Introduction to the Sustainability Development Committee
GIS established the Sustainable Development Committee in 2017, integrating the concept of sustainable development into the Company's various operational mechanisms through the promotion of ESG working groups. On August 5, 2022, the Board of Directors resolved to elevate its status to a functional committee directly under the Board.
The committee comprises four directors (including the Chairman and three independent directors), with Chairman Hsien-Ying Chou serving as the chairperson and Chief Human Resources Officer Cheng Tao Tsai authorized to serve as the Chief Sustainability Officer(CSO). Currently, the Sustainable Development Committee is divided into six working groups: Governance Operations, Environmental Sustainability, Supply Chain Sustainability, Employee Care, Social Engagement, and Risk Management.
Each working group is led by the head of the respective functional unit and is responsible for advancing sustainability initiatives and overseeing issues within its area of responsibility. The Company fulfills its corporate social responsibility through four principal dimensions: implementing corporate governance, developing a sustainable environment, safeguarding social welfare, and enhancing information transparency.
Linking Executive Compensation to ESG Performance
The Company has established a policy linking senior management's remuneration with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) performance, and has incorporated sustainability performance into the annual performance evaluations and variable compensation design for senior management. To align with the Company's sustainable development vision, the policy was reviewed and passed by the Remuneration Committee in 2024, and then submitted to the Board of Directors for resolution and implementation. According to the policy, starting from 2024, the sustainability performance indicators for the President and Vice President will be included in their annual performance evaluations. These indicators will be reviewed regularly each year, covering short-, medium-, and long-term sustainability goals, and additional target items may be set as necessary based on actual operational and sustainability needs. In 2025, the ESG-related performance indicator for the President and Vice Presidents accounts for 10% of the total variable compensation, to enhance senior management's responsibility and commitment to achieving ESG strategy promotion and sustainability development goals.
Goal Planning and Annual Execution Status
The company's Sustainability Development Committee held 2 meetings in 2025. The results of these meetings were reported to the Board of Directors on November 7, 2025, and were duly acknowledged by the Board. Additionally, the Board resolved to increase the frequency of director involvement in the company's sustainability operations (such as investments related to clean opportunities), ensuring that the company’s operational strategies and sustainability development can progress in parallel.
