ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (ASE Holdings, NYSE: ASX, TAIEX: 3711) hosted its annual Supplier Day, recognizing the contribution of its partners and presenting awards to outstanding suppliers of 2025. The event welcomed representatives from over 100 suppliers supporting ASE Holdings’ subsidiaries—ASE, SPIL, and USI—under the theme “Innovation of Synergy.”
ASE said the ceremony highlighted how technology innovation and knowledge sharing can strengthen the competitiveness of industry partners. The company also emphasized its commitment to building a more resilient, collaborative, and future-ready supply chain ecosystem.
“Driven by surging demand for AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC), the global semiconductor industry is projected to exceed US$1 trillion by 2026, reflecting strong structural growth,” said Dr. Tien Wu, Chief Operating Officer of ASE Holdings. He added that as system complexity increases, hardware has become a key factor enabling innovation at scale, with applications expected to extend beyond cloud data centers to the edge, including areas such as drones and robotics.
ASE said it has been proactively empowering suppliers to enhance capabilities and support long-term sustainable growth. Since 2022, the company has provided guidance and resources to advance a green, low-carbon supply chain, helping 37 suppliers establish greenhouse gas inventory systems in line with ISO 14064 and develop product carbon footprint capabilities aligned with ISO 14067, verified by independent third parties.
During the event, ASE presented certificates of appreciation to recognize these achievements and encourage more partners to embed carbon management into core business operations.
ASE said three suppliers were honored with the 2025 Supplier Sustainability Award for innovative collaboration initiatives. The projects align with ASE’s sustainability priorities, including low-carbon and circular goals, and will receive sponsorship from the ASE Environmental Sustainability Foundation.
“Through this supply chain collaboration program, we aim to guide and support more suppliers in taking proactive sustainability actions, thereby amplifying the industry’s positive impact and creating a shared path toward green growth,” said Dtuang Wang, CAO and CSO of ASE Holdings.
Eliza Li, Chairman of PwC Sustainability Services Company, delivered remarks noting that uncertainty has become the new normal, with structural changes driven by technological disruption, geopolitics, climate change, and regulatory and resource constraints. She said collaboration with partners on sustainability and innovation is key to improving resilience and capturing opportunities in both technology and sustainable development.
Andrew Tang, Chief Procurement Officer, ASE Holdings, said the semiconductor supply chain is entering a new phase characterized by increasing consolidation and rising technical standards led by industry leaders. He cited supply-demand volatility, extended lead times, and an accelerated pace of technology advancement, adding that capital, capacity, and resources are being reallocated across the supply chain to meet demand and rapid technology breakthroughs.
“While this environment presents significant opportunities for the semiconductor industry, it also introduces new risks and complexities. Looking ahead, ASE believes that supply chains with scale, agility, and deep ecosystem synergy will be best positioned to manage risk and capture growth,” Tang said.
