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 corporate sustainable development. Wistron referenced the five major principles in the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standards (SES) to ensure effective communication with stakeholders, including dependency, responsibility, influence, diverse perspectives, and tension. Stakeholders are classified into seven groups based on 60 stakeholder identification questionnaires: Employees, Customers, Shareholders/Investors, Suppliers, Government Agencies/Competent Authorities, Non-Profit Organizations/Communities, and Media.

The communication methods and results with various stakeholders in 2022 are as follows, and the report was submitted to the Board of Directors on December 22, 2022.
