Corporate Governance in ESG

Performance Evaluation

To enhance the functions of the board of directors, the company has established a performance evaluation method "Board of Directors and Functional Committees Performance Evaluation Method." The board of directors and functional committees conduct an internal evaluation once a year and an external evaluation every three years. Based on the results, improvement suggestions are proposed to deepen the effectiveness of the board of directors.

Implementation of External Performance Evaluation Recommendations

The company appointed the "Taiwan Board of Directors Performance Association" to conduct the external evaluation of the board of directors for 2022. Experts reviewed the board's performance from seven aspects: composition structure, director selection and training, company operations participation, decision-making quality, internal control, sustainability environment, and value creation, and provided suggestions.

Recommendations


Establish a mechanism where whistleblowers can send letters simultaneously to the independent directors (or a representative) to ensure fair handling of whistleblower cases. It is also recommended that the internal audit supervisor's performance evaluation and salary suggestions be discussed by the compensation committee.

Measures


Regularly report stakeholder complaints to the board of directors to fully disclose related matters, allowing board members to understand and discuss them impartially.

Implementation


Reported stakeholder (employee suggestions or complaints) communication to the board of directors on August 7, 2023, and January 18, 2024.

 

Business Ethics

Operate with the highest ethical standards, integrating integrity and ethical values into the company's business strategy. This ensures that the DNA of integrity is deeply rooted within the organization, fulfilling the mission of being a high-quality enterprise in harmony with society.

Risk Management

In 2023, the company established the "Risk and Safety Management Policy and Procedure" and set up a Risk and Safety Management Committee. The committee members are appointed by the CEO and are responsible for consolidating risk and safety issues, reporting to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on risk and safety issues at least once a year.
