ESG
Based on the laws and regulations of the competent authorities, international global ESG trends, and the requirements of customer and supplier social and environmental responsibilities, we have established the “Corporate Social Responsibility Best Practice Principles” to be followed in policy promotion and implementation. In order to consolidate corporate social responsibilities and to improve the quality of information disclosed, MetaAge divides corporate sustainability topics into eight major ones and manage and disclose the information accordingly, that is, Sustainable Governance, Ethical Corporate Management, Supply Chain and Customer Relationship, Information Security and Customer Privacy, Happy Workplace, Occupational Safety and Health, Environmental and Carbon Management, and Common Good in Society.
The “ESG Committee” is the unit at MetaAge for promoting corporate sustainable development. The Chairman of the Board of Directors serves as the Chairman of the Committee while the Chief Operating Officer serves as its executive secretary. Under the Committee are several working groups whose operations are compliant with the “Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles". Each working group gathers related issues within its scope of responsibility and includes important issues in the implementation plan and routine operations after assessment and analysis. Then, the Committee will present a report to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
MetaAge creates a matrix of materiality topics with the “degree of positive/negative impact” on the Y axis and the “stakeholders’ attention on sustainability issues” on the X axis. In this impact matrix, we use screening thresholds set at the top 25% for the significance of both positive and negative impacts and the top 50% for stakeholder attention. This process identifies five materiality topics. Additionally, considering the company‘s business strategy, we include one topic focused on innovative products and services, resulting in a total of six annual materiality sustainability topics.
MetaAge conducts an annual materiality analysis, with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) General Criteria and the AA 1000 Accountability principle: 2018: Inclusivity, Materiality, Responsiveness and Impact. By understanding organizational context and stakeholder attention to MetaAge ESG issues, we identifying actual and potential impacts, assessing their significance, and prioritize reporting sequences. This process enable us to identify material topics and establish an ESG information disclosure framework.
