As of the end of 2025, GIS was granted 136 new patents, bringing the cumulative total to 2,168 patents by the end of the year. GIS will continue to increase the number of patents and set improving patent quality as a mid- to long-term goal.
GIS Green Product Design
GIS refers to the green product design and development guidelines issued by the Group and introduces the concept of product life cycle. It minimizes environmental damage from material selection, production, distribution and other GIS-related stages and uses various resources effectively. GIS is used as an example as follows:
1. Non-toxic material selection:
(1) Desulfurization risk monitoring has been introduced in October 2020 and is continuously monitored every year.
(2) Starting in 2025, some PFAS-Free environmental materials have been introduced, accounting for approximately 2.7%-8.4%.
2. Energy saving in production:
(1) The volume of HUD is effectively reduced to reduce material usage.
(2) GIS has incorporated innovative technology into the design of its smart automotive HUD system, integrating intelligent adjustment functions and miniaturized optical components to reduce power consumption and improve optical efficiency.
(3) In 2025, GIS enhanced LED luminous efficiency by 20% for HUDs, reducing energy consumption by 24%
3. Material reduction in distribution:
(1) The packaging material sharing plan (upstream and downstream shared tray) is implemented to avoid unnecessary waste.
(2) Through the packaging material recycling mechanism and the mixing of new materials for shipment, the use of packaging materials is reduced year by year.
(3) Supply chain tray reuse: By 2025, a reduction of 1,969 kg has been achieved, with a cumulative reduction of 5,293 kg since 2023.
(4) For HUD material-efficient design, the Company also plans to effectively reduce its volume without compromising specifications and performance, achieving a 12% reduction in material usage by 2025 and completing pilot production.
Sustainable Products and Materials Policy
Purpose
In alignment with the vision of a sustainable circular economy and with the aim of reducing the consumption of energy and resources associated with raw materials, as well as environmental risks, GIS (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) follows the principles set forth below in the selection of raw materials for product design and development and in the management of the supply chain for related raw materials.
Scope
This Policy applies to the direct operational activities, products, and services of all organizations within the Company, and extends to stakeholders across the value chain, including employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, and joint ventures.
Commitments and Principles
Prioritize the use of raw materials with lower environmental footprints and impacts, such as materials with lower water footprints, lower energy consumption, and lower resource use, or materials containing fewer substances of concern and hazardous substances.
Strive to minimize the negative environmental impacts associated with raw materials, including avoiding the use of raw materials sourced from globally or nationally important biodiversity areas.
Establish verification mechanisms and prioritize the use of raw materials verified by third parties or recycled materials.
In line with the principles of sustainability, increase the use of recycled raw materials while striving to ensure product safety and compliance with customer requirements, industry standards, applicable regulations, and environmental or green labeling requirements, thereby enhancing product competitiveness.
Actively collaborate with stakeholders, including but not limited to customers and suppliers, to implement actions promoting sustainable materials and environmentally friendly products.
AI Trends and Responses
Looking at the current next-generation forward-looking technologies and artificial intelligence application fields, based on the display mode settings required for wearable devices, the terminal market demand tends to augmented reality glasses devices, and the application of real-time integration of virtual and real image information is a high-potential AI commercial product. GIS has been collaborating with National Central University since 2023. This project focuses on the development of VHOE display technology and is committed to cultivating global forward-looking display talents. It will continue in 2025. While GIS emphasizes sustainable development, it continues to develop innovative designs in order to seize the opportunity in the ever-evolving dynamic market and strengthen corporate resilience.
