Corporate Governance / Sustainable Supply Chain

．Embedding corporate integrity DNA based on fairness, honesty, trustworthiness, and transparency
．Building a company of ethics and integrity

	Ensuring Full and Effective Participation and Equal Leadership for Women Increasing the number of female board members to 3 seats.
	Establishing a Just and Inclusive Corporate Culture Wiwynn collaborates with suppliers to declare principles of integrity, utilizing education, anti-corruption advocacy, and internal and external whistleblowing systems to build a high-ethics culture. In 2023, there were no incidents of integrity violations or corruption.

Innovation with Green Technology

．Achieving Cross-generational Product Applications with Innovative Technology
．Practicing Sustainable Product Design through Integrated R&D Technology

	Enhancing Product Energy Efficiency Calculations show that two of our sold products provide carbon reduction benefits. Their operation for one year brings a power-saving benefit of 8,080,383 kWh to downstream customers, equivalent to reducing 3,992 tons of CO2 emissions.
	R&D Capabilities and Achievements We have 1,479 R&D personnel (20.38% of employees) with an investment of NTD 4 billion. Invention patents account for 91.17% of total patents, with global patent applications increasing by 37.5% compared to 2022.
	Source Design All developed products comply with WEEE-3R assessments, meeting 3R requirements (80% reuse and recycling rate, 85% recovery rate), and are marked with the WEEE recycling label. In 2023, through the use of recycled materials, phthalate-free design, and memory recycling, we achieved a CO2 reduction equivalent of 2,648 tons, approximately 4.4 times more than in 2022.

Eco-Friendly Operation

．Implementing Circular Economy for Sustainable Development
．Enhancing Climate Change Solutions
．Responding to Risks, Seizing Opportunities, and Building Operational Resilience

	Water Resource Reuse In 2023, we recycled 14.92 million liters of water, accounting for 9% of total water intake, primarily through the recovery of air conditioning condensate, rainwater, and handwashing water, and reused it for landscape irrigation.
	Adoption of Renewable Energy Following the completion of green power conversion at our Taipei headquarters in 2022, our Tainan plant also adopted green power in 2023. Our overseas operations increased green power usage through rooftop solar panels and combined renewable energy certificate purchases. In 2023, the global renewable energy usage rate was 57.07%.
	Circular Economy and Waste Reduction We reused wooden crates and pallets, reducing 3,004,500 kg of waste and generating an economic benefit of NTD 460 million. The waste output per unit revenue decreased by 24.74% compared to 2022.
	Carbon Reduction Goals Our carbon reduction goals have been approved by SBTi. To further actively practice carbon reduction, Wiwynn has independently set two long-term goals: 100% renewable energy usage by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2040.

Driven People with Shared Beliefs

．Equal Learning and Development Opportunities, Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
．Caring for Wiwynn Partners' Health and Ensuring Workplace Safety
．Embracing Marine and Ecological Co-prosperity

	Increasing Birth Rates Awarding NTD 60,000 per child, with an additional NTD 2,000 provided by the Welfare Committee, plus discounts on childcare and after-school care services for children aged 0-6 from external childcare institutions.
	Promoting Human Rights Training Since 2020, we have introduced RBA-related courses to educate employees about their rights and the company's policies and practices on labor, human rights, health and safety, environment, and ethical standards. All employees have completed the training, which is also a mandatory course for new hires, with ongoing refresher training for relevant personnel.
	Equality and Non-discrimination Recruitment and salary determination are conducted fairly and justly, in accordance with legal recruitment and employment procedures, and guided by the "Anti-Discrimination Management Procedure".
	Youth Development and Labor Protection Wiwynn promotes an internship program to help young people transition into the workforce and contribute to social development. In 2023, we upheld a strict no-child-labor policy with no instances of child labor.
	Ocean Hugs Through coastal reforestation and ecological restoration projects, Wiwynn has planted 24,800 trees in Taiwan, with a total of 46,800 trees including overseas green industrial zone projects. This demonstrates Wiwynn's commitment to biodiversity and forest protection, and collaborates with sustainable supply chain and value chain partners to support biodiversity conservation and forest protection based on stakeholder feedback.

Material Topics and Management

Wiwynn conducts an annual materiality analysis process, following the requirements of GRI 3: Material Topics 2021, covering impacts on the economy, environment, and people (including human rights). Through a three-phase identification and analysis process, Wiwynn identifies topics with significant impact on the economy, environment, and human rights, defining them as Wiwynn's material sustainability topics.

Phase Process

．Identified 6 key stakeholder categories and selected 21 sustainability topics.

The main purpose of this phase is to identify Wiwynn's primary stakeholders and select sustainability topics. In terms of stakeholder identification, according to GRI Standards and the stakeholder engagement standard AA1000 SES, we identified 6 key stakeholders, including: employees, customers, suppliers, government agencies, investors and financial institutions, and community/non-profit organizations. For sustainability topics, we focus on four major aspects of sustainable development: "Governance," "Innovation," "Environment," and "Social Inclusion." We incorporate both internal and external perspectives, including international sustainability regulations and standards, industry-specific issues, sustainability ratings, stakeholder communication, and internal business goals, redefining and consolidating 21 sustainability topics.

．Double Materiality Analysis: Distributed 110 questionnaires, including assessments of operational and sustainability impacts, to evaluate levels of concern.

In addition to conducting online surveys to gauge the level of concern from the 6 key stakeholder categories, we also introduced the EU-driven concept of Double Materiality. This assesses the importance of sustainability topics from two perspectives: "Operational Impact," which affects the company's growth and financial performance, and "Sustainability Impact," which affects the external economy, environment, and people. For "Operational Impact," we consider each topic's impact on Wiwynn's revenue, costs, customer satisfaction, employee cohesion, and social influence. For "Sustainability Impact," we assess each topic's positive and negative impacts on the economy, environment, and people (including human rights) within the company's operational activities to measure the significance of these impacts.

．Determined and Confirmed 11 Material Topics

Based on the analysis results from Phase 2, and through discussions with 5 senior executives and confirmation by the Board of Directors, we identified 11 material topics from the initial 21 sustainability topics.
We present these topics using a value chain approach, allowing stakeholders to understand the stages and impacts of different topics within the value chain, and using this as a basis to strengthen the company's sustainable governance.

Stakeholder Engagement

Wiwynn identifies six major categories of stakeholders through the five principles of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (SES): dependency, responsibility, influence, diverse perspectives, and tension. We consider the issues and objectives of stakeholder engagement to understand the concerns and needs of various stakeholders. Through various appropriate channels, we effectively communicate with stakeholders and report the communication status and material topics to the Board of Directors annually. The most recent report to the Board was on February 26, 2024.
