Vision for Sustainable Development
Sustainable Development Committee Structure
In order to implement sustainability initiatives and promote progress in corporate governance, the economy, the environment, and society, Wafer Works Corporation has established a Sustainability Development Committee in accordance with the "Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies" issued by the Taipei Exchange. This committee serves as the primary responsible unit for promoting sustainability efforts within the Company, aiming to drive sustainable development and practice across governance, economic, environmental, and social dimensions.
The Sustainable Development Committee is chaired by the Chairman of the Board, with the President serving as the Managing Representative. Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice Presidents, and plant managers and above serve as committee members. The Corporate Services Department acts as the Executive Secretary, responsible for coordinating related tasks. The committee convenes regularly, with two meetings held in 2024, to collectively review the core operational capabilities of the Company and establish short, medium, and long-term sustainable development goals.
To actualize corporate governance, foster sustainable environmental development, and uphold social justice, Wafer Works' Sustainable Development Committee engages in discussions concerning corporate governance, the economy, the environment, and society issues relevant to operational activities, internal and external advocacy messages. It sets sustainable development management plan goals in accordance with legal requirements, stakeholder expectations, etc., and initiates responsibility assignment and action plans. Through annual committee meetings, it examines the performance of sustainable development management plan goals in areas such as corporate governance, the environment, and society (including people and human rights). The managing representative regularly reports sustainable development strategies, management plan goals, and executive performance to the Board of Directors and discloses them in the sustainability report.
The Managing Representative of Wafer Works' Sustainable Development Committee is held by the President, responsible for driving sustainable policies and supervising overall sustainable development affairs. Annually, they report sustainable planning and performance to the Board of Directors, regularly reviewing external trends and emerging issues to transparently address efforts in sustainable development, thereby creating greater value for all stakeholders.
