Business Wire
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE, TAIEX: 2311,
NYSE: ASX) was today recognized by Thomson Reuters as a 2018 Top
100 Global Technology Leader. The inaugural program identifies the
tech industry’s most operationally sound and financially successful
organizations.
The study, the industry’s first holistic assessment of today’s
leading tech companies, utilizes a 28-point data-driven algorithm
to objectively identify organizations with fortitude for the future
in today’s complex business environment. The patent pending
methodology, developed by the Thomson Reuters Boston Innovation
Lab, is based on eight principle pillars of performance: Financial,
Management and Investor Confidence, Risk and Resilience, Legal
Compliance, Innovation, People and Social Responsibility,
Environmental Impact, and Reputation. These 100 awarded companies
are those whose final scores across the pillars outshine over 5,000
other technology companies around the world.
“We are honored to be named a Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global
Tech Leader,” said Dr. Tien Wu, Chief Operating Officer, ASE. “This
achievement clearly demonstrates our relative success in elevating
our organization to the next level of greatness by offering the
best in technology innovation, customer experience, and investor
satisfaction, and most importantly, raising our standards in
corporate sustainability,” he added.
“Tech companies operate at warp speed confronting competitive,
regulatory, legal, financial, supply chain and myriad other
business challenges. Oftentimes, their financial success
overshadows operational integrity, making it difficult to identify
those organizations with true fortitude for future success,” said
Alex Paladino, global managing director of the Thomson Reuters
Technology Practice Group. “With the Top 100 Global Tech Leaders,
we’ve identified the unique data points that embody technology
industry leadership in the 21st century; congratulations to the
companies that made the list.”
