Over the past year, we have faced many difficult challenges. Although we have achieved some results in the development of new technologies and operational growth, we are fully aware that the success of a company should not only be reflected in financial performance, but also in our commitment to and practice of environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibilities.

Over the years, the Company has continued to implement various commitments under the leadership of the ESG Committee, and in November 2024, the Board of Directors revised and approved the “Corporate Sustainability Committee Charter” in the hope of further improving the promotion and supervision of sustainability goals.

In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we aim to contribute through SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). We believe these SDGs not only enhance the Company’s competitiveness but also generate a positive impact on society and the environment.

The Accton E-Charity and Accton Arts Foundation, which are supported by the Company, have continued to promote a number of social welfare projects and art-integrated activities in the past year, covering areas such as education, health, and environmental protection. We believe that through the efforts of the foundations, we can bring a more positive impact to the local community and society, and promote social harmony and progress.

To combat climate change, we have pledged to halve our carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. In addition to installing solar panels in Vietnam Accton, the Zhubei new plant, and the Nanliao warehouse to provide green electricity, we will also actively participate in the international carbon trading market to ensure that our carbon reduction efforts meet global standards.

Over the past four years, AI has brought tremendous changes to the world and continues to evolve today. We believe that AI will undoubtedly become a major driving force in the history of human progress. What we have continually reflected on is how the Company can leverage its strengths to create more efficient and energy-saving architectures, enabling AI computing infrastructure to achieve both sustainability and resilience. At present, at the Accton Innovation Hub, we have developed advanced technologies in areas such as thermal management, optical transmission, and AI data center networking.

We hope to share these innovations with top partners around the world and work together to accelerate the development of cutting-edge technologies.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to sustainable development, striving to achieve our goals and create greater value for society, our employees, and our shareholders.
