Sustainable Development Committee
In 2022, the Board of Directors approved the elevation of the Sustainable DevelopmentCommittee to a functional committee of the Board of Directors and established the Sustainable Development Promotion Office under its supervision. Through occasional meetings and attention to issues, the Committee identifies sustainability topics of concern to SKS's operations and stakeholders, formulates corresponding strategies
and working guidelines, prepares budgets targeting the sustainable development of each organization, and plans and implements annual programs addressing each topic. Additionally, the Committee tracks implementation effectiveness to ensure that sustainable development strategies are fully implemented in SKS's daily operations. The Sustainability Development Committee convenes a meeting every six months and reports to the Board of Directors on the progress and effectiveness of sustainability initiatives.
The Sustainable Development Promotion Office reported its operations to the Board of Directors in two meetings held on March 10 and November 9, 2023, and held an ESG kick-off meeting on March 13. Additionally, members of the Office and the four executive teams (Corporate Governance, Sustainable Development, Environment, and Social) participated in ESG forums and workshops (e.g., CommonWealth Sustainability CWS, Unity Sustainability Services, and Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy) irregularly throughout each month. In this way, they improved professional learning at the individual level and the business project momentum of each unit while incorporating ESG into the Company’s sustainability strategy and making it a core competency of the Company.
