Corporate Sustainability

Reflecting on 40 Years of Journey

Since its establishment in 1984, SPIL has reached its 40th anniversary and is glad to continue moving forward with you. Today, it is a world-renowned packaging and testing company, with a 28,300-fold increase in revenue over the past 40 years. This achievement is a result of the hard work of all stakeholders.

The AI trend is sweeping across the globe, while the international landscape and economy are constantly evolving. SPIL continues to advance AI packaging technologies without fear. In order to support demand for AI chip, the Company proactively invests in the R&D and application of AI advanced packaging technology, while also continuing to implement the sustainable development goals in its core business. In alignment with the parent company, ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd., SPIL put the concept of sustainable development into practice, and has been recognized as a leader in the "Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry" by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for 9 consecutive years.

Caring for the Environment, Society, and Corporate Governance to Create Sustainable Value Together

As the greenhouse effect intensifies and the temperature continues hitting new highs, we are committed to implementing carbon management in our operation. We plan to conduct the ISO14067 product carbon footprint inventory in 2024, with the goal of completing inspection certifications for all products by 2027 and establishing a carbon emission coefficient database for raw materials. By analyzing the carbon emission hotspots of products, we will take the lead to foster supplier engagement and promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in the supply chain. In 2024, we assisted 2 suppliers in obtaining ISO14064 or ISO14067 certificates and encouraged 45 key material suppliers to obtain ISO14064 certificates.

SPIL adheres to the concept and mission of sustainability and gives back to society. We extract the "silicon" raw material from the silicon sludge generated during the production process to make basketball and yoga pads. Our products feature flexibility, abrasion resistance, and non-slip, and have passed the SGS testing, meeting national safety standards. We donated these sports products to rural schools, giving children the opportunity to learn about environmental sustainability while engaging in sports. This project has been completed in collaboration with 9 schools, including Shicheng Elementary School in Taichung City, Wanhe Elementary School in Changhua County, and Xinzhuang Elementary School, Laihui Elementary School, Dongxing Elementary School, Erlun Elementary School, Houpu Elementary School, Erlun Junior High School, and Huwei Junior High School. A total of 500 units have been donated, benefiting 614 children. Transforming waste into reusable resources reduces both waste generated and carbon emissions, produces products, and enriches educational resources, achieving the triple goals of resource sustainability, a circular economy, and social care.

At SPIL, stringent adherence to corporate governance standards and regulatory compliance is a fundamental commitment, underscored by the Company's steadfast policy of "no compromise on compliance." Every employee is accountable for upholding SPIL's code of conduct and adhering to pertinent laws and regulations. Additionally, SPIL has established business ethics guidelines in accordance with relevant domestic and international laws and the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. These guidelines require adherence by directors and all employees. Ethical management is regarded as an important corporate culture.

Embrace Intelligent Innovation and Create a Sustainable Future

The concept of sustainable development has quickly become a consensus between governments and enterprises around the world. In response to the net-zero carbon emission targets proposed by governments around the world, companies have adjusted their operating strategies based on ESG indicators to prepare for future challenges. In particular, since the new U.S. President took office, the semiconductor industry has faced uncertainty and economic fluctuations. We believe that only by continuously observing and swiftly responding to changes can we remain resilient in the face of change.

As a global leader in packaging and testing, we are committed to pursuing sustainable operations and proactively investing in the development of the AI industry to create advanced packaging and testing technologies. We are fully committed to building new plants, creating more job opportunities, driving economic prosperity, and demonstrating our initiatives as a pioneer in sustainability.

Promoting the three pillars of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is the foundation for developing a sustainability strategy blueprint. We will continue to improve and offer sustainable packaging and testing services, engage in close communication and cooperation with all pioneer stakeholders, and ensure our decisions reflect our future responsibilities and commitments. In this era of challenges and opportunities, we believe that through continuous innovation and effort, we will reach new heights in the next four decades, leading the industry benchmark and contributing to the global sustainable development.
