"TSMC's track record shows that sustainability, ethics, and integrity are fundamental to a company's long-term success, " said TSMC Chairman Morris Chang. "These qualities not only help us fullfill our responsibility to society, they build customer trust, strengthen employee commitment, and make society and the natural environment a better place. We are encouraged that the DJSI has once again selected TSMC as industry group leader from among our world-class peers, and this recognition strengthens our dedication to sustainability even further."
