Sustainable Strategy Direction and goals in 2025
- I. Sustainability Strategy Guidelines
- For this year, based on the evaluation criteria of internationally representative ESG indices influencing investment decisions (e.g., DJSI, MSCI ESG) and complemented by RBA (Responsible Business Alliance) requirements, we have identified key sustainability risks through internal surveys and assessments aligned with IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. These insights have yielded six major corporate sustainability management principles that will guide our strategies starting in 2025. The related outcomes will be disclosed in the corporate sustainability report as required by the Financial Supervisory Commission by August 2025.
- Leverage Committee Functions to Drive Sustainability Goals: To ensure steady progress in sustainable development, Quanta will strengthen the establishment and execution of sustainability strategy targets. Clear short-, medium-, and long-term sustainability indicators will be set according to international ESG indices (e.g., DJSI, MSCI), integrated into organizational performance evaluations to enhance transparency for customers and markets, align with IFRS disclosure standards, and explicitly address climate targets and cross-sector indicators. These efforts will optimize resource integration, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and market competitiveness, laying a solid foundation for long-term business stability. Sustainability targets will also be embedded in operational management and performance assessments, fostering sustainability as a core corporate value among employees.
- Enhance Sustainability Risk Management Framework and Implementation: Sustainability risk management encompasses environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions, addressing increased risks such as geopolitical tensions, inflation, energy crises, and supply chain disruptions. Suppliers must establish robust Business Continuity Plans (BCPs), and the company itself must identify and manage potential sustainability risks, integrating them into financial strategies to minimize impact and ensure long-term stability.
- Promote Talent Sustainability and Enhance Corporate Competitiveness: As human-centric principles form the foundation of sustainability, international ESG indices (e.g., DJSI, MSCI) emphasize human resource and talent management (including DEI and TIFD). Embedding corporate sustainability into Employee Value Proposition (EVPs) is crucial. Initiatives include cultivating sustainability-focused talent through training, fostering diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environments, and enhancing employee well-being to boost overall competitiveness and achieve long-term talent sustainability.
- Achieve Net-Zero Carbon Emissions through Energy Efficiency and Low-Carbon Innovations: With SBT approval in 2024 and in response to major clients' requirements for net-zero emissions, the company faces significant challenges in planning and implementing energy-saving and carbon-reduction measures. Strategies include low-carbon product design, supplier carbon management, and innovative processes. Low-carbon innovation will drive transformation, align with ESG goals, and create new opportunities and competitiveness across the value and supply chain ecosystems.
- Advance Supply Chain Sustainability Management and Due Diligence Expansion: To reduce risks and meet stakeholder expectations (e.g., customers, regulations), the focus will be on enhancing supply chain resilience and sustainability. Suppliers will be required to conduct due diligence on human rights, operations, materials, and environmental issues, ensuring sustainable practices and meeting development goals through digital transformation platforms.
- Intelligent Sustainability Information Management Systems: The company will prioritize building and optimizing sustainability information systems to efficiently collect, analyze, and report sustainability data. Advanced digital platforms will integrate data collection and analysis, enhancing transparency, supporting decision-making, and fostering collaboration across the value chain, thereby strengthening the company’s sustainability competitiveness.
