AU Optronics Corp. has announced that its 2007 corporate social responsibility report is to be Taiwan's first ever CSR report to receive G3 Global Reporting Initiative A+ verification.
It is also the first G3 GRI A+ in the global thin film transistor liquid crystal display industry — demonstrating how AUO discloses its economic, environmental and social performance under the global reporting framework.
The AUO 2007 CSR report follows the standard 2006 Global Reporting Initiative's Sustainability Reporting Guidelines — GRI G3 — and has been verified as the highest, Level A+, by Societe Generale Surveillance, the Accountability 1000 Assurance Standards body, demonstrating the relevance, completeness, and responsiveness of this report. AUO has integrated CSR in all aspects of its strategic planning, including company policies, business models, execution procedures, and employee training systems. This report provides transparent, complete and balanced data to its global investors, customers, communities, employees, and all other stakeholders.
In 2004, AUO initiated its first environmental report, followed by an environmental, safety and health report in 2005, and published its first CSR report in 2006.
"Just as a financial report transparently discloses a corporation's financial status, CSR information is also obligated to be open to the public in a balanced way," said L.J. Chen, president and COO of AUO. "AUO will continuously execute our 'Green Solutions' as a core of our CSR, to benefit the society we live in."
