SinoPac Subsidiaries

SinoPac Securities established the "Sustainable Development Promotion Team" in 2022, with the President serving as the convener, and committee members consisting of business unit heads and senior executives. The task force is divided into five working groups: "Corporate Governance," "Customer Relations," "Employee Welfare," "Environmental Protection," and "Social Involvement." These groups are responsible for proposing and implementing sustainable development policies, systems, and related management plans. Among them, the "Environmental Protection" group is tasked with implementing the company's environmental action plans and aligning with the sustainability policies and initiatives promoted by its parent company, SinoPac Holdings. In line with SinoPac Holdings' commitment to achieving "net zero emissions in its own operations by 2030 and net zero emissions across the Group's investment and financing portfolio by 2050," reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the use of renewable energy will be key components of the overall environmental management strategy.

In 2021, SinoPac Securities expanded the scope of its ISO 14064-1:2018 greenhouse gas inventory to achieve 100% coverage and obtained third-party verification in 2022, ensuring that both domestic and overseas inventory and verification reached 100%. Since 2022, the company has implemented the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System and the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System, continuously optimizing internal energy management performance, striving to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The related emissions data will also serve as the basis or subsequent reviews and the implementation of emission reduction plans.
