Unimicron is committed to practice in corporate social responsibility and ESG. We established the ESG Committee, as a functional committee under the Chairperson. The ESG Committee is composed of the Chairperson, Executive President, and SBU President. There are five sub-committees, including the Corporate Governance Subcommittee, the Employee and Social Relationship Subcommittee, the Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Subcommittee, the Occupational Safety and Health Subcommittee, and the Supply Chain Management Subcommittee, which set strategies, goals, plans, and regular reviews the performance of their implementation. We also have a ESG Team, which is responsible for communicating and coordinating with the subcommittees, publishing ESG Reports, and conducting ESG-related audits. In 2023, in line with the sustainable management strategy, the organizational structure will be slightly adjusted to incorporate the Information Security Management Group into the "Business Continuity and Nomination Committee".
To ensure the fulfillment of sustainability and commitment, the ESG Committee reviews the overall ESG strategy, direction, and goals and proposes improvement measures for items that do not meet the standards through semi-annual regular and irregular meetings, to ensure that the ESG strategy is fully implemented in daily operations, and ESG-related planning and implementation results are reported to the Board of Directors at least once a year for the Board’s review and guidance. The Company convened two ESG Committee meetings in 2023 to set sustainability goals, track and review the implementation of sustainable operations matters, and report to the Board of Directors on ESG-related issues, the status of stakeholder communication, important implementation results, and future focus, and more, for a total of 8 times.
To practice ESG, Unimicron not only lists the promotion of ESG as a short-, medium- and long-term business policy but also regards sustainable talents as an important part of the Company's future core competitiveness; to improve the ESG knowledge of senior executives and employees, the concept of sustainability is integrated into its primary business. 2023 Continued from 2022, organized reading clubs for senior executives and sustainability-related courses, with 12,933 participants and 13,050 hours, to foster sustainable competitiveness.
