ASE’s sustainability leadership recognized with
an inclusion in the iconic annual global index that ranks the ESG
performance of large cap public listed companies
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc (ASE, TAIEX: 2311, NYSE:
ASX), the leading provider of semiconductor assembly and test
services, today announced that it has once again been included in
the 2017 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World and the
Emerging Market segments. For the second year in a row, ASE was
also named the sector leader in the Semiconductors and
Semiconductor Equipment Industry Group, one of 24 groups
represented on the DJSI.
In the Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry
group, a total of 49 large publicly listed companies were included
in the assessment and only 5 companies made the 2017 DJSI World
list. ASE is the only outsourced semiconductor assembly and test
service provider to be included as an index component and also
recognized as the semiconductor industry leader with strong ESG
(environmental, social and governance) performance.
The inclusion of ASE as a component in the DJSI World is an
endorsement of the positive impact of the company’s actions to
manage economic, social and environmental challenges while
maintaining technology innovation and long term growth. The DJSI is
the gold standard for corporate sustainability and a key reference
point for investors and stakeholders worldwide.
The DJSI World was launched in 1999 and is the first global
index to track the leading sustainability-driven companies based on
RobecoSAM's analysis of financially material Environmental, Social,
and Governance (ESG) factors and S&P DJI's robust index
methodology. RobecoSAM assesses the world's largest companies
through its annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), which
uses a consistent, rules-based methodology to convert an average of
600 data points per company into one overall score that ultimately
determines inclusion in the DJSI. For more information on the Dow
