Sustainable Development Committee

To further strengthen sustainability governance, HANTECH BIO-TECH formally established the Sustainable Development Committee in 2024, with the Board of Directors serving as the highest governance body for sustainability matters. Departmental responsibilities and implementation directions are planned according to the three core ESG dimensions of environment, social, and governance.

At the same time, under the guidance of the Chairman, the ESG Sustainable Development Task Force was established to coordinate work related to climate change and risk issues and ensure that climate goals are implemented and continuously improved. The task force is responsible for identifying and managing material sustainability issues, promoting strategy implementation and performance tracking, regularly reporting progress to the Sustainable Development Committee, and reporting results and implementation plans to the Board of Directors at least once a year.

2024 Operations

In 2024, the Sustainable Development Committee reported to the Board of Directors twice. The reports covered the identification and management of sustainability-related issues, including climate change risks and opportunities, the establishment of sustainability management procedures, and planning for the 2025 audit program.

During the annual budgeting and operating planning process, environmental considerations were also incorporated into product design and packaging strategies in response to market trends and needs. The company promoted the use of recyclable packaging materials to reduce environmental impact and work with customers toward sustainable development goals.

Sustainability Strategy Roadmap

◣ Align Strategies with Sustainability Goals: Refer to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations to establish internal action indicators and implement concrete measures aligned with relevant goals.

◣ Strengthen Data Management and Disclosure Transparency: Gradually build data foundations for carbon inventories, energy use, and other areas to strengthen stakeholder communication and the reliability of reporting.

◣ Deepen Employee and Supply Chain Engagement: Promote broader adoption of sustainability responsibilities through internal training, supplier conferences, and ESG evaluations.

◣ Adopt Innovative and Digital Tools: Apply automation, intelligent monitoring, and systematic management platforms to improve sustainability management efficiency.

In a rapidly changing market environment and amid global challenges, HANTECH BIO-TECH proactively identifies and evaluates risks and strengthens risk control measures to ensure stable operations and sustainable development.

Through a comprehensive risk management system, the company not only improves internal controls and decision-making quality, but also strengthens organizational resilience. This enables continued progress across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions, fulfillment of responsibilities to stakeholders, and long-term sound operations.

Risk Identification

The company regards risk management as an important part of business decision-making and has established the Risk Management Policy and Procedures as the basis for identifying and addressing operational, financial, regulatory compliance, information security, human resources, supply chain, climate change, intellectual property, and other material risks.

The Board of Directors is the highest decision-making body and is responsible for reviewing and overseeing major risk strategies. Functional units identify, assess, and control risks according to their responsibilities, while potential risks are regularly reviewed and addressed through the management structure and project-based mechanisms.

Risk Management Process

Risk identification is primarily based on internal management experience to identify potential risks and opportunities and formulate corresponding strategies and control measures in advance. This helps reduce potential harm, capture growth opportunities, and ensure stable operations and sustainable development.

Risk Assessment and Response

To ensure continued corporate growth and effective resource allocation, HANTECH BIO-TECH followed its risk identification process in 2024 to identify the risks with the greatest potential impact on the company. These included interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, inflation risk, regulatory compliance risk, information security risk, operational risk, investment risk, facility expansion risk, supply chain risk, revenue risk, changes in ownership and management control risk, as well as geopolitical and economic risk.

After analyzing and evaluating the causes of the risks above, the company established response and mitigation measures to strengthen risk control and safeguard stable operations and sustainable development.
