Risk Control Procedures

The Company has implemented annual risk assessment and reported to the Board of Directors since 2018, and the Risk Management Policies and Procedures was established with the approval of the Board of Directors in 2021. The Risk Management Team gathers representatives from functional units to evaluate, screen and select significant risks each year, compile and analyze the statistical results and report them to the management meeting. The unit responsible for the risk will report the countermeasures for discussion. Countermeasures approved by the management meeting will then be reported to the Board of Directors by the Chairman Office. The scope of risk identification includes strategic planning, operational management, information technology, human resources, financial operations, and other issues. From 2022 onward, separate assessments will be conducted on the issues of information security, environmental sustainability, climate risk, and human resources with an aim to discuss the respective response and optimization measures.

2024 Risk Identification

Corporate governance:
