LITEON Technology announced that it recorded an ESG score of 91 in the S&P Global 2025 Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), representing its best performance to date since joining the Dow Jones Best‑in‑Class Indices (DJBIC, formerly DJSI) framework in 2010 and marking its 15th consecutive year of inclusion.
The results reflect LITEON’s long‑term integration of sustainability into its business operations and corporate governance framework. Through cross‑functional coordination and institutionalized management mechanisms, the company continues to enhance the depth, consistency and overall effectiveness of its sustainability practices.
Based on its comprehensive sustainability performance, LITEON was included in both the DJBIC World Index and the DJBIC Emerging Markets Index and was ranked among the top 1% of companies worldwide in the Computer & Office Electronics industry (THQ) in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026, underscoring its international competitiveness in sustainable governance.
Beyond its own operations, LITEON continues to extend its sustainability efforts across its value chain. The company was also rated A in the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) and included in the 2025 CDP SEA A List.
The SEA evaluates corporate performance across key dimensions including governance, climate targets, Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions and value‑chain engagement, highlighting LITEON’s establishment of a systematic sustainability management framework spanning its entire value chain, with increasing depth and impact.
“Being easy to work with and willing to share is central to LITEON’s approach to sustainability, and collaboration is how we put sustainability into practice,” said Tom Soong, Chairman and Chief Sustainability Officer of LITEON Technology. He noted that as global supply chains become increasingly interconnected and sustainability challenges grow more complex, individual corporate actions alone are insufficient to address long‑term issues such as climate change, decarbonization and responsible production. Meaningful progress requires collaboration across functions, industries and the entire value chain. Grounded in technological innovation and green design, LITEON works closely with supply chain partners, customers and stakeholders to build a resilient sustainability ecosystem, advancing sustainability from individual corporate initiatives into scalable and replicable industry practices, while continuing to respond to global stakeholder expectations.
In the S&P Global 2025 assessment, LITEON demonstrated systematic strengths across social, environmental and governance dimensions. In the social dimension, LITEON received full scores in indicators including labor practices, human rights management, and occupational health and safety, reflecting its long‑term commitment to people‑centric management and workplace safety systems. From a governance perspective, LITEON also received full scores in materiality analysis as well as risk and crisis management, indicating that sustainability considerations are fully embedded in its governance structure and decision‑making processes.
In the highly investor‑focused climate strategy category, LITEON was ranked the highest in its industry, receiving full scores across core indicators including greenhouse gas emissions management, decarbonization target setting, climate governance, climate risk management, internal carbon pricing, and net‑zero commitments, demonstrating comprehensive capabilities in its low‑carbon transition.
