We recognize the potential impact of climate change threats on our operations and value chain and incorporate them into our risk management considerations, identifying both internal and external influences.
To effectively manage climate change risks, we adopt the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework to disclose climate risks and opportunities, and establish corresponding governance, strategies, risk management, metrics, and targets.
These climate-related risks and opportunities may have financial impacts on our revenue, costs, asset values, and more. For further details, please refer to our latest TCFD report.

Climate Change Management Framework
  • TCFD Committee Working Team:
Our governance process includes oversight by the Board of Directors on climate-related risks and opportunities, as well as management's responsibility for assessing and managing the impacts of climate issues. In terms of strategy, we regularly review the climate risks and opportunities of our operational activities, products, and services. The risk management department is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing climate-related risks.
 
  • Management Structure:
Identifying Risks & Opportunities
  • Step 1 - Climate Issue Collection
    To comprehensively grasp the potential financial impacts of climate change, we regularly collect international climate-related research reports, domestic and international regulatory trends, and significant climate events. We continuously update climate issues highly relevant to our operations and accordingly identify climate risks and opportunities.
    Our risk assessment scope covers transition risks (including policy and regulatory, technological, market, and reputational risks), physical risks (immediate risks and long-term risks), as well as climate opportunities (including resource efficiency, energy sources, products and services, markets, and resilience). A total of 34 climate-related issues have been identified for evaluation and analysis.
  • Step 2--Risk and Operational Impact Analysis
    We adopt a systematic assessment approach, incorporating Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) targets and Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios—specifically SSP1-2.6 (low emissions) and SSP5-8.5 (high emissions)—to analyze the potential impacts of climate change on corporate operations and financial performance across different time horizons (short-term: within 5 years; medium-term: 5–15 years; long-term: beyond 15 years). Based on this analysis, we develop management strategies and tracking mechanisms.
  • Step 3--Identification of Major Risks/Opportunities
    We identify climate-related risks and opportunities that will have a significant impact on the company in the short, medium, and long term. A risk or opportunity is defined as a material issue if its potential financial impact exceeds the materiality threshold (NT$16 million).
    We have identified three significant transition risks in the short term, as well as one derived climate opportunity.
  • Step 4--Development of Response Strategies
    For the identified significant climate risks and opportunities, we develop corresponding action plans and continuously monitor the progress of their implementation.
