Governance for Sustainability

The ESG and Information Security Committee (formerly the ESG Committee) is overseen by the Board of Directors and is composed of directors and at least one independent director (for member composition, please refer to 5.2.1 Functions of Board of Directors). The members elect one person to serve as the convener and chair of the meetings. The committee meets at least twice a year and is responsible for reviewing the Company’s overall sustainable development directions, strategies, and objectives, as well as inspecting relevant management policies and specific action plans, monitoring sustainability information disclosure, and approving the sustainability report. Five meetings were held in 2024. Key resolutions and further information can be found in section 5.2.1. To strengthen sustainable competitiveness and enhance information security management, the Board of Directors has resolved to rename the “ESG Committee” to the “ESG and Information Security Committee.” Under this committee, two subcommittees have been established: the “ESG Executive Committee,” composed of the President & CEO and the Chief Sustainability Officer; and the “Information Security Executive Committee,” composed of the President & CEO, the Chief Infrastructure & Technology Officer, and the Chief Information Security Officer. These committees are responsible for overseeing and managing the execution performance of various ESG and information security projects.

Wistron established the Sustainability Office in 2021 to spearhead and manage sustainable development across the company. A Chief Sustainability Officer was appointed in 2025 to roll outsustainability strategies, projects, as well as initiatives passed by the board of directors and the ESG and Information Security Committee. This includes sustainability disclosures, annual sustainability reports, identification of relevant sustainability topics, formulation of initiatives, budget allocation for the organization's sustainable development, and progress monitoring to ensure that our daily operations comply with sustainability strategies.

Wistron integrates sustainability into daily operations and systematically incorporates past ESG performance actions to envision greater sustainable value creation for the future. This has led to six brand-new sustainability strategies, known as the ESG 6-Pillar, that will drive Wistron's advancement in the next decade. It starts from the vision and is drawn up from top to bottom to define short-term (1-3 years), mid-term (4-5 years) and long-term (6-10 years) goals. Senior executives serve as Pillar Owners and guide each working group to roll out corresponding plans from the bottom up, ensuring a solid structural foundation for these strategies. The President & CEO, also chair of the ESG Executive Committee, oversees progress across the sustainable strategies each month and reports achievements to the ESG and Information Security Committee at least once every six months.
