ASE30 Environmental Conservation Fund
demonstrates commitment to Taiwan’s environmental conservation and
protection efforts
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (TAIEX:2311, NYSE:ASX)
today announced it has received the 2016 Asia Responsible
Entrepreneurship Award (AREA) in the category of “Social
Empowerment” for its ASE30 Environmental Conservation Fund (ECF).
The AREA program recognizes and honors Asian companies for
championing sustainable and responsible entrepreneurship and
implementing programs that demonstrate their leadership, sincerity
and ongoing commitment in incorporating responsible and ethical
values, legal compliance, respect for people and individuals,
involvement in communities and protection of the environment into
the way they run their businesses.
“Despite the globalization of the ASE Group, the company has not
forgotten its beginnings in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where its first
semiconductor assembly production facility was established in
1984,” commented Jason Chang, Chairman and CEO, ASE Group. “Taiwan
is an island with finite resources, and through the ASE30
Environmental Conservation Fund, we hope to ensure the continued
protection of the land and care for the local community.”
The ASE30 Environmental Conservation Fund, for which ASE is
being honored, was established in 2014 to commemorate the company’s
30th anniversary and to promote programs in support of
environmental protection efforts in Taiwan. The company has
committed to contributing NT$100 million (US$3 million) per year
from the NT$3 billion (US$100 million) fund for the next 30
years.
The ECF focuses on four key aspects — environmental education
promotion, environmental quality enhancement, environmental impact
minimization and environmental arts promotion. To date, ASE has
undertaken the following projects under the ASE30 ECF:

Seeking to lead by example, ASE personnel themselves have been
actively involved in organizing and participating in the programs
funded by the ASE30 ECF. Since the fund’s establishment two years
ago, approximately 60 schools and 230,000 students have benefited
from the program, and over 84 hectares of land have been reforested
with the planting of 90,000 native trees.
Going forward, ASE will continue to reinforce its corporate
social responsibility through the integration of its technology
know-how and financial and human resources for the greater good of
the local community. ASE will continue to advocate for the
nurturing, support and hiring of local talent in an effort to raise
the quality of living standards. ASE will also further pursue green
initiatives and sustainability objectives as a responsible
corporate citizen.
