ESG Governance
Acer is committed to corporate sustainability, translating its commitments into actions through a proactive approach. Through ESG governance, we integrate sustainable development strategies into our business development and
operational management. The Risk Management and Sustainability Development Committee under the board of directors. serves as the highest decision-making body for promoting sustainable development. They We have established the Corporate Sustainability Committee (CSC), which is chaired by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with the ESG Office acting as the executive secretary. The members of the Corporate Sustainability Committee include senior executives such as the General Manager, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief People Officer, and Chief Sustainability Officer. This committee is responsible for approving the sustainability vision, strategies, and medium- to long-term goals; coordinating and integrating cross-departmental resources; supervising the performance of sustainability practices; overseeing the management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities; and regularly reporting to the Board of Directors.
The CSC has established corresponding working groups to address various key cross-departmental issues, including corporate governance, risk management, innovation and products, environmental management, and responsible supply chain management. Each working group aligns with the medium- to long-term sustainability targets, develops annual objectives and action plans, holds regular meetings for interdepartmental communication and coordination, and implements and tracks the action plans. The CSC convenes two meetings annually, during which they supervise and review the sustainability actions and implementation status of each working group, address the demands and expectations of stakeholders, review the annual sustainability targets, and establish medium- to long-term targets. They also engage in discussions and decision-making on material sustainability issues. The meetings for 2024 were held in June and December, with a 100% attendance rate.
The ESG Office is fully responsible for promoting sustainable development. It is led by the CSO and serves as the executive secretary of the CSC. In addition to regularly reporting the trends, impacts, and implementation performance of sustainability-related issues to the CSC, it plays the role of communication and coordination between working groups and the CSC. In addition, to communicate effectively with our global locations, we have established a Sustainability Committee at Regional Headquarters, who is responsible for formulating sustainability action plans and programs at regional headquarters to implement various sustainability issues management.
The CSO regularly reports the goals and achievements of the sustainable development strategy to the Board of Directors
on behalf of the CSC. In 2024, the CSO reported two times and the agenda discussed includes: materiality assessment results, climate strategies and net-zero emissions, amendments to biodiversity commitments, supply chain management and implementation status, and the sustainability report.
Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of the sustainability information, as well as to promote
transparency and compliance in sustainable development, the Sustainability Information Management Procedures was introduced in 2024. The document clearly defines the responsible units, control measures, and regulations for the supervision and improvement of Acer's sustainable development initiatives.
