Company Structure & Responsibilities

Manager's Preface

Since its establishment in 1979, ATEN is about to enter its 40th year. While striving to shape the industry and achieve good economic performance, we have not forgotten to practice the concepts of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. In the past few years, the Board of Directors has passed CSR-related policies including "Corporate Social Responsibility Best Practice Principles", "Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct", and "Corporate Social Responsibility Policy Statement, Regulation and Management System", which repeatedly shows the inseparable relationship between CSR and corporate management while demonstrating the management team's determination towards the execution of CSR in a systematic process.

Global competition is ever-growing, and ATEN is also facing many challenges in KVM and Pro A/V markets. Regardless, with the continuous efforts of all our colleagues, the consolidated revenue in 2017 grew slightly from the previous year, reaching NTD 4.947 billion in total. The gross profit maintained at its high standard of 59.1% and the after-tax earnings per share was NTD 6.08. We did not disappoint our shareholders with regards to financial performance. With respect to the rights and interests of other stakeholders, we have paid close attention and continued to in actions for establishing mutually beneficial and prosperous relationships. For example, ATEN has repeatedly been listed on the "Taiwan High Compensation 100 Index" proposed by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TWSE) with the purpose of encouraging companies to raise salaries and maintain long-term competitiveness. ATEN raises salaries annually and aside from encouraging employee morale, it demonstrates the importance we place on our stakeholders' interests as well, considering both CSR and investment efficiency.

United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified 169 target indicators from problems faced by the three major aspects of "economic growth", "social progress", and "environment protection" that urgently need to be solved, to serve as guiding principles for national cooperation and practice. After reviewing our internal sustainable development, business capabilities, stakeholders' degree of concern towards CSR issues, and other factors, ATEN decided to focus response on these 10 goals: Zero Hunger; Good Health and Well-being; Quality Education; Gender Equality; Decent Work and Economic Growth; Climate Action; Life below Water; Life on Land; Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions; Partnerships for the Goals. We have made environmental and corporate sustainability possible through the continuous promotion of a mutually beneficial and prosperous relationship between the company and its stakeholders. This allows us to have more foresight while responding to UN's 17 SDGs, making mankind's well-being our responsibility and jointly establishing a global village of equality, happiness and harmony.
