Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, TCFD

In response to climate change-related issues and to reduce the further deterioration of global warming, the Company is committed to greenhouse gas emission reduction activities and hopes to achieve the goal of net zero emissions in 2050 in sync with the rest of the world . The Company has established a "Sustainability Development Group" under the Board of Directors, which is composed of members with professional knowledge and capabilities in corporate sustainability. The board of directors meets every three months , and the Sustainability Team will submit a report on current climate change issues. The report includes:

1. International trends in climate change.

2. The latest status of international emission reductions , such as SBTi reduction requirements.

3. The latest progress of domestic laws and regulations, and phased requirements.

4. Collection and interpretation of market information.


In accordance with this, in addition to establishing relevant environmental management systems, the Company's Sustainability Development Group will also actively collect the latest information, actively urge the relevant responsible units of the Company to conduct greenhouse gas inventories and consider ways to reduce emissions , and compile reports to the Board of Directors to provide the Board with a further understanding of the issue of climate change and make effective decisions.

In accordance with the "Weltrend Electronics Risk Management Policy and Procedures", the company is actively developing solutions to reduce the operational and financial impacts of climate change and effectively enhance the company's climate resilience. The Company stipulates that the short term is within 3 years, the medium term is 3-5 years, and the long term is more than 5 years to further evaluate the visible and potential impacts of climate change on the Company.

The company's operating locations are less affected by extreme climate change. The only thing we must pay attention to is the loss of working hours and production caused by heavy rains, which in turn affects operating income. The only consolation is that although the heavy rains have caused a reduction in related operating income, the period is short and temporary, and will not cause significant financial impact in the long run.


In addition, based on the climate attributes of the supply chain locations currently under investigation, supply chain responses are already prepared for the impact of climate change, especially the introduction of business continuity. Therefore, for the Company, the risk of supply interruption is relatively reduced.


The Company has developed a "Risk Management Policy and Procedure" in its Sustainability Development Group, which is applicable to the risk management identification, assessment and decision-making of various issues. Our company will adopt a multi-party argumentation method (brainstorming method) to identify the possible risks and opportunities of various topics, and keep an eye on market trends to update the risk content at any time. At the same time, our company uses quantitative methods to evaluate each risk and formulate corresponding countermeasures.


The scenario analysis conducted by our company refers to the basis for scenario analysis on the "Taiwan Climate Change Estimation and Adaptation Knowledge Platform" website. The website has detailed the analysis of various scenarios and has developed climate change estimation models for various parts of Taiwan, which clearly brings great convenience to our company in carrying out this task. The models currently used by our company are:


Currently, our company belongs to the IC design industry. The main sources of greenhouse gas emissions are indoor air conditioning and office lighting, both of which belong to "Scope 2" indirect energy emissions from electricity. The direct emissions from "Scope 1 " and other indirect emissions from "Scope 3" are quite small. Based on the current situation, the company's Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are still at a reasonable stage. We plan to strengthen our efforts to achieve a 3% carbon reduction per unit (thousand yuan) of revenue in 2016.
