received the best satisfaction rate so far in the
    response provided from our business partners, despite the increasing complexity
    of compliance. The management of chemicals is also integrated into the Supplier
    Performance Evaluation (SPE) performed at least annually, with improvement plans
    systematically requested if the evaluation indicates that the supplier does not
    meet ST standards.

    Focus on substance substitution at Back-end sites

    The European Chemicals Agency included Boric Acid in the candidate list of
    substances of very high concern, effective from 18 June 2010, in relation to the
    EU REACH regulation. Anticipating legislation, ST included Boric Acid in its
    banned, exempted and declarable substances list from 2009. One of our suppliers,
    Atotech, declared that Boric Acid was present in a chemical substance used for
    the cleaning process performed on some manufacturing machines, so we engaged the
    collaboration to develop a greener substitute. ST Longgang (China) followed by
    ST Shenzhen (China), the two only ST sites using Boric Acid, have made progress
    to phase this substance from their manufacturing processes. In early 2010, they
    conducted several tests with the substitute proposed by Atotech to ensure that
    it was not affecting process reliability. Several months were necessary to reach
    a final qualification. From June 2010, ST ensured its compliance towards
    applicable legal REACH requirements specified in Annex XVII, and went beyond
    this by completely phasing out Boric Acid in 2011.

    To encourage cross-fertilization among sites, the phase-out process, including
    technical details and process amendments, has now been shared across ST, to
    assist other sites that may face a similar situation. ST is currently working on
    other chemical substitution projects with its supplier Atotech in a
    collaborative approach.

    Dr. Juergen Barthelmes
    Worldwide Business
    Manager, Functional Electronic Coatings, Atotech (Germany)

    "To anticipate and build regulatory requirements into new substances and
    products, Atotech closely monitors EHS legislation that impacts upon its
    business. It constantly assesses the new products needs from local entities and
    initiates corresponding research and development projects. Also, to generate new
    ideas and find alternative substances, we closely cooperate with suppliers,
    original equipment manufacturers and external institutes/universities.
    Collaboration is also proposed with our customers to test new products and
    technologies using pilot sites. The main advantage with ST is that it
    independently drives change and is willing to test new, greener materials and
    technologies with Atotech. In the spirit of cooperation, customer satisfaction
    is imperative for our success."

    The Environment

    GHG Emissions from Operations

    ST is committed to managing and reducing its direct and indirect greenhouse gas
    emissions, including PFCs, from its manufacturing and other business operations,
    in accordance with scopes 1 to 3 of the Kyoto Protocol.

    Why is the reduction of GHG emissions important for ST?

    Climate change is considered as the greatest environmental challenge that we
    face as a human family(1). The Information, Communication and Technology (ICT)
    sector is responsible for about 2.5% of global carbon emissions, resulting from
    the production and use of ICT products and services(2). Our actions to reduce
    our carbon footprint cover both product and service areas, as detailed in the
    environment and products sections of this report.

    Even though the semiconductor industry is a relatively minor contributor to
    overall GHG emissions, it emits high Global Warming Potential (GWP) substances.
    ICT industry associations have set themselves ambitious targets to reduce
    perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in their manufacturing processes, in
    anticipation of further expansion of both national and international regulations
    and emissions targets.

    Since the early 1990s, ST has integrated climate change as a key element of its
    environmental policy and has consistently delivered annual reductions in the
    level of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted from its manufacturing activities. This
    has been achieved through a multi-faceted strategy that takes all aspects of the
    value chain into consideration and seeks to gain results through collaboration
    with our stakeholders.

    Our approach to mitigating direct
    Emissions

    Reducing environmental impacts at operational level has been a major focus since
    our first Decalogue in 1995. We measure, manage and report our direct and
    indirect emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol and the Global Reporting
    Initiative (GRI).

    For Scope 1 of the Kyoto Protocol (all direct GHG emissions), we developed a
    carbon roadmap, setting a target of carbon neutrality of our direct emissions by
    2015. ST's largest direct emissions result from the use of PFCs in our
    manufacturing processes. The reduction of these emissions can be achieved
    through the installation of PFC abatement systems for both new and existing
    equipment. To achieve our 2015 target and roadmap, we defined the priorities for
    each site that factored-in ST's growth rate. In 2011, we invested approximately
    US$ 6.3million in additional abatement devices for newly acquired equipment to
    meet ST's standards. PFC reductions have also been achieved through the
    development of greener manufacturing techniques, the optimization of process
    recipes, and the replacement of high GWP gases with lower or GWP-free
    alternatives. We compensate the remaining emissions through reforestation
    programs in Texas (USA), Australia and Morocco.

    ST is also an active member of the European Semiconductor Industry Association
    (ESIA) and signed a voluntary agreement in 1999 with the World Semiconductor
    Council (WSC) to reduce PFCs. After ten years of very positive progress, the WSC
    released a joint statement in May 2011 on the post-2010 agreement on PFC
    emissions reduction, with new targets set for the next decade. ST has committed
    to these targets. For 2012, ST will undergo third party validation of its entire
    GHG emissions and will continue to install further abatement devices on its Ang
    Mo Kio (Singapore) and Crolles (France) mature factories. ST's programs on Scope
    2 and Scope 3 of the Kyoto Protocol are detailed in the Energy Management, and
    Transport and Logistics pages of this report.

    (ITU)

    ST objectives

    o Reduce absolute PFC emissions by 30% in 2020 from 1995 baseline

    o Offset the remaining direct CO2 emissions through reforestation or other
    sequestration methods, to reach carbon-neutrality of direct CO2 emissions by
    2015

    Focus on the Carbon
    Disclosure Project (CDP)

    The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a UK-based initiative to monitor the
    greenhouse gas emissions performance of major corporations. Since 2006, ST has
    participated in the CDP Europe 300 Index that appraises the 300 largest European
    companies on their carbon emissions, energy use, reduction and risk management
    related to climate change.

    ST values the CDP's analysis and feedback as a driver to further embed carbon
    management in our corporate strategy, manufacturing processes, and product
    development. In 2011, we refreshed our approach to better evaluate our risks and
    opportunities. We strengthened the communication of our data and programs and
    improved the accuracy and quality of information. In 2011, the CDP Investor was
    a top priority for ST, and we substantially improved the CDP Investor score to
    REACH an "above average" rating of 73/100. We are conscious that we still have
    room for improvement and one of our main actions for 2012 will be to conduct an
    in-depth climate change risk and opportunity assessment. To broaden our
    commitment, we also commenced participation in the CDP Supply Chain (in 2010)
    and CDP Water (in 2011) programs on a voluntary basis.

    Focus on ST Rousset
    (France) installation of
    11 PFC abatement systems

    One of ST's initiatives to reduce its GHG emissions is to install PFC abatement
    systems. Despite the economic crisis, ST Rousset installed 11 Thermal Process
    Unit abatement systems on its new machines between 2010 and 2011. The Rousset
    eight-inch wafer factory was originally designed to incorporate environmental
    point-of-use systems. Since then, the site has consistently endeavored to
    improve the treatment of its atmospheric emissions.

    In ST's Front-end sites, PFCs are mainly used in small quantities at two
    specific stages of the manufacturing process. At these stages, dedicated
    abatement systems are implemented to divert a large part of the gases through a
    network of aqueous scrubbers, which capture them into a state where they can be
    treated appropriately. To avoid the risk of accidental pollution, ST has built
    in safeguards that automatically halt production processes if any scrubber is
    malfunctioning or not operating.

    The capital investment in these solutions has been US$ 2m. Had the equipment not
    been installed, our PFC emissions would have been double their current value.
    Rousset is now ST's best performing site in terms of PFC emissions.

    Claude Morant
    Front-end Manufacturing Group Vice President,
    Operations and Site Director of ST Rousset
    (France)

    "The Rousset 8-inch wafer plant was designed from the start to be a 'green
    semiconductor plant'. We selected the best available technology for PFC
    elimination to achieve and maintain full PFC abatement. Any new investment in
    manufacturing equipment includes the installation of a Thermal Processing Unit,
    along with facilities for ultra-pure water reclamation and fluoride waste water
    treatment. To pursue this ambitious goal, we have put in place improvement
    programs that involve all parties to target the source of pollution as far as
    possible by developing alternative chemicals and processes (with lower or zero
    Global Warming Potential gases) and by increasing the efficiency of PFC
    extraction."

    * In 2011, we incurred a marginal 1.73% increase in our direct emissions. This
    was mainly due to emissions from existing equipment that we are in the process
    of fitting with abatement devices.

    For newly installed equipment, we have invested US$ 6.3million in additional
    abatement devices so that it can meet ST's requirements. Without this
    significant investment, we estimate that our direct emissions would have been
    much higher (see Rousset example).

    The Community

    The Community

    Local Sustainability
    Impacts

    In today's world, engagement between companies and their local communities is
    multifaceted, taking into account many diverse views and interests. Effective
    engagement has the potential to benefit many stakeholders, including the local
    community population, government and general civil society. Within ST, community
    engagement forms a central pillar of our culture with many site-based
    initiatives and activities providing social and environmental support. The ST
    Foundation is also one of the ways in which STMicroelectronics contributes to
    communities.

    How does ST engage at local
    level?

    Currently, ST's engagement with communities consists of two main threads; local
    initiatives directly managed by sites and initiatives that are managed through
    the ST Foundation. ST's worldwide presence is highly diverse and multicultural,
    ranging from small sales offices to R&D and design centers or major
    manufacturing sites located across a range of countries and continents. It is
    our aim to generate positive local community impacts in a variety of ways;
    economic (e.g. through investments in infrastructure, local purchasing), social
    (e.g. employment, education and charitable activities), and environmental (e.g.
    reforestation, environmental protection).

    ST's local community engagement and volunteering encompasses raising awareness
    on environmental protection, disability, science and education to young
    generations, fund raising and charitable activities, to name a few. Our
    objective is to professionalize our approach so we have decided to draw on the
    available expertise and will therefore use the example of the London
    Benchmarking Group's methodology to help us better evaluate our community
    investments, improve and simplify our reporting and help share good practices.

    The ST Foundation

    Since 2003, the ST Foundation has helped reduce the digital divide (the gap
    between those who have access to modern digital technologies, and those who do
    not) in both developing and developed countries through a worldwide computer
    literacy program, Digital Unify (DU).

    The ST Foundation's governing body, its Board of Directors, takes decisions on
    areas such as financial management and approval of projects. The Board meets
    three times a year and its agenda includes the review of past activity and plans
    for future work.

    The Board is chaired by Pietro Fox, President, and is composed of both ST and
    non-ST members: Mario Arlati (Treasurer), Mauro Decca, Alain Dutheil, Tjerk
    Hooghiemstra, Otto Kosgalwies, Guy-Philippe Rubeli. Pasquale Pistorio, ST's
    former CEO, is Honorary Chairman. A Geneva-based team takes care of project
    management and day-to-day administration, with local support in India and
    Morocco to ensure a close overseeing of the many initiatives taking place in
    those two countries. Significant support is provided by a network of ST
    volunteers who work on several aspects of the Digital Unify (DU) program.

    Digital Unify has offered free computer access and training to over 148,000
    beneficiaries since its inception. In 2011, the ST Foundation's Board of
    Directors validated a new roadmap for Digital Unify, based on two themes:

    o the development of a Local Community program, based on a network of ST
    volunteers at each major ST site. This was successfully launched with the
    support of ST's top management

    o the development of Digital Unify in Sub-Saharan Africa, starting with
    strengthening the existing projects in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of
    Congo.

    In addition, all ST site managers give priority to the ST Foundation when
    disposing of computers from the ST pool. The recovered computers and associated
    hardware are used to equip laboratories set up in partnership with ST Foundation
    as part of the Digital Unify program.

    ST objectives

    o Support ST Foundation's initiatives

    o Formalize a company community engagement strategy and evaluate its impact

    Focus on ST Calamba's
    'We Believe' program

    ST Calamba (Philippines) has a strong record of community engagement over many
    years; providing short-term livelihood programs to communities in need.
    Recently, Calamba's management team has launched a new initiative to broaden and
    reinforce its community engagement.

    Four strategic objectives have been set:

    o to build more beneficial and sustainable community programs

    o initiate close partnerships with communities neighboring the site

    o promote simple acts of goodwill

    o provide exciting opportunities to promote employee volunteering This program,
    called 'We Believe', is built around three pillars:

    o Environmental recovery and sustainability: A partnership has been formed with
    the Haribon Foundation and the local farmer's cooperative in Caliraya (Laguna)
    to plant or adopt 20,200 trees by 2020. Through the active involvement of the
    employee volunteers and the direct engagement of the community, this objective
    will be achieved in less than five years. To date, in 2011, 9,100 trees have
    already been planted.

    o Humanitarianism: A partnership with the Children's Joy Foundation helps
    orphaned children with their educational needs. A further partnership with the
    Cancer Warriors Foundation helps impoverished children with cancer to have
    access to timely and appropriate diagnosis, proper treatment and high-quality
    care. ST also works with the Philippine National Red Cross to support a program
    to provide disaster response and relief distribution.

    o Employee volunteering: Employee clubs (various clubs are active at site level
    with annual budget and plan) across ST Philippines participate in at least two
    community activities every year.

    By the end of 2011, the total number of community volunteers reached 345.
    Community activities are now conducted outside office hours, but all programs
    that were launched still benefit from the participation of volunteers. The
    target number of volunteer hours for the year was 1,600 but this was exceeded
    with 2,032 total hours being volunteered. Such programs have a very significant
    positive impact, both on employees' morale and on the local communities, who
    recognize the contributions made by ST employees. ST Calamba has received
    several external recognitions over the years.

    See the 2011 Awards' list on pages 62-63.

    Focus on the impact of STMicroelectronics on the Grenoble-Isere community

    The fast-growing, high-tech and investment-intensive microelectronics industry
    is a major driving force behind local economies. It contributes to regional
    development through salaries and taxes, also by supporting and promoting various
    local services such as information systems and consultancy companies, temporary
    employment agencies or security companies.

    In 2011, the Grenoble Chamber of Commerce and Industry commissioned and financed
    a study in the context of the economic development of the territory and to this
    end evaluated ST's impact on the community. With the help of the Grenoble
    Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and by gathering and analyzing data from
    several ST Departments, subcontractor companies, research institutes and French
    State services, Reverdy came to the conclusion that STMicroelectronics, who
    employs 6,000 people in Isere, generates a flow of (euro) 460 million annually
    into the Rhone- Alpes region. Each job at ST Grenoble and ST Crolles creates at
    least one job at one of ST's subcontractors or suppliers and four additional
    jobs in the service industry. ST Crolles and Grenoble therefore contributes in
    total to sustain approximately 26,000 jobs in France. ST Crolles ranks second in
    France in terms of industrial jobs created over the past 20 years. The report
    also highlights the intangible benefit of the presence of industrial leaders
    such as ST in the Grenoble area, as pioneers that built an internationally
    renowned high-tech establishment, giving a boost to the 120 innovative companies
    within the Grenoble ecosystem that can attract customers from around the world.

    The Community

    Public Affairs
    & Industry Networking

    Today, in developing their strategies, leading companies, including ST,
    proactively engage at a global, national and local level with a range of
    stakeholders such as trade associations, industry groups and standard-setting
    bodies. This engagement contributes to ST's enhanced competitiveness.

    ST objectives

    o Strengthen our network of public and industrial affairs activities worldwide;
    create and observe good sustainability practices as well as efficiently manage
    sustainability-related risks and opportunities

    Everywhere, a dual vision based on development and partnerships ST has the key
    objective to promote the electronic industry's potential in all countries in
    which the company is located.

    No matter the location, the strategy is the same even if the approach may vary
    according to the country, culture, local reality and existing infrastructure.

    Focus on Europe

    The microelectronics industry in Europe must constantly adapt and innovate to
    remain competitive. Although the European Commission offers support to Research
    and Development, this stops short of industrial investments. It rests with
    companies to find innovative ways to enhance their competitiveness and ensure
    their long-term sustainability.

    European electronics companies are often at a commercial disadvantage compared
    with their competitors in other continents and support is needed from the
    European authorities to maintain the competitiveness of these companies in their
    policy-making alongside the interests of European end-users of electronics
    goods.

    According to Gerard Matheron, Site Director of ST Crolles (France) and President
    of SITELESC(1), one of the most significant events in this area has been the
    formation of a High Level Group (to which Carlo Bozotti participated), nominated
    by three European Commissioners. The Group delivered a report in June 2011 on
    the KETs, Key Enabling Technologies for Europe, including nano-electronics and
    semiconductors. It is expected that this report will positively influence the
    future landscape of our industry, in particular in the areas of industrial scale
    pilot lines for manufacturing and public support for industrial investment, in
    those regions that will benefit from the new Smart Specialization of the
    region's policy.

    In France, ST is playing a leadership role across all locations where we
    operate, forming partnerships with universities, laboratories and a variety of
    large and small companies in Tours, Paris, Rousset, Grenoble and Crolles.
    Multi-annual programs are set up and administered by ST, such as Nano2012 for
    Grenoble-Crolles and, more recently, Tours 2015 and MAGE(2) for Rousset. ST's
    local teams also contribute expertise to many European projects within the
    Cluster for Application and Technology Research in Europe on NanoElectronics
    (CATRENE), the Joint Initiative for European Nanoelectronics ENIAC and the
    Framework Programs 7 (FP7). ST's engagement is also focused on environmental
    protection, safety and security and in these fields, partnerships are also
    important.

    ST is recognized for its leading role in environmental preservation; cooperating
    with other French companies and laboratories to develop new
    environmentally-friendly technologies and to disseminate best practices.

    Environmental initiatives in the region surrounding Crolles often receive the
    full support of ST environmental experts.

    Our safety and security officers also meet with colleagues from competitors to
    analyze past incidents, promote best practices and share expertise, within the
    framework of SITELESC.

    In Italy, Pietro Palella, Managing Director of STMicroelectronics Italy,
    believes that we have a dual engagement:

    o contribute to developing local ecosystems by both forming and participating in
    clusters to develop new programs and ideas with university R&D centers,
    suppliers and start-up companies. The key areas of focus are: innovation,
    safety, energy saving, R&D and the transfer of technology. On environmental
    issues, ST shares its good practices through professional seminars and working
    groups within the Confindustria, the Italian employers' federation, the most
    important federation of industrial companies. For safety, ST has been identified
    as best-in-class within the whole Italian industry. Our local safety experts are
    members of a special team, created by government to help Italian companies
    reduce injuries and improve their safety practices.

    o elicit Italian funding for R&D projects

    and partnerships. In our industrial sector, R&D demands a wide set of
    competences so it is very critical to launch partnerships with the academic
    community, which involves the application for public grants to promote the
    industry's economic and social contribution to the local community.

    syndicate of the semiconductor industry)

    2/ Microcontroleurs pour l'Autonomie a Grande Efficacite Energetique

    Focus on Asia

    In Asia, Francois Guiber t, Executive Vice President, President, Greater China
    and South Asia Region strongly believes in the value of strategic partnerships,
    whether with universities, government, trade associations, standards boards,
    industry groups, etc. It is essential for the success of any company. No company
    can operate in isolation. This strategic engagement makes good business sense
    and ensures long-term business sustainability.

    This is especially critical in Asia where ST has established strong research
    partnerships with top universities in China, Taiwan, India and Singapore to
    collaborate on advanced R&D projects and next-generation technologies. This
    helps to advance innovation and also positions ST at the forefront of academic
    and technical achievement in the minds of students, who are our future human
    capital. Examples include ST's eight-year partnership with top Tsinghua
    University, one of China's top universities which is one of the most successful
    at forging links with foreign companies. Also in India our partnerships include
    the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi Technology University and the Indian
    Institute of Sciences.

    We have also formed mutually-beneficial partnerships with many government
    agencies, including; Economic Development Board (Singapore), Agency for Science,
    Technology and Research (Singapore), China Electric Power Research Institute,
    Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan, The Energy and Resources
    Institute (India), Bureau of Indian Standards, National Electronics and Computer
    Technology Center (Thailand).

    Furthermore, several trade association partnerships have been formed around
    areas of sustainability i.e. energy saving, environment, water, healthcare,
    education, culture and the arts. Examples include the European, Italian and
    French Chambers of Commerce, the Indian and Philippines Semiconductor
    Associations.

    How can an innovative technical breakthrough turn into a national regulation?

    Here is a very concrete example of how a company like ST can contribute to
    propagate technical good practice within the industry ...

    French law requires the regular health and safety certification of pressurized
    equipment, following procedures defined by the Ministry of Industry.

    Semiconductor facilities use pressurized purifiers to deliver ultra-high-purity
    (UHP) gases to the manufacturing units. The catalysts used in this process are
    particularly sensitive to de-activation if they come into contact with water,
    making it impossible to conduct conventional water pressure testing, as required
    by the law. To address this problem, a team from ST Rousset and ST Crolles
    (France) developed a safe and environmental alternative. They brought together a
    multi-site team that worked on the project along with local government
    environmentalists.

    First of all, the teams obtained an agreement from the local authorities to
    provide relevant data needed to prove the absence of corrosive conditions inside
    the equipment. Then, they formed a partnership with the French group "Institut
    de Soudure" who had an innovative, non-invasive examination technique called
    acoustic emission, which applies a mechanical pressure to a vessel, and monitors
    the elastic energy that is released. This ingenious method detects potential
    fatigue cracking or brittleness in the welds or on the steel structure of the
    vessel. This solution was adopted by the authorities and incorporated into
    national regulation by the French Ministry of Industry for all manufacturers who
    deal with ultra-highpurity gases.

    Partnerships in R&D
    & Education

    Direct contribution to R&D programs can help ST create value for its customers
    and remain among the industry's most innovative companies. Moreover ST's ability
    to attract the younger generation is an important indicator of its successful
    involvement in local R&D and academic ecosystems.

    Why are partnerships in R&D and education important for ST?

    In the global semiconductor industry, research & development (R&D) is organized
    in clusters. Corporate R&D investments may reach levels of an average of over
    20% of turnover and, for ST, strategic alliances create many opportunities for
    cross-fertilization and synergistic ways of working.

    Investment in, and partnerships with, local universities and other institutions
    help to provide sustainable, long-term engineering and technical resources in
    the vicinity of ST's operations.

    ST objectives

    o For the short- to mid-term: ensure ongoing growth of ST's technical and
    specialist populations recognized through the technical ladder (individual
    paths)

    o For the mid- to long-term: raise young populations' employability by providing
    access to PhD, apprenticeships and internship experience

    There are five worldwide clusters that have developed comprehensive R&D
    ecosystems which include many universities, engineering schools and
    laboratories. To be efficient, such clusters need to reach a critical size and
    be linked through an intelligent communication network. ST leads the French /
    Italian cluster.

    In addition to these global clusters, ST has developed its own R&D clusters
    around its major R&D locations: ST Crolles and ST Grenoble (France), ST Agrate
    (Italy) and ST Dehli (India). These clusters correspond to the 3 main pillars of
    ST's R&D strategy, leveraging technical resources (manufacturing, process R&D
    and design) that are then supported by R&D alliances with key partners.

    In addition to developing its ecosystem, ST ensures the growth of its internal
    technical and experts' population via a program called "Technical Ladder".
    Throughout a technical career path, specific recognition systems are applied to
    strengthen ST's technical capability, increase innovation and promote technical
    achievement. This promotes the engagement and retention of our best technical
    experts by:

    o promoting a clear technical career path and liked evolution

    o creating an environment to support and stimulate continuous shared knowledge
    and innovation

    o providing visibility, recognition and reward to key technical contributors

    An integrated program has been developed to structure technical specialists'
    career paths and technical development under the guidance of technical advisory
    committees. The program includes aspects such as levels of expertise,
    eligibility criteria, and a nomination process up to company Fellow.

    ST raises young peoples' employability by providing student access to PhDs,
    apprenticeships and internships' experiences around the world. Each year,
    hundreds of students join ST sites for a period of between 3 to 6 months for
    interns, 1 to 2 years for apprentices and 1 to 3 years for PhD's, to bring,
    share and develop their ideas for innovation within ST.

    An award for innovation, the ST's Innovation Cup launched in 2011 in partnership
    with French, Italian and Swiss universities, is also a further example of ST's
    commitment to the next generation.

    Increasing the young generation's awareness of science and entrepreneurship

    ST participates in various partnerships to promote technical and scientific
    careers, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit amongst young people and
    students.

    Launched in September 2011, the Global Enterprise Project is a three
    year pan- European initiative to promote greater awareness amongst young people
    about entrepreneurship and globalization. It is initiated by the European Round
    Table of Industrialists (ERT), a forum of about 50 European industrial leaders,
    including the President and CEO of STMicroelectronics. The program is set up by
    the Societal Change Working Group of ERT which is currently chaired by ST. The
    initiative is supported by Junior Achievement-Young Enterprise Europe, Europe's
    largest provider of entrepreneurship education programs, and European Schoolnet,
    a network of 30 ministries of education.

    Throughout the school year, young people aged 15 to 18 are given the opportunity
    to develop and apply entrepreneurial skills. Assisted by their teachers, the
    students are exposed to a variety of learning-by-doing approaches that include
    contact time with professionals and volunteers from a range of industries. They
    also have the opportunity to create and run a minicompany of their own, applying
    valuable skills such as team-building and business awareness in a globalized
    economy.

    A one-day innovation workshop named Global Enterprise Challenge is organized
    once a year. Coached by volunteers from industry, students from different
    nationalities overcome language barriers and cultural differences to solve a
    specific challenge, designed and presented by industry experts. They then
    present their findings in public. This year's challenge was hosted in Paris and
    included 60 secondary school students from 11 countries.

    inGenious is a European coordinating body for science, technology, engineering
    and mathematics, aiming at triggering youngsters' interest in science and
    technology to encourage them to join engineering schools and engage in technical
    careers. inGenious was founded by the ERT and European Schoolnet in December
    2011. Based on an innovative partnership between major European industrial
    companies and the academic community, this initiative has the objective to
    improve young people's knowledge of science careers and to better prepare them
    to join the industry. Best practices are collected and evaluated by the
    inGenious partners and tested in 150 pilot schools before implementing them
    across 1,000 classrooms in 15 European countries. ST Crolles (France) collected
    and submitted best practices from various locations, such as High Tech U and
    ST3e, the Week of Industry, From Silicon to Wii, and The Robotic Exhibition.

    "I believe it is important to establish the right conditions in school for
    children to express their creativity, while at the same time confronting them
    with the reality of the world of work. I am also convinced that much needs to be
    done to make science and technology more attractive for children by promoting,
    for instance, more practical experiences. It is only by combining
    entrepreneurship education and interaction with business that young people will
    develop the practical skills, knowledge and attitudes that will inspire them to
    be innovative. We want them to be able to put ideas into practice, to improve
    their local communities, to start up a business, to initiate and implement an
    innovation process at work, and so on."

    Management of Sustainability in Supply Chain

    ST suppliers and subcontractors are required to commit to ST and EICC policies
    and standards, comply with legislation and meet customer requirements. This
    includes managing health, safety and the environment, along with social and
    ethics aspects. These partnerships contribute to raising the overall levels of
    corporate responsibility across the electronic industry's supply chains.

    Why is ST engaging its suppliers and subcontractors?

    Sustainability not only includes managing the environmental and social impacts
    of a company's own activities, but also incorporates accountability for the
    consequences of its decisions. The recently published ISO 26000 standard,
    Guidance on Social Responsibility, emphasizes this point by encouraging
    organizations to examine operations, prevent risks, create awareness, promote
    positive actions and build capacity throughout their spheres of influence.

    Building mutually beneficial partnerships with suppliers and subcontractors is
    extremely important to ST to help us incorporate the latest advances in process
    technologies that are necessary to remain competitive. Partnerships are also
    beneficial ways to ensure long-term and reliable access to raw materials in a
    very volatile market. ST has built a track record of positive engagement with
    suppliers and subcontractors on environmental, health, safety, social and
    ethical topics. We are convinced that supply chain performance in these areas is
    closely linked to ST's overall performance.

    A multi-faceted approach

    For a large multinational company like ST, monitoring and improving the
    sustainability of suppliers and subcontractors poses a major challenge. ST
    procures materials, goods and services from thousands of sources around the
    world, managed from both central organizations and local sites. In recent years,
    we have worked to strengthen and develop environment, health, safety and social
    requirements for our supply chain.

    At corporate level, a supply chain team promotes sustainability and develops
    long-term relationships by: choosing suppliers and subcontractors with reliable
    social and environmental standards and practices; assessing risks to ensure ST
    business sustainability; and applying stringent social and environmental
    criteria.

    These programs are split into four main areas:

    1/ Social responsibility

    Since 2005, ST has been a member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship
    Coalition (EICC) and is committed to deploying the EICC Corporate Responsibility
    model throughout its supply chain. By 2011, more than 90% of our main suppliers
    and subcontractors had signed the EICC engagement letter (See more details on
    page 59).

    Thereafter, significant suppliers and subcontractors were invited to complete
    the EICC online Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). By the end of 2011, 124
    SAQs had been completed, an increase of 25 compared to 2010. ST compiles
    detailed analysis of these assessments and requires suppliers and subcontractors
    to address major non-conformities with improvement plan proposals. To gain
    knowledge of the EICC approach and industry issues, 100% of suppliers have also
    been engaged in specific e-learning. Since 2009 we are pleased to report a
    steady increase in SAQ average scores. The next step of the EICC program is
    validated supplier assessment through third party audits. By the end of 2011,
    twelve of our suppliers and subcontractors had been audited. A further critical
    area of social responsibility, conflict minerals, is also covered by the
    EICC-GeSI program.

    For more information on this area, see pages 28-29.

    2/ Environment, health and safety ST requires all its suppliers and
    subcontractors to comply with the banned, exempted and declarable substances
    list to ensure our compliance with all legal and customers' requirements ( See
    page 47). We collect and collate data certificates and Materials Declaration
    forms from suppliers and subcontractors and use these to compile our own product
    Materials Declarations. These product chemical identity cards are then provided
    to our customers so that they, in turn, are able to demonstrate the compliance
    of their products. We also carefully monitor and check the compliance of our
    materials suppliers and subcontractors to the EU REACH and other applicable
    regulation such as RoHS(1).

    1/ Restriction of Hazardous Substances, European directive on the restriction of
    the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment

    We also encourage suppliers and subcontractors to gain certification to ISO
    14001 (or EMAS) and OHSAS 18001 to provide evidence of the robustness of their
    environmental, health and safety management systems. 3/ Risk management

    ST has an integrated approach to risk identification and mitigation that
    includes risks relating to sustainability but also business performance of
    suppliers and subcontractors. We want to be sure that our suppliers and
    subcontractors support sustainable growth for ST, our employees and our
    customers.

    To assess business continuity risks in the supply chain, we request our
    suppliers and subcontractors to provide evidence of business continuity
    planning, including disaster recovery and contingency plans, multi-sourcing and
    geographical diversification of production. In 2011, 95.5% of key suppliers and
    subcontractors had provided comprehensive responses to this survey. In addition,
    key suppliers' and subcontractors' financial risks are monitored on a monthly
    basis. At the end of 2011, 92.2% were classified as low risk and 7.2% as medium
    risk.

    Our global risk management approach demonstrated its effectiveness during the
    2011 major natural disasters in Japan (earthquake and Fukushima nuclear
    disaster) and in Thailand (heavy flooding).

    4/ Sustainable purchasing

    Responsibility in our supply chain is not only about having responsible
    suppliers and subcontractors, but also about being responsible ourselves.

    In 2011, ST launched a Sustainable Procurement Policy which outlined our
    ambitions to: promote green supplies for non-manufacturing procurements;
    reinforce EHS requirements in facilities and energy supplies (See page 40);
    introduce green guidelines to promote eco-labels and green certifications;
    integrate EHS indicators (such as CO2 emissions, energy and water consumption,
    waste generation and safety results) into our sourcing activities and deploy our
    Sustainable Purchasing Charter to SMEs.

    The SME Charter is an initiative from the French Ministry of Economy, Industry
    and Employment and has been endorsed by many large French companies. Signatories
    pledge to improve their relations with suppliers, especially with small and
    medium-sized companies. ST has nominated Alain Denielle, Sustainable Development
    Group Vice President, as the internal mediator in charge of facilitating the
    problem resolution between ST and its suppliers, when both parties, i.e.
    suppliers and purchasing department, have already attempted to resolve the
    situation through normal discussion, without any success.

    For more information on the SME charter, visit www.st.com pages

    Sustainable purchasing at ST France

    In 2011, ST France was involved in two major programs linked to our Sustainable
    Procurement Policy.

    It has been a pilot for the promotion of green procurement of nonmanufacturing
    items that are less harmful to the environment and human health, including
    criteria such as greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption during the
    manufacturing phases, use of hazardous materials, recyclability of products etc.
    A workgroup that includes end-user employees has been working alongside ST
    office materials supplier to increase the percentage of green products purchased
    by ST. For that we have rationalized the product offer available in the catalog
    and at the end of 2011, we went from 2,000 items to 650. Our target now is to
    increase green products purchased in France from the current level of 10% to 60%
    by the end of 2012. This initiative will be extended to other European sites
    next year.

    ST France has also joined Pacte PME, an industry-led initiative to encourage
    cooperation between small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and big industrial
    companies. The objective is to share good practices, jointly build industrial
    programs, and propose solutions to governmental bodies that meet the needs of
    both small and large entities.

    ST has already pledged to diversify, extend and increase our cooperation with
    innovative SMEs, business organizations and competitiveness clusters.

    ST objectives

    o Ensure 80% of suppliers (by purchasing volume) are involved in the EICC
    compliance program (annually)

    o Ensure none of these suppliers are classified "high risk" based on Self-
    Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs)

    o Continuously reduce the number of non-conformances arising from SAQs and
    audits

    o Ensure all of ST's major sites deploy the EICC approach to local suppliers

    o In 2012, deploy the Green Procurement guidelines in Italy

    The Community

    Bribery & Corruption

    ST is committed to upholding and promoting the highest standards of integrity
    and business conduct across its global business operations.

    Attaining the highest standards of integrity and business conduct

    We are committed at the highest level to fighting all forms of corruption and to
    promoting the highest standards of business ethics wherever we operate. This
    principle applies to all people working for, and on behalf of, ST.

    ST's Code of Conduct, our Principles for Sustainable Excellence, defines our
    corporate policy on business conduct and ethics (P11). We have robust processes
    in place to ensure that all ST employees are aware of these Standards, including
    formal signature. I SO3 I

    ST provides formal channels for employees and business partners to raise
    concerns relating to aspects of business conduct; either via an external
    ombudsman or through a confidential channel directly to the Corporate Ethics
    Committee. Employees are made aware of these via the internet, intranet and
    supporting internal communications.

    The contact details are also sent to suppliers on request. All reports received
    through these channels are raised at the Corporate Ethics Committee and all
    valid concerns that fall within scope are investigated.

    During 2011, 22 cases were reported through these channels resulting in four
    investigations. Allegations are classified according to 10 categories. The
    nature of allegations and investigations during 2011 included: conflict of
    interest, bribery, tone at the top, code of conduct interference,
    discrimination, harassment, improper use of company assets and security. Not all
    reported incidents result in full investigations. The Corporate Ethics Committee
    may determine that a thorough review or audit will suffice. Further concerns are
    raised through other routes, including Corporate Security, Human Resources and
    local line management. These are reviewed and investigated at an appropriate
    level. There were no reported cases of corruption during 2011. I SO5 I

    Regional Ethics Committees have been introduced in India, United States and
    Japan/Korea in order to oversee the implementation of corporate policies and to
    provide local compliance support and monitoring.

    Raising senior management Awareness

    To improve employees' knowledge of compliance risks and to better-equip them to
    deal with potential situations, online training has been given to employees of
    job grades 18 and above, covering Conflicts of Interest and Compliance with the
    Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), a US law that prohibits the bribery of
    foreign officials and establishes certain accounting requirements:

    o 'Avoiding Conflicts of Interest' presents several types of conflicts of
    interest and how to react when facing these situations. It is based on two
    modules: Introduction to Conflicts of Interest and Maintaining Integrity. It
    concludes with a short assessment on the concepts covered in the two modules

    o 'Complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act' helps employees understand
    the types of activities prohibited under the Act. This module explores the FCPA,
    the indicators of potential FCPA violations and the type of gifts and
    entertainment that could violate the Act.

    Each module contains situations faced by employees of a fictitious organization.
    As the situations unfold, trainees are asked to make ethical business decisions.
    At every decision they receive feedback which includes important messages.

    The completion of both courses was mandatory for employees of job grades 18 and
    above with a completion deadline of January 2012. The courses helped to
    reinforce ST's fundamental values and responsibilities.

    ST objectives

    o Train 7,000 employees in antibribery and anti-corruption (e.g. FCPA, Insider
    Trading, Code of Conduct, Conflicts of Interest) and reinforce internal controls

    o Communicate updated whistle blowing channels to 1,000 employees in EMEA region
    in 2012 and employees from remaining regions in 2013

    Reinforcing our risk management Approach

    In 2011, ST created a specific Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Steering
    Committee with the remit to support the Strategic Committee in the
    identification, assessment and management of risks and to oversee the company's
    ERM processes.

    The revised ERM system incorporates all business functions at every level of the
    company.

    The ERM Steering Committee responsibilities include:

    o validating the ERM framework, guidelines and associated management processes

    o defining annual ERM objectives and the
    implementation schedule

    o validating the corporate ERM reporting System

    o reviewing outputs of ERM processes

    o ensuring risk management good practices are promoted and shared throughout the
    company

    o supporting management in achieving ERM goals

    o monitoring progress through management reviews

    o identifying and proposing to Strategic Committee where and how risk management
    responsibilities and activities can be further integrated.

    The ERM Committee will also drive ST's alignment with the risk management
    standard, ISO 31000 which will provide a framework for the formal monitoring and
    ongoing evolution of the ERM management systems and processes.

    "Performance with integrity has been a main staple of the ST culture for 25
    years. As the company continues to expand its global reach, we must be cognizant
    of the company's risk exposure to bribery and corruption. Fraudulent activity
    can be covert and indirect. It is up to all of us to work to ensure that we are
    aware that these potential risks exist and do all we can to mitigate them."

    WEEE/ (EN27)

    As a supplier of components to the electronics industry (and not manufacturers
    of electronic equipment), we are not directly affected by the European Directive
    2002/96/ EC Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

    The Environment

    In 2011, environmental performance sometimes failed to meet expected targets.
    There are two explanations:

    o the economic crisis of 2009 and the decrease of production in 2011 have
    impacted ST's normalized indicators which are performance expressed per unit of
    production. However, the absolute values of energy, water and chemicals are
    consistent, irrespective of production output, due to the need to maintain
    constant conditions in production areas i.e. temperature, hygrometry etc.

    o after 15 years of environmental improvement, it becomes more and more
    challenging over time to further advance our performance.

    The method used to calculate the savings shown in this table is the following:
    1) we set a baseline using the 1994 model with the assumption that there are no
    installation enhancements, except for chemicals for which the baseline is 2000;
    2) this baseline is projected each year (in relation to the quantities
    produced); 3) each year, the actual value is compared to this projection; and 4)
    the result shows the theoretical benefits due to the installation improvements
    concerning the savings for energy, water and the use of chemicals. Total costs
    cover expenditure of environmental management areas (including waste and
    remediation) and yearly net investment and equipment depreciation.

    Evaluating our practices
    against IS0 26000

    Det Norske Veritas Business Assurance France S.A.R.L. ('DNV Business Assurance')
    has been commissioned by the management of STMicroelectronics NV ('the Company')
    to conduct a gap analysis on the current status of the Management of Key
    Sustainability Issues and how they are integrated within the organisation's
    practices In accordance with clause 5.2.2 of the ISO 26000 "Guidance for Social
    Responsibility".

    To that respect the scope of work agreed upon with the Company did include the
    following tasks:

    o Review of Principles and Core Subjects and how their implementation
    contributes to the Company's Sustainability Strategy and the achievement of
    Sustainability Objectives;

    o Visits to three sites (Rousset-France, Ang Mo Kio-Singapore, Muar- Malaysia)
    and interviews with internal stakeholders. These visits took place in April
    2012.

    As a leading service provider in the field of sustainability solutions, DNV
    Business Assurance promotes the use of ISO 26000 toward companies willing to be
    more efficient in contributing to Sustainable Development.

    To facilitate this DNV Business Assurance uses a tool that :

    - Allows stakeholders to share their views with the organisation;

    - Promotes the importance of stakeholders' dialogue ;

    - Recognizes the principles of Social Responsibility;

    - Facilitates the review of Core Subjects so as to identify relevant issues;

    - Is transparent with regard to the activities performed, the subjects included
    in the scope of work and the Stakeholders involved and their contribution to the
    improvement of the Management of Key Sustainability Issues.

    Since the tool is aimed at applying the ISO 26000 standard the reports and
    comments made have to be understood as opportunities for improvements in the way
    best practices are being implemented.

    During our visits on the Company's sites we have interviewed employees at
    different levels in the organisation about their perception on the Company's
    Strategy and how the Principles and the relevant Core Subject of the ISO 26000
    standard were being applied in relation to the Sustainability Strategy and in
    the particular context of the organisation. No interview with External
    Stakeholders was conducted. Participation of External Stakeholders to the
    definition of the Company's Sustainability Strategy was checked through records
    and documents review.

    As Principal Considerations we can state that as STMicroelectronics'
    Sustainability Strategy and objectives are just being rolled out a particular
    emphasis was put on the actual implementation of the ISO 26000 Standard through
    the organisation. We found best practices already well implemented in the fields
    of Governance, Labour Practices (Health & Safety issues); The Environment
    (management of GHG emission); Customer Issues and Fair Operating Practices
    (anti-corruption practices).

    On the other hand it was perceived that some actions were implemented but needed
    stronger internal awareness to better follow the guidance provided by the ISO
    26000 standard on the Core Subjects of Human Rights (particularly in the supply
    chain), The Environment (Energy & Water management) and Fair Operating Practices
    (promoting sustainability in the sphere of influence).

    This document represents a meaningful synthesis of the complete report provided
    to STMicroelectronics in April 2012 and which states the robust implementation
    of best practices for reaching the Company's Sustainable Objectives.

    We acknowledge the efforts made by the Management of STMicroelectronics to use
    ISO 26000 as a framework to integrate social responsibility into their values
    and practices.

    DNV is not involved in the actual management of Sustainability Issue for the
    organization. It is left to the responsibility of the organization to identify
    and implement opportunities for improvement in this domain.

    DNV Business Assurance expressly disclaims any liability or co-responsibility
    for any decision a person or entity would make based on the content of this
    letter to the Management of STMicroelectronics NV.

    With Best Regards.

    The ST Sustainability Report 2011
    is printed on paper produced by a
    manufacturer that is certified to ISO
    9001 and ISO 14001. Printing uses
    chlorine-free pulp which enables both
    recyclability and renewability, and
    a chemical free, pre-press system.
    Furthermore the paper used is certified
    by the Forest Stewardship Council and
    the Program of Endorsement for Forest
    Certification Chain of Custody. These confirm that the paper used comes from
    controlled forests that are well managed according to strict environmental,
    social and economic standards, and links the production chain from source of
    timber through to paper manufacture and the final printing process.
