To address climate change and the uncertainties in the market and policies, we regularly convene top executives to identify significant climate risks and opportunities. We assess the impact of floods, droughts, typhoons, and high temperatures on various operational sites. This helps us understand changes in the external environment and market dynamics, and improve our overall business strategy. According to the plan, we will establish the “Sustainable Development Committee” under the board of directors in the second half of 2024. This committee will form multiple functional groups responsible for risk identification, measurement, and control, managing according to the framework of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This structure ensures that climate change issues are effectively integrated into the company’s operations, with specialists reporting group-level risk management to the “Sustainability Committee” and the board of directors. |

The major climate risks faced by our company primarily stem from the regulations of various countries, as well as the demands from customers and investors for greenhouse gas reduction and standards for energy-saving and carbon-reducing products. *Short-term risks and opportunities: The costs of carbon auditing and voluntary carbon reduction will increase. However, if carbon disclosure is thorough and proactively managed, it can enhance customer trust. *Mid-term risks and opportunities: Legal compliance requirements for carbon disclosure, as well as costs for calculating product carbon footprints, will increase. However, developing low-carbon products can enhance product competitiveness. *Long-term risks and opportunities: The costs associated with carbon emissions, such as carbon taxes, will increase alongside the need for adjustments in the low-carbon supply chain, low-carbon research and development, production, and distribution logistics. However, if executed more efficiently, it can boost the company’s competitiveness. |
