SinoPac Securities is a company limited by shares wholly owned by SinoPac Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. (SinoPac Holdings). In alignment with the sustainability vision and development blueprint of its parent company, SinoPac Holdings upgraded its Sustainable Development Committee to a functional committee of the Board of Directors effective July 1, 2024. The Committee shall consist of no fewer than three members, including at least one independent director. Its members comprise 11 directors from SinoPac Holdings and its subsidiaries, including the banking, securities, and leasing businesses. All members possess professional knowledge and expertise in sustainability matters to ensure consensus-building and effective implementation of sustainability-related decisions across the Group. The Committee also includes three independent directors of SinoPac Holdings, and is convened and chaired by the Chairman of SinoPac Holdings.

The Sustainable Development Committee oversees the Company's sustainability policies, systems, and key short-, medium-, and long-term sustainability initiatives, annual sustainability work plans, the review, monitoring and revision of implementation effectiveness, and sustainability-related information disclosure. SinoPac Holdings has also established a Sustainability Office under the Sustainable Development Committee as the dedicated sustainability unit and appointed a Vice President of SinoPac Holdings as Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO). Relevant work plans and implementation progress are regularly reported to the Sustainable Development Committee on a quarterly basis and submitted to the Board of Directors at least semi-annually. In 2025, the Sustainable Development Committee convened six meetings and submitted reports to the Board of Directors on five occasions. Reports presented in March, June, and September included the “2025 Sustainability Work Plan Implementation Status” and the “Progress of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards Adoption Plan.” In July, the Committee reported the “2024 Sustainability Report.” In December, the Committee approved revisions to the “Key Short-, Medium-, and Long-term Sustainability Initiatives” and reported the “2025 Sustainability Work Plan Implementation Status,” the “2026 Annual Work Plan,” and the “Progress of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards Adoption Plan.” During the reporting and discussion process, directors regularly raised inquiries and provided guidance to review and supervise the implementation of various work plans and, where necessary, urged the management team to make appropriate adjustments.

To manage the risks and impacts of its operational activities on the economy, environment, and society, SinoPac Securities has established a Sustainable Development Promotion Team aligned with the Sustainable Development Committee of SinoPac Holdings. The Company has formulated the “Guidelines for the Establishment and Operation of the Sustainable Development Promotion Team,” under which the Team is responsible for proposing and implementing sustainability policies, systems, and related management plans. This initiative aims to strengthen corporate governance, promote environmental sustainability, support social welfare, and enhance sustainability-related information disclosure, thereby fulfilling corporate social responsibility and pursuing sustainable business operations. The Sustainable Development Promotion Team is convened by the President, who also serves as a director of SinoPac Securities and a member of the Sustainable Development Committee of SinoPac Holdings. Other members are appointed from among business unit heads and supervisors designated by the President, with the total number of members being no fewer than three. The Executive Secretary is the head of the President’s Office and is responsible, under the direction of the convener, for coordinating the administrative affairs of the Team, including the integration of data for the Sustainability Report and publication of the report. The Sustainable Development Promotion Team comprises five working groups: Corporate Governance, Customer Relations, Employee Welfare , Environmental Protection, and Social Participation. These working groups are responsible for formulating sustainability policies, systems, and related management plans, as well as collaborating with relevant departments to promote sustainability-related initiatives. The heads of the working groups are appointed by the convener.

The Sustainable Development Promotion Team convenes quarterly meetings and reports the performance and planning of sustainability initiatives to the Board of Directors each quarter. In 2025, the Team held a total of five meetings and submitted reports to the Board of Directors on four occasions. In January, it reported the results of the Company’s sustainability initiatives in 2024, proposed revisions to the key short-, medium-, and long-term sustainability priorities, and presented the 2025 work plan. In April, July, and October, it reported on the progress of sustainability initiatives for 2025, and in July it also presented the 2024 Sustainability Report. All matters reported were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.
