ASMedia Environmental Responsibility Policy

ASMedia strives to play a positive role in the community and takes into account the environmental and social impact while making business decisions. We are committed to corporate social responsibility (CSR). To improve the quality of life of the local community and society at large while contributing to economic development, we undertake four CSR initiatives: 1) reduce carbon emissions; 2) recycle and use renewable energy; 3) engage in community and create sustainable value together; 4) adhere to sustainable manufacturing principles. We also expect our business partners and stakeholders, including suppliers, contractors, customers, joint ventures and communities, to adopt these initiatives and follow the CSR principles as well. The same principles apply to the merger and acquisition processes.

ASMedia is committed to applying eco-efficiency to all business aspects, from purchasing, R&D, and production to packaging, marketing, logistics and service operations. We continue to improve energy efficiency and build a green environment and supply chain that aim to use low energy, save resources and transition to zero pollution. By doing this, we hope to reduce the business impact on the environment and the society while increasing productivity in manufacturing and adding value to the products and services.

The policy complies with the sustainable manufacturing principles and encompasses the following aspects: design and development, procurement and supply chain, production and manufacturing, transportation and logistics.
