Walsin Lihwa supports the goals of the "Paris Agreement", clearly setting net-zero targets and a carbon reduction pathway, and expects the Company and its supplier partners to jointly implement and promote energy conservation and carbon reduction. In addition to promoting net-zero actions internally, the Company has also established a management system for participation in climate-change-related lobbying activities and industry associations. Each unit's supervisor first reviews the lobbying activity and industry association, and after assessment and approval by the Chief Sustainability Officer and the Sustainability Office, the Company may participate in the related activities and organizations. The Company regularly reviews and monitors whether the positions of the activities and industry associations it participates in are consistent with the "Paris Agreement"; if any deviation from the "Paris Agreement" occurs, it will actively negotiate and communicate, and if there is no improvement, it will withdraw from the activity and industry association.
Through a clear and systematic assessment and management mechanism, the Company ensures that its participation in climate-change-related public affairs is consistent with the Company's sustainability goals and climate change policy, and exchanges the latest net-zero emission trends and joins sustainability-related initiatives, hoping to become a driving force for Taiwan's progress toward net-zero emissions. In 2025, Walsin Lihwa participated in a total of 26 external associations, with total donations of NT$4,179,400. The industry associations are listed by total expenditure amount for each category in the table below. Among the 26 external associations, the positions of the climate-change-related industry associations are all consistent with the goals of the "Paris Agreement", and there was no direct lobbying activity this year.
