The shift to smart and green factories is strategic to sharpening our manufacturing competitiveness and accelerating sustainability development. We have incorporated low-carbon building principles progressively by following international and local green factory standards to upgrade existing facilities, and construct new manufacturing and office buildings. To reduce environmental impact, we conduct extensive whole building life cycle assessments to integrate sustainable design choices from the very initial stage of our building projects. In addition, we have strived to meet the criteria mandated by Taiwan’s Green Factory Labeling System, which includes the passing of the Clean Production Assessment. As of 2025, we have 14 green factories and have received 27 green building certifications (LEED/EEWH/low-carbon building) as well as 25 clean production certifications.
The demand for higher productivity, quality and precision in manufacturing is accelerating the digital transformation across all our factories. The integration of AI and automation in our production processes allow us to stay ahead of the competition and provide leading edge technologies and services to our customers. We are actively investing in the construction of smart factories at ASEKH, ASECL, SPIL, and USI, achieving a coverage of 45% in Taiwan by the end of 2025. To establish professional talent in automation and smart manufacturing, we have developed 16 industry-academia technology and research projects in 2025. In parallel, our talent development program will train an estimated 6,662 automation and smart manufacturing engineers.
