Continuing the journey of excellence and shaping a climate resilient future with our supply chain partners

TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Semiconductor--ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (ASE Holdings. NYSE: ASX, TAIEX: 3711), held its annual Supplier Day today to extend the company’s appreciation to all its suppliers and to present awards to the outstanding suppliers of 2023. The event was attended by representatives from over 110 suppliers that serve ASE Holdings’ subsidiaries – ASE, SPIL, and USI. As the leader in semiconductor assembly, test, materials, system design and manufacturing, suppliers play a critical role in supporting ASE Holdings’ business strategy and growth.

“The ASE Holdings procurement organization has evolved significantly over the years. Today, we are directing our focus on consolidating resources and streamlining processes,” said Andrew Tang, Chief Procurement Officer of ASE Holdings. “Our goal is to transform the procurement function into a key driver of value for our customers and the industry, by fostering collaborative partnerships and innovative strategies with suppliers. This annual event serves as a platform for the company to express gratitude to our valued suppliers and to recognize outstanding ones with the supplier awards,” he continued.

ASE Holdings is steadfast in its dedication to promote sustainability across its supply chain. Over the past two years, the company has sponsored and guided 19 suppliers in obtaining ISO 14064 greenhouse gas emissions and ISO 14067 carbon footprint certifications. During the ceremony, ASE presented certificates of appreciation to the suppliers who have worked hard to achieve this certification.

At this year’s event, two suppliers were also honored with the distinguished Supplier Sustainability Award for 2023. The recipients submitted winning proposals on sustainable collaboration that align closely with ASE Holdings’ corporate sustainability strategy centered on the four key pillars of Low-Carbon, Circular, Inclusive, and Collaborative.

“We are currently navigating a new normal across the semiconductor business landscape. From shifting regional dynamics, resource dilution, talent disruptions to climate change, forward-thinking approaches are necessary to enhancing resilience,” said Tien Wu, Chief Operating Officer of ASE Holdings. “While we must continue to strengthen our ESG framework, we firmly believe that forming lasting, trust-based partnerships with suppliers who share our goals and values is foundational to long-term success and a more sustainable future for all. Once again, we congratulate all the winners of 2023 and look forward to setting new milestones of excellence together,” he continued.

The ASE Supplier Day is held annually as a platform for ASE Holdings and its suppliers to network and exchange information, as well as to honor the best-in-class suppliers of the past fiscal year.
