  • Item

    Report Disclosure Section

    1. Describe the Supervision and Governance of Climate-Related Risks and  Opportunities by the Board of Directors and Management
    1. Climate risk and opportunity governance, together with annual  sustainability Risk Management issues, are reported annually by the  President to the Board of Directors, which supervises implementation  effectiveness.
    2. The Chairman serves as the Chairperson for climate risk and  opportunity governance, the President serves as the Vice Chairperson,  and heads of each fi rst-level unit are responsible for risk identifi cation,  assessment, and treatment.

    2. Describe How Identified Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities  Aff ect the Company's Business, Strategy, and Finance (Short-Term,  Medium-Term, Long-Term)
    1. Short-term: Impacts on the Company include「enhanced greenhouse  gas Emission Volume reporting obligations」,「rising average  temperatures」, and「the use of more effi cient production and  distribution processes」.  
    2. Short- and medium-term: Impacts on the Company include「the costs  of transition to low-carbon technologies」.
    3. Short-, medium-, and long-term: Impacts on the Company include「the  costs of transition to low-carbon technologies」and「the use of lowcarbon energy」.The greenhouse gas  inventory scope covers  Nangang Headquarters,  Sanchong Factory,  Xinzhuang Factory,  Pingzhen Factory, and  Hsinchu Offi ce.
    3. Describe the Financial Impact of Extreme Climate Events and Transition  Actions
    1. Enhanced greenhouse gas Emission Volume reporting obligations  - Countries are gradually requiring companies to disclose Scope  1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 Emission Volume and undergo third-party  verifi cation. This will result in consulting fees, verifi cation fees, and  greenhouse gas inventory software costs.
    2. Costs of transition to low-carbon technologies - To meet net-zero  and low-carbon product requirements, the industry needs to invest  in high-effi ciency power modules, low-power-consumption chips,  recycled materials, green electricity, and process improvements. In  the short term, this may increase R&D expenses, equipment upgrade  costs, and material costs, leading to a decline in gross profi t margins.
    3. Rising raw material costs - Declining gross profi t margins, reduced net  profi ts, increased cash fl ow turnover pressure, and greater challenges  in inventory management.
    4. Rising average temperatures - Offi ces, server rooms, cloud data  centers, server testing areas, and assembly plants all have a  high dependence on air conditioning and stable power supply.  Continued increases in average temperatures will lead to higher  electricity consumption for air conditioning, cooling systems, and  dehumidifi cation equipment, thereby increasing electricity expenses.  According to industry cases, if Taiwan's average temperature rises by  1.5‒2° C, electricity consumption in server rooms and plant areas may  increase by approximately 3%‒8%.

    4. Describe How Climate Risk Identifi cation, Assessment, and  Management Processes Are Integrated into the Overall Risk  Management System
    1. ESG Project Task Force members complete the collection of climate  and environmental background data, climate risk assessment, and  operational scope assessment.
    2. Establish a list of climate risks and opportunities, and develop an  internal operational impact survey questionnaire.

    3. Senior management completes the questionnaire to analyze climate  risks, opportunities, and operational impacts, and determine material  risk items.
    4. Establish implementation strategies and targets setting.
    5. Conduct rolling annual reviews of the eff ectiveness of implementation  strategies and targets through Sustainable Development Committee  meetings.

    5. If Scenario Analysis Is Used to Assess Resilience to Climate Change  Risks, Describe the Scenarios, Parameters, Assumptions, Analytical  Factors, and Major Financial Impacts Used
    The Company referenced the 2° C Scenario (2DS) for discussion during  Sustainable Development Committee meetings, while also using tools  provided by TCCIP (Taiwan Climate Change Projection Information and  Adaptation Knowledge Platform Project) as reference for evaluating  climate change physical risk scenarios. Ultimately, the Company  adopted the 2DS / RCP2.6 scenario as its climate change physical  risk scenario. Under this scenario, thematic descriptions of climate  change risks and opportunities, including physical risks and regulatory  transition risks, were provided.
    6. If There Is a Transition Plan for Managing Climate-Related Risks,  Describe the Plan Content, and the Metrics and Targets Used to  Identify and Manage Physical and Transition Risks

(Due to changes in the geographical  boundary scope of the inventory in 2024, including the expansion of  the 15th-fl oor offi ce in Building F of the Headquarters, 2024 will be  revised as the base year.)

    7. If Internal Carbon Pricing Is Used as a Planning Tool, Describe the Basis  for Price Determination
    The Company has not yet adopted internal carbon pricing as a planning  tool.
    8. If Climate-Related Targets Are Set, Describe the Covered Activities, GHG  Emission Scopes, Planning Timeline, and Annual Progress; If Carbon  Off sets or Renewable Energy Certifi cates (RECs) Are Used, Describe  the Source and Quantity of Off sets or RECs Used

    Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals, Strategies, and Specific Action Plans

    1. Buy back ownership of solar panels and complete a 609 kWp self-consumption system by 2025. The total solar power generation that year  will be 442,888 kWh, with a carbon reduction benefi t of 209.9289 tCO2e, generating 438 T-REC certifi cates. 

    2. Before 2030, using 2024 as the base year, reduce Carbon Emissions intensity by 4% annually. 

    3. Greenhouse gas inventory verifi cation will be conducted in 2028. 

    4. The Company plans to introduce the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) in 2026, and gradually enhance Scope 3 carbon inventory . 


  • Short-Term Goals
    1. Conduct an annual ESG Code of Conduct questionnaire survey for new suppliers and guide suppliers  to improve defi cient items.
    2. Conduct a biennial ESG Code of Conduct questionnaire survey for key suppliers and guide suppliers to  improve defi cient items.

    Medium/Long-TermStarting from 2027, suppliers that fail the ESG Code of Conduct questionnaire survey will be listed as  disqualifi ed suppliers on January 1, 2028. If improvements are made and passed through an on-site  audit by the Sustainable Supply Chain Evaluation Team, supplier qualifi cation will be restored.
    Resources Invested and Specific Results  for the Year
    In accordance with the implementation procedures for the Sustainable Supply Chain Code of Conduct  self-assessment questionnaire survey, from May 14 to September 10, 2025, the IBASE Sustainability  Evaluation Team conducted on-site audits and guidance for 13 suppliers with non-compliant scores  identifi ed from the questionnaire survey covering a total of 86 suppliers in 2024. Through communicating and explaining the methods and necessity of improvement to supplier part-ners, their willingness  to improve and trust were increased, and actual improve-ments were carried out. The interaction  results were good, and all 13 supplier partners passed the on-site audit qualifi cation.
  • ICs, CPUs, and memory are key materials

    The procurement department reports issues such as material shortages,  price increases or decreases, and delivery delays based on market changes, and proposes response measures at Strategy  Committee meetings. If an item is in short supply, alternative components will be sourced, and the R&D department will  submit the components to customers for approval as quickly as possible to proceed with assembly and shipment. If there  is news of raw material price increases or decreases, customers will be requested to provide shipment forecasts so orders  can be placed in advance. If a supplier temporarily notifi es a delivery delay, to avoid shipment delays, the company will  respond by switching orders to alternative components.
