The sustainability-related performance disclosed in this report covers the parent company and all entities under the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise specified in the main text. All disclosed information is based on the scope of consolidated entities.
The other data in this report were compiled from the last five years by the disclosure team, with numeral information described in the usual way and rounded in principle. In cases where the relevant performance information has been collected for less than five years or the accuracy of the information can not be validated or verified, only the data of one to four years are disclosed.
In 2025, WT began the implementation of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. For the first time, the concept of double materiality was incorporated as the method for assessing sustainability impacts. Double materiality comprises impact materiality and financial materiality. By comprehensively considering sustainability reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, IFRS), international sustainability rating indicators (MSCI, S&P CSA, CDP), and benchmark corporate practices, the Company compiled a list of relevant sustainability issues. It also evaluated the issues of concern to the five key stakeholder groups and analyzed the potential impacts arising from its economic activities and upstream/downstream business relationships within the value chain. Through this comprehensive process, a list of 18 sustainability issues was developed, which serves as the basis for disclosure in this sustainability report.
The impact materiality assessment was performed in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, analyzing each sustainability issue based on “severity” and “likelihood,” resulting in the identification of 11 sustainability issues with impact materiality. The financial materiality assessment was conducted by members of the Sustainable Development Team with reference to the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, analyzing each sustainability issue based on the “magnitude of impact” and “likelihood of occurrence” from a financial perspective, leading to the identification of five sustainability issues with financial materiality. In 2025, the results of this IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards materiality assessment were reported to the Board of Directors. These five financially material issues are all also among WT’s impact material issues.Based on the 11 sustainability issues identified through the double materiality assessment, the Sustainable Development Team members have developed management approaches to strengthen the effectiveness of sustainability management.
WT completed a full re-election of its directors at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, forming the 11th Board of Directors with a total of nine members, including four independent directors (representing 44%) and three female directors, accounting for one-third of the Board.
The Board of Directors holds at least one meeting per quarter. In 2025, a total of 10 Board meetings were convened, with an overall Director in-person attendance rate of 96.7%, and a 100% in-person attendance rate by Independent Directors.
To ensure a safe working environment throughout WT’s supply chain, uphold respect and dignity for employees, promote environmental protection in operations, and maintain ethical management practices, the Company comprehensively revised its “Supplier Code of Conduct” and “General Affairs Supplier Code of Conduct” in 2025, strictly benchmarking against international standards and covering five core dimensions: labor and human rights, health and safety, environmental protection, ethics, and management systems. This revision specifically strengthened the “Management” chapter, requiring suppliers to establish internal management systems. Suppliers are required to comply with both this Code and all applicable laws and regulations in the countries and regions where they operate.
WT aims for long-term partnerships with General Affairs suppliers who share our core values. All General Affairs suppliers are required to sign the “Supplier Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Commitment Letter” and complete an online “Supplier Self-Assessment Form,” through which our procurement team evaluates potential risks in areas such as human rights, labor practices, consumer protection, ethical business conduct, environmental protection, and health and safety. In 2025, WT Group’s target overall signing rate for general affairs suppliers was 56%, and 98 new general affairs suppliers were assessed against environmental and social criteria — all of which signed the Supplier CSR Commitment Letter. Going forward, WT will continue to integrate global general affairs suppliers into a unified management system.
WT recruits talents aligned with WT’s core values via multiple channels including job bank websites, online platforms (such as LinkedIn, CakeResume, Blink, etc.), campus career centers, partnerships with universities, colleges, and departments, as well as internal referrals. A complete training and development plan is provided to ensure talents translate learning into performance effectively and build a talent pool ready for a rapidly changing future. In 2025, an internal recruitment system was designed and implemented for mid- and high-level supervisors who transferred to another department and employees moving to another job.
In 2025, WT enhanced recruitment efforts not only through a wide range of diversified recruitment platforms, but also by strengthening partnerships with academic institutions to offer both full-time and internship opportunities. WT provided internship opportunities across various functions, including Sales, FAE (Field Application Engineering), Procurement, Order Management, IT, Process Optimization, and Human Resources — offering more than 20 internship positions in total. In addition, WT sponsored scholarships and development programs in collaboration with the College of Social Sciences at National Chengchi University and the College of Engineering at Tunghai University, as well as credit courses at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, further demonstrating its commitment to nurturing future talent through industry-academia cooperation.
To provide a better career pathway program, WT launched the “Want Talent” elite training program, recruiting selected new graduates for reinforced development. In addition to soft skills and technical courses, job rotation training and participation in important projects and large-scale conferences are organized for them to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Company’s core operating concepts. Senior executives and the Human Resources department also show regular care for them, provide career guidance, and plan individual advancement goals and development, with salary adjustments and promotions based on performance and market benchmarks, keeping talent in a changing and challenging work environment. WT also introduced the WT e-Learning Academy, a digital learning platform combining online and in-person learning, with courses in five categories that integrate e-newsletters, a knowledge center, and online courses to enrich the platform’s content.
WT values the welfare and rights of its employees and actively promotes harmonious relations between management and labors. Work rules and various management regulations have been formulated in accordance with the Labor Standards Act and relevant laws and regulations, and the Code of Practice for Sustainable Development has also been formulated to specify the rights and obligations of both employers and employees in management matters, so that employees can fully understand, comply with, and protect their legitimate rights and interests. In the case of any major changes in the operating conditions that may affect employees’ rights and interests or work environment, WT informs employees within the statutory minimum notification period in order to protect employees’ rights and interests.
WT formulated, in accordance with international human rights conventions and initiatives, a Social Policy and Code of Conduct, which was signed by the Chairman and published on the Company’s official website as a standard for all employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to follow.
WT’s Information Security Department is overseen by a Vice-President-level Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and is staffed with two dedicated managers and seven full-time specialists, responsible for security risk management, incident investigation, vulnerability disclosure, and the assessment and implementation of information security architectures.
In 2025, the team obtained a total of three internationally recognized cybersecurity certifications. WT is a member of joint-defense organizations including the TWCERT/CSIRT Alliance, the Taiwan Chief Information Security Officer Alliance, and the Information Service Industry Association of the R.O.C., and has introduced dark web intelligence monitoring and detection mechanisms to strengthen cross-organizational cyber defense capabilities.
