In 2022, Winbond elevated the organizational level of the ESG Committee to be under the purview of the Board of Directors, with the chairman directly serving as the committee's chairman. Winbond has allocated resources to three main aspects: TCFD climate governance, green investment, and promoting a carbon reduction culture. Winbond aim to strengthen employees' awareness and behavior towards carbon reduction through the communication of principles and practical operations, thus exerting a positive impact on the environment and society, and fulfilling our commitment to sustainable development. [...] Winbond has restructured the current 'Winbond Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation Committee' into the ESG Committee in May 2022 (as shown in Figure 1). The level of committee is raised to be under the purview of the Board of Directors. It shall be composed of several directors and five to seven executive managers from relevant departments including the President. The term of the directors is the same as the term of the Board of Directors while the Chairman serves as the chairperson of the committee. Under the ESG Committee, Winbond established the ESG office and five task forces, including Environmental Sustainability, Green Products, Human Rights and Social Inclusion, Sustainable Supply Chain, and Corporate Governance. Winbond has developed a sustainable strategy framework (as shown in Figure 2) and continue to promote sustainable actions. The committee reports its implementation achievements to the Board of Directors every fourth quarter to ensure the promotion and implementation of works related to corporate sustainability.
