Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc (TAIEX:2311, NYSE:ASX),
the world's largest semiconductor assembly and test service
provider, today hosted a Supplier Forum in Kaohsiung for its global
suppliers. The forum was organized to launch the ASE Group
‘Supplier Sustainability Award’ for the year 2017. It is also a
platform for ASE to communicate the purpose of the award, the
assessment criteria as well as to incorporate sustainability within
the ASE supply chain, thus creating more positive impacts to the
industry as a whole.
Approximately 250 representatives from 100 companies worldwide
supplying goods and services including raw materials, indirect
materials and chemicals to ASE were in attendance. The forum was
also supported by executives from distinguished industry
organizations and academic institutions including KPMG
Sustainability Services, National Kaohsiung First University of
Science and Technology’s College of Management and the
International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Management.
“At our annual Supplier Award Ceremony this March, we announced
the creation of a ‘Sustainability Supplier Award’ category for the
Year 2017. It is our hope that our supply partners not only work
with us on technology and supply support but also incorporate
sustainability within their management system,” said S S Lee,
General Manager, ASE Corporate Procurement. “The ASE Group is
committed to work with our suppliers to raise the global standards
for a sustainable, innovative and ethical supply chain network for
a win-win relationship.”
As a global leader in outsourced semiconductor assembly and
test, ASE is also seeking to set an example for the OSAT and
semiconductor industry in achieving excellence in sustainability.
ASE has engaged the National Kaohsiung First University as an
independent assessor to design questionnaires, tools and scorecards
to evaluate suppliers on their sustainability practices. The ASE
supplier sustainability evaluation focuses on 6 categories –
sustainability management, supply chain management, environmental
practices, health and safety, labor rights and sustainability
performance. At today’s forum, ASE also shared with participants
the trends and perspectives on Sustainability Management, to
further encourage their commitment to sustainability issues.
“Sustainable supply chains are critical to a business’ long term
success and it is an area that is of concern to our customers,
shareholders and the community we operate in. Today’s forum
demonstrates our efforts to work closely with our supply partners
to establish strong corporate governance polices including
sustainability,” said K C Chou, Senior Vice President, ASE
Kaohsiung.
