Recognizing environmental, social and governance, across Asia, Americas and Europe, the scale and impact of the Sustainability Awards continue to grow, attracting 1,504 entries from Foxconn teams in its third year - five times more than its inaugural edition. Nitrogen safety in Vietnam, zero-carbon cleaning in China and exoskeleton-assisted equipment in the Czech Republic were among projects celebrated, demonstrating deepening of ESG capabilities.
