As one of the world’s leading PC brands, Acer
is committed to sustainable business operations;
fulfilling our corporate social responsibilities
is the key to achieving this goal. Our policy
to be a socially responsible corporation is
built around three principles: stable business
operations, financial transparency, and
care for the environment – while seeking
winning partnerships for the company and
its stakeholders. In addition to looking after
customers, employees and shareholders, ensuring
the rights and welfare of the general public is
our foremost concern.
The OECD (Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development) Guidelines on
Multinational Enterprises state that enterprises
should ensure timely and accurate disclosure of
their activities, structure, nancial situation and
performance. Enterprises are also encouraged to
apply high quality standards for non-financial
information including environmental, social and
shareholder reporting where they exist. Acer
shares the same ideas and practices beginning
with the transparency of nancial disclosure.
Under proper guidance and administration,
uniformed accounting standards throughout its
global operations and order transparency of the
supply chain lay a solid foundation of mutual
6trust between Acer and its suppliers, which
not only upgrades the level of technology but
enhances the overall corporate competitiveness.
Regarding the disclosure of non-financial
information, Acer established environmental
communication channels in 2005, which include
an email (eco@acer.com.tw), environmental
homepage, and corporate environmental
reports. These channels enable the company
to disclose information on its environmental
management and performance such as efforts
to comply with international environmental
regulations, management of green supply chain,
products that meet eco-design requirements,
and green office practices. Furthermore, Acer
actively communicates with international
environmentalist organizations such as
Greenpeace and Silicon Valley Toxic Coalition
(SVTC) to better sensitize itself with related
issues as well as expectations of other sectors.
Acer maintains the spirit of “Innovative Caring.”
The Company is dedicated to enhancing
corporate performance, ensuring benefits for
employees and shareholders, and providing
consumers with state-of-the-art technology.
Moreover, it pays attention to important issues
such as the environment, human rights, supplier
management, community communications,
and philanthropy. 2005 was Acer’s year of
environmental management, and also the
inaugural year of sustainability to facilitate a
comprehensive support mechanism that will help
reach the goal of sustainable management.
