The challenge for all businesses is to be unique. Whether you’re a customer, an employee or a shareholder, the
only way any business will attract you is if it stands out from the crowd.
Being unique, however, isn’t a quality you can simply switch on and off.
At Acer, we have built our reputation on creating value in every aspect of the company throughout our history. We
create value for our:
• customers by offering a continuous stream of innovative and empowering solutions that anticipate and satisfy
their needs.
• investors by consistently providing positive returns year after year.
• employees, allowing us to realize our full potential and achieve our goals.
• business partners with win-win solutions with our vendors and our valuable channel partners.
Creating value through brand recognition is the way forward rather than competitive pricing. There’s no other way
to win tomorrow’s business than to believe in the power of our brands right now.
To be a successful global brand company, it is critical that employees have a consistent set of core values
as a solid basis. The defined core values will bring to the Company both short-term benefits and long-term
advantages.
The approaches that we must base our actions: Value-creating, Customer-centric, Ethical and Caring.
The way we must act: Innovative, Fast and Effective.
We encourage all employees to understand, practice and emphasize the core values in our respective roles.
