The Committee is responsible for formulating corporate sustainability policies, setting key performance indicators (KPIs), goals, and plans for each functional group, as well as reviewing their performance. Regular meetings are held to promote and strengthen the implementation of sustainability initiatives, including climate-related issues. The Committee reports the execution status of each functional group to the Board of Directors annually. Under the Committee, an Environmental Group has been established to manage the environmental management system, ensure compliance with environmental regulations, assess improvements in resource efficiency, and develop climate change response mechanisms. Cross-departmental meetings are held as needed to achieve the goal of environmental sustainability.
2.Description on how the identified climate risks and opportunities impact the company’s business, strategies, and finance (short, mid, long-term) This Company has gone through three stages: collecting information on climate-related risks and issues in the food manufacturing industry, taking stock of climate-related risks and opportunities, and identifying key climate risks and opportunities. From this process, five significant climate risks and one major opportunity have been identified. The assessment of short-term, medium-term, and long-term impacts, as well as adaptation management strategies, is detailed in Appendix 1.
3.Description on the impact extreme climate events and transitional actions have on finance The financial impacts of extreme weather events and transition actions on the Company are detailed in Appendix 1.
4. Description on how the climate risk identification, assessment, and management process is integrated in the overall risk management system The Board of Directors is the highest governing body for risk management in the Company, responsible for approving, reviewing, and overseeing the Company’s risk management policies to ensure legal compliance and the effectiveness of risk management, with the goal of promoting and implementing enterprise-wide risk management. In addition, the “Risk Management Policy” was approved by the Board in 2020 as the primary basis for the Company’s risk management practices. To oversee overall risk management, the Company has established a Risk Management Committee, which regularly assesses internal and external environmental changes and, based on resolutions of the Board, sets priorities and key areas for risk control, including potential physical and transition risks arising from climate change. Each responsible unit for different risk categories is in charge of monitoring risks, formulating implementation plans and response measures, and conducting regular evaluations to prevent and control related risks. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for submitting an annual report on the implementation of the risk management policy to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, along with any necessary recommendations for improvement. For further information, please refer to Appendix 2.
5. Should scenario analysis is used to assess the Company’s resilience in face of climate change risks, explanations on the scenario, parameters, hypothesis, analysis factors and major financial impacts should be provided Current regulations do not yet require the disclosure of scenario analysis. Our company has not yet adopted scenario analysis as an assessment tool; however, internal discussions, evaluations, and implementation planning are ongoing.
6. Should there be transitional programs in response to managing climate-related risks, please explain the program’s content and metrics and targets used to identify and manage physical and transitional risks The adaptation management operations of our company in response to managing climate risks are outlined in Appendix 1, including adaptation management strategies, indicators, and goals.
7. Should the internal carbon pricing is used as the planning tool, the pricing mechanism should be explained To enhance internal awareness of carbon pricing, Uni-President officially implemented an internal carbon pricing mechanism starting in January 2024. In line with the Ministry of Environment's carbon fee standards, a rate of NT$300 per ton of CO₂e is set as the internal carbon fee benchmark. The head office collects the carbon fee from each business unit, which is then allocated to a carbon fee fund. The purpose of the carbon fee is to incorporate carbon costs into our investment and operational decision-making. Specifically, the internal carbon price is included in cost-benefit analyses to evaluate investments such as energy-saving technologies, green building certifications, and retrofit projects.
Uni-President has set carbon reduction targets, aiming for a 38% reduction by 2030 compared to 2005, when emissions totaled 236,000 metric tons. In 2024, the Company achieved a total electricity reduction of 8.22 million kWh and a natural gas reduction of 1.839 million cubic meters. The average electricity savings rate across all major plants reached 2.17% in 2024. Compared to 2005, emissions decreased by 66,600 metric tons in 2024, representing a 28% reduction. At NT$300 per ton, this equates to a total savings of NT$19.98 million.
