Guardians of the Seas
To support UN SDG 14 and address marine environment degradation, we collaborate with community members and volunteers in a year-round coastal cleanup activity as part of our marine environment conservation project. We also encourage ASE employees and diving enthusiasts to join the ASE Environmental Scuba Dive Team and participate in ocean and coastal clean-up activities to protect marine life and preserve biodiversity.
Partnering with Startups for Green Energy and Carbon Reduction
The champion of ASEH's third Sustainable Innovation Competition, Guangtai Green Energy, introduced a micro-hydropower technology that can be applied to our water recycling facilities. We are also working with previous winners on circular packaging solutions, launching a recycling initiative in Kaohsiung that has successfully recycled over 960,000 bottles and 1,760 kg of batteries. This initiative fosters community involvement in recycling and supports low-carbon lifestyles, underscoring our commitment to sustainability.

Gearing Towards Net Zero
We have completed the validation of our 2030 and 2050 emissions targets with SBTi. Our carbon reduction initiatives are focused on areas including carbon credit investments, renewable energy, low-carbon transportation, low-carbon products, supply chain engagement, and the exploration of forest-based carbon sinks in Taiwan. We have partnered with the International Climate Development Institute (ICDI) to develop a methodology tailored to Taiwan’s native forests that is aimed at enhancing carbon sequestration.

Adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards
In response to the global shift toward mandatory sustainability reporting, ASEH has established a cross-functional task force, led by its CFO and CSO, to align our practices with IFRS Standards. The company has integrated existing Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks and enhanced the internal control systems to ensure the credibility of sustainability disclosure. Starting in 2027, we will incorporate sustainability-related financial information in our annual report, further enhancing transparency and investor confidence.

Building Carbon Reduction Resilience through Supply Chain Collaboration
We have developed five strategic initiatives to tackle our Scope 3 emissions: selecting low-carbon suppliers, enhancing carbon data transparency, using low-carbon materials, equipment and logistics, and establishing a low-carbon ecosystem. Specifically, ESG performance makes up 10% of our supplier evaluation score. Additionally, we have invested in consultancy support to help suppliers improve their carbon inventory capabilities and reduce emissions. So far, 28 suppliers have participated in our carbon advisory program and obtained third-party certification.

Sustainable Impact of Smart Factories
ASEH began investing in automated, lights-out factories in 2015 with the goal of driving digital transformation and building customer trust through three key areas: automation, heterogeneous machine integration, and heterogeneous system integration. In 2022, its Kaohsiung bumping facility joined the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network, marking another major milestone.
