Currently, plans are being developed to report the progress and handling of sustainability matters to the Board of Directors.

• 3. Environmental Issues
• (1) Has the Company set an environmental management system designed to industry characteristics?

• (1)

• The Company is an information service sector, providing professional labor services without manufacturing, so no pollution is generated and not applicable to ISO4001 environmental certification. All recycling and reduction are aligned line with the government policies and the operation of the building management committees.
• The Company has never violated environmental safety regulations in its operations.

• (2) Does the Company endeavor to use energy more efficiently and to use renewable materials with low environmental impact? 

• (2)

• Paper saving in offices is promoted, by replacing paper with e-mail, increasing online approval, to reduce the consumption of paper and toner. The resource recycling and garbage classification are enhanced to improve the utilization rate of various resources. Because the Company belongs to the information service sector, there is no need to use recycled materials.
• The new office renovation incorporates natural lighting and embraces sustainable, environmentally friendly, and nature-inspired concepts. Recyclable and eco-friendly materials are utilized in the interior environment to create a workspace that embodies a "natural living" atmosphere. 
• The air conditioning system has been replaced with Variable Refrigerant Volume(VRV) technology, and all lighting fixtures have been switched to LED lights. This helps improve energy efficiency and reduces the environmental impact of the office space.

• (3) Has the Company evaluated the potential risks and opportunities posed by climate change for its business now and in the future and adopted relevant measures to address them? 

• (3) The company follows the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) framework to analyze climate-related risks and opportunities based on the four core elements: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. By integrating the crises and opportunities arising from climate change into its business strategy, the company aims to achieve sustainable development. 
  Recognizing the significant impact of climate change on human life, the company is committed to fostering environmental awareness among its employees. It implements environmental protection measures such as replacing outdated lighting fixtures and actively promoting a non-return policy with suppliers to reduce pollution resulting from discarded goods. Additionally, efforts are made to minimize greenhouse gas emissions during the transportation and disposal of waste generated from return processes. 

• (4) Did the company collect data for the past two years on greenhouse gas emissions, volume of water consumption, and the total weight of waste, and establish policies for greenhouse gas reduction, reduction of water consumption, or management of other wastes? 

• (4)

• The company's main source of energy consumption is from purchased electricity, accounting for over 99% of the total. The remaining 1% consists of emissions from fixed sources (such as diesel fuel used in emergency generators), mobile sources (gasoline used in company vehicles), and fugitive emissions (from refrigerants and fire ex-tinguishers). As the company does not have any production processes, it does not have process emissions (Scope 1).
  Being a low-carbon emissions industry, the com-pany does not have significant industrial water and electricity demands. It primarily uses electric-ity and water in general office operations. The in-crease in carbon emissions over the past two years (2021 and 2022) can be attributed to business expansion, the addition of office spaces, and an in-crease in personnel. The following are the details of the company's Scope 2 emissions:
  (1) The greenhouse gas emissions are as follows:

  	2021 year	2022 year
  Indirect energy emissions:   (ton CO2e)	198.416	269.209

  
  (2) Water and electricity usage:

  	2021 year	2022 year
  Water usage(mt)	1,976	2,313
  Electricity usage (degrees)	389,403	528,620

   
• As a company in the information services industry, we do not have manufacturing factories or re-use packaging materials. Our main products are distributed through agency arrangements, result-ing in no generation of hazardous waste. The waste generated primarily comes from the daily activities of our employees. We ensure that all waste is handled by authorized facilities.
  For the year 2022, the disposal of non-hazardous waste was entrusted to authorized vendors. Paper waste is destroyed through water-based methods by Zhonglong Paper Industry Company, while metal and hardware waste is handled by Xianghong Waste Disposal Limited Company. These measures ensure proper recycling and re-duce environmental pollution caused by waste. The non-hazardous waste generation of the com-pany in the past two years (2021 and 2022) has in-creased due to business expansion. The total weights are as follows: 

  	2021 year	2022 year
  Total weight of non-hazardous waste (mt)	50.311	76.546
  paper (mt)	11.679	12.335
  Iron (mt)	0.562	0.910
  Packaging (mt)	0.789	1.855
  wood (mt)	37.281	61.446

   
• The measures implemented by our company to achieve energy efficiency, carbon reduction, greenhouse gas reduction, and waste management goals as a low-pollution business are as follows:

• (1)New office: The newly established office uses more than 45% green building materials to re-duce heat generation.
• (2)No paper cups: We do not provide paper cups in the office and promote the use of eco-friendly utensils such as reusable chopsticks and cups to avoid the use of disposable utensils and reduce waste.
• (3)Paperless office: We promote a paperless office environment by enhancing electronic signatures and office automation processes to minimize paper waste, contributing to waste reduction and a decrease in the number of trees being cut down.
• (4)Gradual replacement of oil-powered vehicles: We are gradually phasing out oil-powered vehi-cles and replacing them with electric motorcy-cles, electric cars, or hybrid vehicles.
• (5)Purchase of energy-efficient appliances: We purchase home appliances with energy effi-ciency rating of level 1 and utilize off-peak charging for mechanical equipment.
• (6)Installation of sensor taps and dual-flush toilets to conserve water.
• (7)LED lighting in the office: We have replaced traditional lighting fixtures with LED lights. Lighting is planned based on work require-ments and different circuits are activated ac-cording to the usage of different areas to reduce energy consumption. Lights in unused areas are switched off promptly.
• (8)Shuttle service: The head office provides shut-tle services to nearby MRT stations, making it convenient for employees to commute using public transportation and reducing carbon emis-sions.
• (9)Early shutdown of air conditioning during win-ter months in the office.
