The Company adheres to the vision and mission outlined in the Regulations for the Organization of the Sustainability Development Committee, designating the Sustainability Development Committee as the highest internal ESG decision-making body. Under its structure, a Corporate Sustainability Development Task Force has been established, comprising senior executives from various fields and professional backgrounds. Together, they review the company's core operational capabilities, formulate short-, medium-, and long-term ESG development strategies, and collaboratively build the company's core strengths.

 

To promote cross-departmental collaboration and ensure the effective implementation of the company's sustainability development plans, The Company established the position of Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) in 2024. The CSO is tasked with leading the group’s overall sustainability efforts and directly reporting on the execution of sustainability initiatives to the Sustainability Development Committee and the Board of Directors.

In addition, a dedicated Sustainability Development Office has been set up under the leadership of the CSO to drive sustainability initiatives. This office supports the Sustainability Development Committee in implementing various programs, encompassing tasks such as sustainability planning, corporate governance, economic, environmental, and social initiatives. The former Corporate Sustainability Development Task Force has been horizontally integrated based on key project priorities to optimize operations.

By establishing a mechanism for cross-departmental and subsidiary collaboration, The Company ensures the effective integration of sustainability strategies into daily operations. This approach aims to strengthen the monitoring and reporting of sustainability performance and enhance the group’s proactive achievements in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices.

 

Nan Pao began addressing corporate social responsibility as a dedicated focus area in 2012. In 2020, the company established the Corporate Social Responsibility Management Committee, which was renamed the Sustainability Development Committee in 2024. This committee reports to the Board of Directors on the outcomes and plans related to sustainability efforts of Nan Pao.

It provides updates and analyses on economic, environmental, and social development issues as well as international trends. Additionally, it arranges sustainability-related training courses for board members to enhance the sustainability management knowledge of Nan Pao highest governance body.

 

Nan Pao ensures the seamless implementation of its sustainability initiatives through a governance structure and operational system that integrates vertical management with horizontal communication across the Board of Directors, management, and all operational departments. These initiatives address economic, environmental, and social issues that are of concern to stakeholders in corporate sustainability. The following outlines Nan Pao sustainability strategy:

1、Advocacy and Support from Senior Management:

The Sustainability Development Committee was established, and in 2024, a Chief Sustainability Officer was appointed.

The Board of Directors and the CSO are directly involved in driving ESG initiatives. Senior management leads functional teams in implementing sustainability solutions grounded in the company’s core competencies, committing to the successful achievement of these goals.

2、Sustainability Management Platforms:

Platforms for ESG sustainability management, greenhouse gas tracking, and environmental data management have been established to enable real-time monitoring of sustainability progress and performance across units.

Sustainability development meetings are convened as needed to strategize and facilitate cross-departmental communication and coordination, fostering sustainability momentum throughout the organization.

3、Engagement of Middle Management:

Middle managers play a crucial role as the driving force behind Nan Pao sustainability programs.

Given the diverse and complex nature of sustainability topics, once a project is proposed, each unit takes on specific responsibilities. Managers lead their teams in conducting internal and external cross-organizational and interdepartmental collaboration, embedding sustainability deeply into Nan Pao organizational DNA and generating a continuous flow of progress and innovation.
