These aforementioned endeavors have helped us lead the electronics industry in 5 major criteria of the 2018 DJSI corporate sustainability assessment: “Codes of Business Conduct”, “Innovation Management”, “Product Stewardship”, “Social Reporting’, “Labor Practice Indicators”. And our cooperation with the Delta Electronics Foundation for the promotion of environmental education and green buildings has supported us lead in the “Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy” criteria. Furthermore, our proactive effort on climate policy and industrial automation talent cultivation was the main catalyst for improving the “Policy Influence” score and to achieve this year's industry leadership position.

* The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices were launched in 1999 as the first global sustainability benchmarks. The indices are offered cooperatively by RobecoSAM and S&P Dow Jones Indices. Each year, they invite the world's 2,500 largest companies, classified as 60 RobecoSAM industries to report on their sustainability performance. The results of the Corporate Sustainability Assessment provide an in-depth analysis of economic, environmental and social criteria. The indexes serve as benchmarks for investors who integrate sustainability considerations into their portfolios, and provide an effective engagement platform for companies that want to adopt sustainable best practices.
