ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (TAIEX: 3711, NYSE: ASX), the
leading provider of semiconductor packaging, test and system
assembly services, today announced that it has achieved the best
overall performance on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI)
- Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Group for the
sixth consecutive year. The DJSI achievement is a firm recognition
of ASE’s outstanding performance in sustainability in tandem with
growth and innovation in a competitive global industry.
As the best-in-class company on the Semiconductors and
Semiconductor Equipment Industry Group, ASE received the highest
scores in customer relationship management, innovation management,
risk and crisis management, privacy protection, environmental
reporting, product stewardship, social reporting, human rights, and
corporate citizenship and philanthropy as well as full marks in 8
other categories. This year, a total of 65 companies were assessed
in the Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Group
and 9 of the companies including ASE made the cut on the 2021 DJSI
World. The DJSI World index represents the top 10% of the largest
2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index based on
long-term economic, environmental and social criteria.
“Despite facing headwinds and the uncertainty of a prolonged
Covid-19 pandemic since 2020, ASE managed to record healthy profits
and a steady revenue growth of 21% in the first three quarters of
the year,” said Jason Chang, Chairman and CEO, ASE Technology
Holding. “It is an honor to be selected as a DJSI industry leader
again on the 2021 index, and we will continue to play an active
role contributing positively to the environment, economy and
society,” he continued.
Charting a Low Carbon Future. As the threat of a climate
crisis intensifies, ASE is aggressively reducing carbon emissions
through the submission of targets to SBTi (Science Based Targets
Initiative), committing to Net Zero emissions by 2050. Around the
world, ASE has 11 factories powered completely by renewable energy.
Overall, the company has increased its renewable energy use by 38%
year on year, accounting for 18% of total energy consumption. ASE
operates the largest semiconductor water recycling facility in
Taiwan. The water recycling facility allows ASE to reuse each drop
of water up to three times and surpass an accumulated volume of 20
million tons of water recycled.
Creating a Quality Workplace. To mitigate the impact of
Covid-19 on business operations, ASE continues to invest in
technology and infrastructure to develop robust response and
recovery mechanisms. The well-being of employees are top priorities
at ASE and the company is committed to providing a quality
environment that ensures their health and safety. In the early days
of the pandemic, the company built a class 100K clean room facility
to manufacture high quality medical-grade face masks for
distribution to employees free of charge.
Promoting Social Cohesion. The ASE Cultural and
Educational Foundation and the ASE Foundation for Environmental
Sustainability are responsible for developing long-term social
projects in line with ASE’s social involvement strategy through
‘environmental conservation’, ‘industry-academia collaboration’,
‘community engagement’ and ‘public advocacy’. Programs include
installation of LED lights in schools, smart grid deployment in
Shanlin Junior High, reforestation projects and elderly care
activities. The acceleration in digital transformation has allowed
ASE to extend the deployment of digital technologies into the
public education realm. Recently, ASE has incorporated augmented
reality (powered by a fast 5G mmWave network) at its Green
Technology Education Center. The center uses AR to offer visitors
an immersive experience that increases their understanding of ASE’s
strategies in water recycling and water management.
“At ASE, we are driving our global operations towards higher ESG
standards in line with the company’s Integrate, Expand and Innovate
strategies. We remain committed to leading the charge in improving
the quality of life in a smart world and creating a better future
for all,” Jason Chang concluded.
