Implementing Sustainability
OSE Chairman & ESG Committee Chairman
ESG sustainable development is no longer merely an initiative—it has become a core driver of corporate operations and value creation. As the climate crisis worsens and resource pressures mount, from the EU’s CBAM implementation, Taiwan’s carbon fee pilot, and the rollout of IFRS S1/S2 disclosure standards, to rising supply chain carbon transparency requirements and increasing stakeholder expectations, companies today face not only challenges but also an opportunity to redefine operational resilience and competitiveness.
In 2024, the world again set new temperature records. Climate anomalies, geopolitical conflicts, rapid technological shifts, and workforce transformations intersect and resonate, testing the resilience and sustainability of industries. As a vital link in the global semiconductor supply chain, OSE recognizes that only by continuously strengthening sustainable governance, deepening internal resilience, and aligning with global trends can we overcome uncertainties and generate long-term value.
Sustainability and Dual-Axis Transformation
Since establishing the ESG Committee in 2022, OSE has adhered to international and domestic standards such as GRI, TCFD, SASB, and corporate governance assessment frameworks to build a comprehensive sustainability governance system. We have advanced carbon inventory, product carbon footprinting, supply chain ESG audits, and other systems, supported by five major task forces focusing on environmental friendliness, corporate governance, social inclusion, information security, and supply chain collaboration to implement policy requirements effectively.
Facing the upcoming carbon fee collection and heightened legal compliance in 2025, we launched a self-reduction plan aimed at increasing energy-saving benefits, expanding renewable energy deployment, and maintaining various international ESG management system certifications to ensure all operations comply with regulations and external review standards.
Sustainable Action Implementation
We firmly believe sustainability must go beyond institutional frameworks and be embedded into daily actions and corporate culture. In 2024, we prioritized “rooting ESG education,” advancing modularized ESG courses, employee evidence collection systems, supervisor risk training, information security drills, and RBA-compliant work time management. These efforts have strengthened awareness and responsibility for sustainability across the company.
Additionally, we introduced carbon inventory and carbon footprint education to cultivate a “carbon mindset” among employees across departments. By implementing carbon reduction actions—such as process optimization, automation, and equipment upgrades—we have closely integrated sustainable goals with operational performance, driving transformation from the ground up.
Interactive Communication Creates Value
We value open dialogue and consensus-building with stakeholders. In 2024, we enhanced information transparency and interactive feedback through channels like dedicated official website sections, ESG e-newsletters, major supplier conferences, external forum participation, sustainability report award submissions, and community engagement.
Through multiple disclosure efforts including sustainability reports, CDP questionnaires, and stakeholder consultations, we were honored with the TCSA Report Gold Award. Our social inclusion efforts focusing on talent development and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) earned the TCSA Talent Development Leader Award and the Ministry of Labor Gold Award. Externally, we have promoted education on career, environment, and inclusion, receiving the TSAA Taiwan Sustainability Action Award SDG04 Quality Education Bronze Award. These recognitions underscore our unwavering commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Opening Up the Future
Amid tightening ESG regulations and rising stakeholder expectations, OSE remains committed to our founding principles of integrity, stability, and sustainable management. We seek balance and breakthroughs across technological innovation, process optimization, risk management, data disclosure, and people-centered governance.
In 2025, we will continue to strengthen sustainable governance capabilities, deepen supply chain collaboration, promote low-carbon manufacturing, enhance information security, benchmark industry leaders, build organizational resilience, and steadily advance toward the next milestone of sustainable transformation.
