Message from the President

In recent years, the world has been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a global search for innovative opportunities to challenge and overcome the current circumstances. This situation has also sparked a transformative wave of exciting sustainable developments worldwide. ABC has been gradually constructing a sustainable blueprint, continuously enhancing its long-term sustainable value. To align with the Financial Supervisory Commission's "Corporate Governance 3.0" requirements and global standards, ABC established the "CSR Committee" in 2020, which was officially renamed the "ESG Committee" in 2022. In this year's third Sustainability Report, the scope of disclosure encompasses information from across the entire group, achieving the group's ESG goals within three years, covering three major dimensions. This fully attests to ABC's commitment to sustainability and responsible corporate practices.

Since 2002, ABC has passed ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TS 16949 automotive electronics factory certification, IECQ QC080000 certification, as well as IATF 16949 certifications in 2017. ABC's quality management, environmental management, hazardous substance management, and automotive supplier management systems have been fully developed and have reached international standards. ABC is constantly striving for excellence, and it actively involves all employees in the pursuit of the motto "Everything that passes through our hands is the most beautiful and the best." This commitment to quality is integrated into every department and process, and the Company's efforts and achievements have been recognized. In 2022, ABC was awarded the 58th 2-Star Excellence Management Quality Award by the Chinese Society for Quality (CSQ).

ABC is steadily advancing in its journey towards sustainable energy management. To actively align with international standards, the company's 2022 Sustainability Report incorporates a dual framework for disclosing sustainability information, including the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board). As a key player in the global electronic component supply chain, ABC initiated a group-wide greenhouse gas inventory program for its five manufacturing facilities worldwide in 2021. The Company followed the "ISO 14064-1:2018 Organization Level Greenhouse Gas Inventory" guidelines to compile greenhouse gas inventory reports. In 2022, ABC successfully completed external verification of its group-wide greenhouse gas emissions, achieving the GHG inventory blueprint set forth by the FSC ahead of schedule, aligning with the FSC's plan for all TWSE/TPEx listed parent companies, as well as domestic and international subsidiaries to complete greenhouse gas inventories by 2027. In addition to these efforts, ABC constructed the new Block C Building at its Yangmei Plant 2 as a green building integrated with smart factory technology, receiving certification as a candidate green building in 2022. This green building is designed with sustainability as its foundation and energy efficiency as its goal and strives for expanded production while supporting the principles of a circular economy. By reducing pollution, conserving resources, and minimizing the environmental impact of its operations, ABC is achieving milestones in its commitment to climate change action.

ABC also hosts a variety of health promotion activities each year, including mindfulness-based stress reduction and therapy for depression programs. Activities include health seminars on topics such as balanced nutrition and smart eating, providing valuable information to employees about maintaining a healthy diet. Additionally, the company organizes small-scale sports competitions like jump rope and step challenges. Following the receipt of the "Badge of Accredited Healthy Workplace" awarded by the Health Promotion Administration in 2021, we continued to be honored with the "Badge of Accredited Healthy Workplace" in 2022. Furthermore, we rigorously adhere to labor regulations at our operational facilities to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of our employees. We also adhere to and comply with the human rights protection principles and guidelines as outlined in various international human rights conventions, and treat all employees equally and with respect.

The mid- and long-term business policy for 2023 is to "upgrade systems, expand product lines, support marketing operations, and strive to reduce costs, improve product competitiveness, and maintain a positive growth of 5% in annual revenue." All efforts within ABC Group will be closely aligned with this business policy, as we continue to share the entrepreneurial values with employees, shareholders, and customers, aiming for a brighter future together with all stakeholders.
