Material Topic Management and Analysis Process

01

Understand the Organizational Context

Identify stakeholders and compile the sustainability topic list

Stakeholder Identification

Based on the five principles of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (AA1000 SES), seven key stakeholder groups were identified:

Shareholders, Suppliers/Contractors, Customers, Employees, Government Agencies, Academic/Research Institutions, Financial Institutions

Stakeholder Concern Survey

Conducted surveys across 7 stakeholder groups via diverse channels and online responses, recovering a total of 572 valid questionnaires.

Sources of Sustainability Topics List

Referenced domestic and international regulations, industry topics, SASB, TCFD, and GRI standards, alongside company operational goals and internal departmental feedback. Identified positive, negative, actual, and potential impacts generated by enterprise operations on the environment, society, and governance.
In 2025, following evaluation, the company maintained the 21 focus topics from the previous year.

02

Identify Actual & Potential Impacts

Assess the impacts of material topics.

Through online surveys or department head interviews on sustainability topics, 10 survey responses were collected to evaluate the following for each topic in 2025:

Actual and Potential Impacts (Positive / Negative)
Scope / Level of Involvement
Likelihood of Occurrence

For negative impact topics, in addition to understanding the likelihood of impact occurrence, due diligence investigations were conducted based on topic relevance to evaluate the appropriateness of current management metrics and legal compliance, serving as a basis for adjustments and improvements.

03

Assess the Significance of Impacts

Establishment of Material Topics and Management Metrics.

Through meetings of the Sustainability Working Group, consultations with external experts, and confirmation by senior management, re-evaluations were conducted based on the actual/potential impact severity and likelihood of occurrence in 2025.

Key Assessment Areas
Impact Severity

(Impacts on economy, environment, and people)

Stakeholder Concern Level

(Level of concern and expectations)

Current Management Capabilities and Response

(Policies, measures, and performance)

Following evaluation, the 8 material topics identified in the previous year were maintained for management and reporting in 2025.

04

Determine Material Topics for Reporting

Finalize reported material topics and management KPIs

Based on operational impact severity and stakeholder concern level, 8 material topics were plotted on a Materiality Matrix, with corresponding short-, medium-, and long-term goals established.

Going forward, the company will continuously review the significance of each sustainability topic and adjust material topics in a timely manner based on actual stakeholder feedback, ensuring transparency, reasonableness, and balance in report disclosures.

2025 Sustainability Topics

21 sustainability topics were identified. Energy and GHG Management are shown separately in the matrix but combined as one material topic in the management table.
