Participation in External Organizations

Walsin Lihwa supports the goals of the "Paris Agreement", has clearly set out the net-zero goals and carbon reduction pathways, and anticipates that the company and its supplier partners will jointly promote energy conservation and carbon reduction. In addition to promoting net-zero actions within the company, we have also established a set of management systems for participation in lobbying activities and industry associations related to climate change, whereby the supervisors of each unit first examine the lobbying activities and industry associations, and then participate in the relevant activities and organizations after being evaluated and approved by the Chief Sustainability Officer and the Sustainable Development Department, and regularly examine and monitor whether the positions of the activities and industry associations in which they participate are in line with the "Paris Agreement", and will actively consult and communicate with them if any deviation from the "Paris Agreement" occurs. If any deviation from the Paris Agreement does occur, the Company will actively negotiate and communicate with the relevant organizations, and if no improvement is made, the Company will withdraw from the activity and the 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 policies, and communicates the latest net-zero emission trends and joins sustainability-related initiatives. We look forward to helping Taiwan move toward net-zero emissions.

In 2023, Walsin Lihwa participated in a total of 26 external associations, with a total donation amount of NT$4,546,640^Note, and lists the industry associations with the top three total expenditures in each category in the table below. Of the 26 external associations, the climate change-related industry associations take positions that are consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement and have not engaged in direct lobbying activities this year.
