“It is our great privilege and honor to be named the Top 100 Green Companies in China, especially on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day,” said Dr. L.J. Chen, President and CEO of AUO. “As a global leader of TFT-LCD, AUO has always been dedicated to the practice of Green Solutions and the development of a low-carbon economy. What is more, in the beginning of this year, the Company made a declaration of carbon footprint reduction, aiming at a 30% reduction from the carbon footprint level in 2009 by 2012,” he added.

AUO has been a keen advocator of corporate green practices for a sustainable society, and in the meantime a company that ensures maximum benefits for its clients and consumers. To reduce negative environmental impact, AUO developed a 32" LCD TV certified by SGS as the first LCD TV set worldwide to have gained Carbon Footprint Verification. The acknowledgement was a milestone to the carbon footprint management for the consumer electronics products. The successful case also contributed to incorporating the Taiwanese experience of the supply chain carbon management into the formulation of international standards. In addition to enhancing green strengths in R&D, AUO has also established a knowledge platform intended for the exchange of green know-how's and experiences among the supply chain peers. It is hoped that the collective efforts will bring about even better green performances for AUO and its partners.
