As part of the company’s endeavor to drive sustainable development across the supply chain, ASEH launched the Supplier Sustainability Awards in 2017 to recognize suppliers with outstanding sustainability performance.
In 2020, we launched the Supplier Sustainability Awards, a brand new category that aligns with 2 of our core sustainability strategies - low-carbon and circular. The program encourages suppliers to submit sustainability partnership projects of between 1-2 year duration, for reviewed by ASEH and independent third parties. The submitted projects undergo a rigorous selection process based on the implementation timeframe and efficacy, and selected projects will be funded by the ASE Environmental Protection and Sustainability Foundation.
We believe that a creative model with built-in incentives could accelerate the achievement of a circular economy and a low-carbon transition that allows ASEH to increase value and capture business opportunities. Recognizing the efforts of our suppliers through the awards will boost their commitment to sustainable development and encourage more suppliers to be proactive in advancing a sustainable future for the semiconductor industry. Collaborating with our suppliers on the path to sustainability, every two years, we will select and fund unique sustainability projects that have the potential to demonstrate a high degree of positive influence and produce beneficial results.
