Message from the Chairman

To all those that care about Chipbond:

Thank you for your continued support and trust in Chipbond Technology! As we step into 2025, the world is confronted with multifaceted challenges and transformations, including climate change, net-zero emissions, geopolitical tensions, and technological governance. Chipbond's operating environment is evolving rapidly in response. With a proactive and forward-looking approach, we continue to craft our sustainability blueprint and take concrete actions to meet societal expectations, environmental demands, and the pressures of industrial transformation—moving toward a future driven by innovation and responsibility.

Strengthening Sustainability Governance and Building a Foundation of Transparency and Accountability

Chipbond firmly believes that robust sustainability governance is the cornerstone of long-term corporate development. Over the years, we have continually enhanced the functions of our Board of Directors and governance mechanisms, earning top 5% recognition in the "Corporate Governance Evaluation" for eleven consecutive years and receiving the "OTC Leading Governance Award". At the end of 2024, we updated our internal controls to include "Sustainability Information Management", ensuring accurate and compliant disclosures. With rising cyber risks driven by AI, we enhanced employee awareness and achieved certification under the latest ISO 27001 standard to safeguard our information assets.

Advancing Green Innovation and Committed to Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction

In response to climate change, Chipbond actively promotes low-carbon transformation. We follow the TCFD framework to assess climate risks and identify opportunities, conduct GHG inventories and third-party verifications to pinpoint emission hotspots, and implement continual improvements. In 2024, we completed 29 energy-saving projects, achieving estimated savings of over 6.67 million kWh. We also expanded our investment in renewable energy and promoted the ISO 50001 energy management principles. By leveraging automation to optimize processes and improve energy efficiency, we demonstrate our commitment to green innovation.

Empowering Digital Transformation and Reducing Resource Consumption

To minimize reliance on natural resources, we launched the "Paperless Revolution" initiative. By streamlining processes and adopting digital tools, we significantly reduced paper consumption while enhancing information delivery efficiency—demonstrating our dedication to environmental protection through concrete digital transformation efforts.

Creating a Diverse, Inclusive, and Happy Workplace

Talent is the foundation of sustainable development. Chipbond is dedicated to cultivating a friendly, safe, and inclusive work environment, upholding gender equality and equal opportunity principles. We proactively exceed hiring quotas for persons with disabilities to promote social inclusion. By continuously improving communication mechanisms and training programs, we empower every employee to grow and thrive within a culture of mutual success.

Deepening Social Engagement and Delivering Sustainable Value

We believe that corporate influence should extend into every corner of society. In 2024, we collaborated with various partners to promote education, environmental protection, and charitable initiatives: We organized the "Career Exploration Journey" program with Boyo Social Welfare Foundation and Xinfeng Junior High School to guide students in exploring career paths; co-hosted a Sustainability Market with National Tsing Hua University to stimulate local economic development; and arranged the "Exploring the Water World" environmental education course to raise awareness of water resource issues among employees and their families. In addition, we held a tree adoption activity for Arbor Day and participated in the Andrew Charity Association's "Food Bank Program" to care for underprivileged communities. Every effort reflects our commitment to social well-being and shared prosperity.

Expanding Global Presence and Amplifying Sustainable Impact

At the end of 2024, we made a pivotal move and announced the establishment of a Malaysian subsidiary in the Southeast Asian market, opening up new horizons for our global layout. Through collaboration with global partners, we aim to unlock new growth momentum.

Looking ahead, we will continue to uphold our core values— integrity, competency, honor, innovation, proactive, and service— driving growth through innovation and implementing sound sustainability strategies to enhance our ESG performance. Together with our stakeholders, we will forge a resilient, hopeful, and sustainable future and write a brighter chapter in our sustainability journey.
