Internally, USI has strengthened the promotion of ESG concepts and gradually improved related policies to enhance the company's sustainable value.
All along, USI has been practicing sustainable operations with high standards. In July 2022, the company adopted the GRI Standards and SASB Electronic Manufacturing Services & Original Design Manufacturing Standards in its sustainability report. In the Environmental (E) aspect, USI has formulated a net-zero carbon emission strategy, scientifically designed a carbon management action plan, and is planning to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

05/07/2024 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesHow fast do things move in the world of data analytics? Here’s an example. We’ve been planning this issue on artificial intelligence for the past few months, and, in fact, I had already written this column about a month ago. Then I went to IPC APEX EXPO and upended it all. I originally had compared AI to drag racing in that (CPU) horsepower and new (data) vehicles have steadily delivered higher performance competition.
