Stakeholder Engagement-Wistron ESG

Stakeholder Engagement

Wistron has adopted the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI Standards) and the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standards as the framework to establish the procedures for identifying material topics for sustainable development. We rely on the five major principles – Dependency, Responsibility, Influence, Diverse Perspectives, and Tension - outlined in the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standards (SES) to ensure effective communication with stakeholders. Stakeholders are classified into seven groups: Employees, Customers, Shareholders/Investors, Suppliers/Contractors, Government Agencies/Industry Associations, Non-Profit Organizations/Communities, and Media. As contractors are considered important partners for our offices and manufacturing sites, we’ve developed separate surveys to engage with and manage our contractors. The communication methods and results with various stakeholders in 2025 are as follows:

Employees

Customer

Shareholders/Investors

Suppliers/Contractors

Government Agencies/Industry Associations

Non-Profit Organizations/Communities

Media
