70、 Climate Change Conference(COP 28)concluded with an unanimous agreement that climate transition must be accelerated to fulfill the Paris Agreement targets of keeping global temperature rise well below 1.5C.For that to happen,it is necessary to achieve a 43%annual reduction in global greenhouse gas e
71、missions by 2030 compared with 2019 levels.Adding to the immense climate challenges,the global economy has yet to recover fully from the pandemic due to various factors including destocking,geopolitical and inflationary impacts.Despite the adverse environment,ASEH remains proactive and optimistic,an
72、d determined to transform crises to opportunities.We are deeply committed to applying the four pillars of our sustainability strategy-Low Carbon,Circular,Inclusive,and Collaborative,and leveraging on the semiconductor value chain to develop more efficient AIoT environments and devices that will enab
73、le generations to enjoy a smarter and more sustainable lifestyle.Low Carbon Transition and Pursuing Responsible and Sustainable DevelopmentsIn alignment with the call to reaching net zero emissions by 2050,we have developed five strategic action plans-investments in carbon credits,renewable energy,l
74、ow-carbon transportation,low-carbon products,and supply chain engagement.These plans are formulated in accordance with the reduction pathway guidelines of the Science-Based Targets Initiative(SBTi).We have developed a Renewable Energy Platform that will drive our subsidiaries to increase the use of
75、renewable energy through energy self-sufficiency,power purchase agreements,and renewable energy certificates(RECs).In 2023,84%of ASEHs facilities worldwide used renewable energy or RECs,accounting for 20%of the companys total electricity consumption.Of which,12 of ASEHs facilities have achieved RE10
76、0.The actions taken by all our subsidiaries have resulted in a reduction of 603,327 tCO2e.Besides climate change,we are also deeply focused on biodiversity conservation.ASEH has adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to draft the Biodiversity and No Deforestation Policy in 2023,s
77、erving as a guidance for the companys conservation efforts.We are continuously conducting assessments on the nature-related risks of our global facilities,and developing counterstrategies from the identification of all nature-related dependencies,impacts,risks,and opportunities associated with our o
78、perations.On top of that,were taking steps to incorporate nature related risks and opportunities into our overall strategic planning by adopting the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures(TCFD)and Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures(TNFD)frameworks,and publishing our Climat
79、e and Environmental Report to disclose our actions for climate change and biodiversity.Building Climate Resilience with a Circular EconomyWithout doubt,the earths climate changes are triggering heavier rainfall,worsening drought,and other extreme weather events.These developments have a huge impact
80、on our business operations.In order to strengthen the companys resilience,we have consistently formulated comprehensive adaptation strategies including the opening of Taiwans first industrial wastewater recycling plant at ASE Kaohsiung in 2015.Since then,we have successively established water recycl
81、ing plants at our other facilities in ASE Chungli,ASE Malaysia,and ASE Singapore to treat and purify wastewater for reuse.These recycling plants have helped convert nearly 80%of wastewater from our production processes for reuse,greatly reducing our water consumption and strengthening our facilities
82、 capabilities in mitigating potential water disruptions resulting from extreme weather.In 2023,we formulated the Water Resource Management Policy as a guide for all subsidiaries to implement and manage water conservation,water recycling,and water contamination.For the year 2023,we recorded an annual
83、 cumulative water savings of 1.28 million metric tons.The United Nations has set an ambition to complete negotiations on a Global Plastics Treaty by the end of 2024.The treaty aims to ensure that businesses gradually reduce the volume of plastics used,and consequentially lower the environmental impa
84、ct of plastic waste.In response,ASEH has adopted the circular economy approach to address the potential transition risks generated from this development.In 2022,ASE Kaohsiung established the Plastic 11OPERATING MODELSUSTAINABLEGOVERNANCEINTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITYINNOVATION SERVICEGREEN MANUFACTURI

86、idiary,USI,conducted a similar program of recycling plastics and in 2023,16.72%of their products were made using recycled plastics.Overall,our subsidiaries have achieved a waste recycling rate of more than 90%over the years.Driving Service Innovation through Digital and Sustainability Transformation
87、As a technology company,fostering innovation fuels our growth and enables us to provide strategic value to the industry.Over the years,we have accelerated our developments in smart automation and building smart factories.We deploy smart manufacturing and AI to optimize production scheduling and proc
88、ess parameters,and perform preemptive machine maintenance and troubleshooting that drive cost minimization and yield maximization.Today,we have established a total of 46 smart factories which is a strong testament of our commitment to sustainability through digital transformation.The cornerstones of
89、 ASEHs sustainability development involve conserving and reducing energy and water usage,and minimizing waste output.To optimize energy usage across our facilities,we adopted the use of AI in smart energy management to conduct comprehensive data collection and automatic monitoring based on optimal p
90、arameters.Our water resources are managed through the use of fluorescence detection techniques which monitors the quality of post-process discharged water.We employ AI algorithms to optimize water production processes,avoid unnecessary waste of water resources,and increase the quantity of recycled w
91、ater.We transform waste into resources using a circular economy model through multi-party collaboration.To effectively mitigate the environmental impact of waste materials,the management process for non-recyclable waste has been fully digitized,including AI-powered monitoring of waste disposal vehic
92、les to ensure proper disposal.Our employees are key to the success of ASEHs dual-axis transformation in smart manufacturing and sustainable development.We are focused on enhancing our employees technical skills to create value,and building smart and advanced factories to support our net zero commitm
93、ent and our corporate vision of living in harmony with the environment.In parallel,the induction of ASE Kaohsiungs wafer bumping factory into the World Economic Forum Global Lighthouse Network(WEF GLN)was a significant recognition of ASEHs achievements in sustainable manufacturing.Building a Diverse

249、Upstream2022-2023 ASEH Sustainable Values2022-2023 Greenhouse Gas Value Chain OutcomesEnvironmentalTaxEconomicSustainability Value and ImpactsASEH adopted the TIMM framework for sustainability valuation to quantify the sustainable value of the companys impacts in the economic,tax,environmental and s
250、ocial dimensions.In 2023,ASEH generated US$12,462 million worth of sustainable value for stakeholders.Economic and tax dimensions:In 2023,ASEH recorded a decline in packaging,testing,and EMS revenue due to the softening of the overall semiconductor industry and electronics market performance.This ha
251、s in turn reduced our profits and the amount of employee bonus payouts.As a result,the overall economic value generated dropped by 13%from the previous year.Notwithstanding the decline in economic value,we expanded our investment in R&D and procurement of capital equipment during the course of the y
252、ear,to maintain the companys market leadership.These activities generated a 5.3%increase in the value of our economic investments and a 4.3%increase in the value of our intangible assets,demonstrating our determination to improve our performance and product quality despite challenging circumstances.
253、Tax expenditures in 2023 increased by 4.8%over the previous year due to earnings growth in 2022 and tax payments on the disposal of a subsidiary in Korea.Environmental dimension:Two main sources of environmental impacts were water resource consumption during the production process and greenhouse gas
254、ses emitted from the use of electricity.Our renewable energy usage reached 20%of the total electricity consumption in 2023.On the other hand,we adopted the three major strategies of reduction,reuse,and recycling in the consumption of water resources.Investments were made in every plant to improve wa
255、ter recycling,thereby reducing environmental impacts caused by water consumption and increasing economic benefits.Since two manufacturing sites were included in the scope of calculation this year,negative effects of water consumption and wastewater pollution slightly increased by 1%compared to 2022,
256、and the negative environmental impact of our operations increased by 2%compared to 2022.In the future,we will actively invest in environmental protection and fulfill our pledge to use the proceeds raised through our green bonds to construct commercial used green facilities and establish water recycl
257、ing plants,water treatment plants,and a real-time waste water monitoring system that would mitigate environmental impacts and promote human health.In the meanwhile,we continued to invest in ecological conservation,and therefore the positive impact of ecological conservation in 2023 increased signifi
258、cantly by 48%compared to last year.Social dimension:The overall 2023 value of our social impact fell by 24.7%compared with 2022.This was largely caused by a lacklustre economic environment that resulted in a 26%decrease in ASEHs annual local procurement amount.Despite a challenging year,the company
259、continued to increase its investments in social support for the community.Excluding the value of corporate volunteer contributions,investments in social cohesion activities increased by 21.87%in 2023 over the previous year.Our active contribution to social welfare programs help to improve the well-b
260、eing of the public and the community,as well as protect environmental resources.In addition,we had increased our investments in environmental education and job training by 53%.1 Greenhouse gas emissions from investments in the downstream value chain have been included in calculations since 202232OPE

262、d to resource consumption and environmental emissions from its business activities.We have paid close attention to the energy and resource efficiency of our facilities and put in place environmental programs to generate positive impacts and mitigate the external cost on the environment.Although two
263、manufacturing sites were included in the scope of calculation this year,the overall impact(negative and positive)has decreased by 3%compared to US$-350 million in 2022.This reduction is mainly due to the annual operational impact of the industry and our continued efforts in implementing environmenta
264、l mitigation measures,which have mitigated the negative impact.We recorded significant reductions in negative impacts from other air emissions and water use,further demonstrating our resolution and relative success in renewable energy usage,facilitating air pollution control,increasing water resourc
265、e efficiency,and circular solutions in resource reduction.In 2023,we applied the SROI framework to quantify the impacts of our business operations and value chain activities on the environment based on SDG14 Life below Water and SDG15 Life on Land.ASEH remains committed to our low carbon mission and

273、jor SDGs affected by negative external impacts are SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation,SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy,SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production,SDG 13 Climate Action,SDG 14 Life below Water,and SDG 15 Life on Land.The overall positive environmental impact totaled US$162 million,w
274、hich is 12%higher than that of 2022.The net positive benefits related to water resources have increased by 27%,due to the increased amount of recycled process water and the significantly decreased number of pollutants in the wastewater.The value of negative environmental impact amounts to US$502 mil
275、lion,a 2%increase compared to 2022.The main reasons,in addition to inflation,are the addition of two manufacturing sites within the scope,which led to an increase in the pollutant content of water pollution.Through a green manufacturing process,we strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,waste,and
276、water pollution.These measures resulted in positive contributions to the SDG 6,SDG 12,and SDG 13.ASEH has actively launched biodiversity-related activities this year.Biodiversity conservation is a key focus at ASEH,and the company is taking long-term actions to protect marine habitats and species,an
277、d the terrestrial ecosystem through various conservation programs including conservation and restoration of Chinese box turtle,adoption of parks,and tree planting and afforestation projects The company has planted more than 303 thousand trees,creating a positive ecological impact value of US$6.4 mil
278、lion.The monetized value of the indirect environmental impact of value chain greenhouse gas emissions amounted to US$-2,352 million,a 23%decrease compared to 2022.The main reason for the reduction is that we used the strategies of purchasing low-carbon raw materials and equipment,building low-carbon
