Sustainability Group

To effectively implement its sustainability policies and development direction, GMT has established a Sustainability Team, comprised of heads and personnel from relevant departments. Each member is responsible for their respective business area according to their assigned duties, ensuring that sustainability measures are closely integrated with daily operations. The Sustainability Team will execute relevant strategies based on the annual operating plan and continuously review and adjust sustainability goals and directions to flexibly respond to changes in the market environment and regulatory requirements, promoting the company's sound economic, environmental, and social development. Currently, the Administration Department is responsible for the overall planning and resource integration of sustainability-related matters, reporting regularly (at least once a year) to the Board of Directors on the progress and effectiveness of sustainability strategies, assisting the Board in continuously monitoring the sustainability process and serving as an important basis for improving corporate decision-making and governance.

(Four)

By integrating risk management systems with internal audit and control systems, we can strengthen risk warning and response capabilities, thereby enhancing the resilience and competitiveness of enterprises for sustainable operation.

Our risk boundary assessment focuses on our various factories in Taiwan, including the Puxin main factory and the Xiushui factory, but does not include overseas subsidiaries such as PROMOTE CO., LTD., GMT Europe GmbH, and Dongguan Dingqi Intelligent Automation Technology Co., Ltd.
Taking into account the differences in the jurisdictions, operating models, and management systems of the subsidiaries, the 2024 sustainability risk assessment will initially focus on the main operating locations in Taiwan. The exclusion of the aforementioned companies does not imply the absence of relevant risks, but rather reflects the definition based on the risk boundaries set for 2024.
Based on the principle of materiality, the ESG Committee compiles major economic, environmental, and social issues at least once a year and reports to the Board on the progress and effectiveness of the sustainability strategy. The relevant risks, management policies, corresponding measures, and the financial impact of short-, medium-, and long-term goals and climate change risks for fiscal year 2024 were submitted to the Board on June 12, 2024.
