Amid the global momentum toward sustainable development, rapid transitions in the business environment, and challenges arising from climate change, geopolitical developments, and technological innovation, GIS firmly believes that a company’s value lies not only in delivering economic results but also in addressing environmental and social needs through responsible governance and creating long-term and sustainable value for all stakeholders. In 2025, GIS continued to uphold its commitment to sustainable operations by integrating ESG principles into business decision-making and day-to-day management, steadily advancing toward becoming a more resilient and responsible company.
In 2025, GIS earned recognition across several international initiatives and ESG assessments, receiving the highest score of A (Leadership level) from CDP for climate change, achieving Prime status in the ISS ESG Corporate Rating, and ranking in the top 8% of its industry in its first S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). GIS was also recognized at the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA) for the third consecutive year, receiving both the Taiwan Sustainable Foreign Enterprise Excellence Award and the Sustainability Report Electronics and Information Manufacturing Industry Category 1 Silver Award. For GIS, sustainable development is not merely a commitment, but a core focus of its long-term business strategy.
On the environmental front, GIS continues to advance carbon reduction and energy transition initiatives while implementing management measures aligned with its established targets. We are committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030 and achieving 100% renewable electricity use in the same year. Clear implementation pathways have been established for these goals, guided by science-based emissions reduction targets. GIS recognizes that the impacts of climate change are no longer solely an environmental issue but also a critical consideration for business operations and global supply chain competitiveness. Therefore, we will continue to invest resources in strengthening energy management and improving resource efficiency, while taking concrete action in response to the global transition toward net-zero emissions.
In technology development and operational strategy, GIS continues to strengthen its core technological capabilities and expand into new applications—including near-eye displays, automotive displays, and optical communications—to drive future growth. The Company also continues to enhance its advanced manufacturing processes and smart manufacturing capabilities. In response to the industry transformation driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, the Company is actively integrating machine learning and generative AI into product development, quality improvement, process optimization, and the enhancement of internal services. Through technological innovation, we aim to further enhance operational efficiency, productivity, and resource efficiency, laying a stronger foundation for the Company’s long-term growth.
On the governance front, GIS advances its sustainability strategies under the oversight of the Board of Directors, while the Sustainable Development Committee regularly reviews short-, medium-, and long-term sustainability goals and their implementation. The Company continues to strengthen risk management, internal controls, and sustainability governance mechanisms, further embedding sustainability principles into its corporate governance framework and operational decision-making. These governance efforts have also earned external recognition. According to the results of the Financial Supervisory Commission’s 2025 Corporate Governance Evaluation, GIS ranked among the top 5% of listed companies in Taiwan. We have also incorporated senior management’s sustainability performance into annual performance evaluations to strengthen the management team’s commitment to and execution of ESG strategies. We continue to improve across key areas, including corporate governance, environmental sustainability, supply chain management, employee well-being, social engagement, and risk management.
Looking ahead, we will continue to advance sustainability through technology and achieve shared prosperity through innovation. Together with our customers, supply chain partners, and stakeholders across all sectors, we aim to build a more resilient, competitive, and sustainable future. We extend our sincere gratitude to all employees, customers, partners, and stakeholders for their trust and support. Moving forward, GIS will continue to fulfill its sustainability commitments through a pragmatic and steady approach, creating shared value for all stakeholders.
