Sustainable Development Committee

Walsin Lihwa takes stakeholders' rights and interests seriously in its CSR fulfillment. While pursuing sustainability and profitability, the company also focuses on its impacts on the environment, society, and governance for ongoing improvement of sustainability. The company established its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee in April 2015. On November 1, 2019, the 18th board of directors approved the establishment and charter of a Sustainable Development Committee at its 17th meeting to have the CSR Committee and the Business Integrity Committee merged into the Sustainable Development Committee to complete the Company's sustainability framework. The Sustainable Development Committee is responsible for corporate sustainability strategy and vision development as well as CSR implementation and management.

The Chairman of the Board of Walsin Lihwa is the convener of the Sustainable Development Committee, and the Vice Chairman and all independent directors are members on the committee. There are five promotion centers under the committee, Business Integrity, Environment, Health and Safety (EHS), Green Operations Management, Customer Service and Supplier Management, and Employee Relations and Social Care. The committee shall convene at least twice annually to review the five centers' annual plans as well as their plan implementation results to report to the board of directors in the following year. The Sustainability Development Committee established the "Guidelines for the Compilation of Sustainability Reports" in 2022, which standardizes the procedures for report compilation and verification and incorporates them into the internal control system.
