The Sustainable Development Department reports to executive management on the planning, progress, and effectiveness of sustainable development every six months. Additionally, the Department reports issues related to climate change and greenhouse gas management to the board of directors on a quarterly basis. Moreover, the Department submits implementation results of sustainable development initiatives and future work plans to the board of directors at least once a year. The board of directors reviews the current year's progress in implementation, the consistency of future plans with the management policy and strategic direction, as well as the rationality of target value setting. When necessary, the board of directors proposes a review and urges the management team to make timely adjustments as needed.

The preparation of the annual sustainability report begins in the fourth quarter of each year, including initiating working group meetings for communication, reviewing and discussing additions to the previous edition of the report, collecting and consolidating stakeholder concerns and annual performance, and identifying material topics to determine the focus of the report. Each department is responsible for providing data and writing the part of the report for which they are responsible, and the content of the report is reviewed by the head of the relevant department. Assurances are obtained from independent verification agencies. The complete version of the report is approved by the internal management review mechanism and submitted to the board of directors for approval, and then published on the Market Observation Post System of the Taiwan Stock Exchange and on our website. [...] The Sustainable Development Department is appointed by the Board of Directors as the main convener of economic, environmental and social (human rights) impact management at Pou Chen, and is assisted by contact points assigned by senior executives of relevant departments to manage impacts. The senior management of the Sustainable Development Department regularly provides information on performance and recommendations, and reports on sustainable development planning, progress, and effectiveness at the management meeting every six months, reports on climate change / greenhouse gas management related issues quarterly, and at least once a year at the Board of Directors' meeting. In 2023, the Sustainable Development Department reported to the Board of Directors on six issues, namely the identification of material topics for the sustainability report (stakeholder communication), greenhouse gas management, climate change risk assessment, global human rights issues and trends, employee communication (labor union management), and the effectiveness of the implementation of sustainability projects. The Board of Directors reviewed the validity of the contents, proposed reviews when necessary, and urged the management team to make adjustments when needed.
