Sustainability Governance Framework
To implement sustainability governance and keep track of domestic and international sustainability standards and trends, CyberLink established the ESG Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Task Force in 2023. The Board of Directors serves as the highest governing body, with the Chairperson acting as the Committee Chairperson and the President as the Vice Chairperson, facilitating the operation of the Sustainability Committee. The Committee Chairperson appoints committee members from the heads of various departments.
In addition, in line with the spirit of the "Corporate Social Responsibility Principles," four executives with expertise in finance and accounting, legal affairs, information technology, sustainability development, corporate governance, and human resources, together with the head of the Perfect CyberLink Education Foundation, jointly oversee and lead four sustainability working groups: the Environmental Sustainability Group, the Social Contribution Group, the Employee Care Group, and the Corporate Governance Group.
After gaining an in-depth understanding of the company’s sustainability management needs and collecting feedback from stakeholders, the ESG Sustainability Committee formulates policies, systems, and related management guidelines, which are then submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Meanwhile, CyberLink’s four sustainability working groups are responsible for monitoring material sustainability issues, initiating related projects, and implementing initiatives. Their work follows the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle to ensure effective management and continuous improvement.
The ESG Sustainability Committee reports to the Board of Directors at least once a year on implementation results and future development plans. In 2024, the Committee held a total of five meetings to present progress and future plans to the Board, on February 29, March 27, April 25, July 25, and October 30, 2024.
Materiality Assessment and Topic Management
CyberLink regularly conducts materiality analyses, currently following the GRI Standards as the analytical framework. We have developed an impact-oriented approach to materiality assessment, enabling the identification of key sustainability topics.
In addition, CyberLink integrates material topics with its corporate risk management, identifying sustainability topics that may pose potential risks from the perspective of organizational resilience, and incorporating them into the sustainability management process.
Materiality analysis not only serves as the basis for regular disclosures but also provides critical input for our long-term sustainability goals and strategies. Our specific steps for identifying material topics include:
1. Collection |
Sustainability topics highly relevant to CyberLink are identified through the following channels:
|
2. Identification |
All topics are assessed for materiality using the following methods:
|
3. Confirmation |
Based on the materiality identification results, the ESG Sustainability Committee confirms the classification of topics:
|
4. Response and Tracking |
Material and secondary topics are tracked and addressed as follows:
|
In 2024, CyberLink classified and analyzed 19 sustainability topics, resulting in a materiality matrix. The assessment identified 9 material topics, 3 secondary topics, and 7 low-materiality topics.
- Sustainable Products
- Business Performance and Operations
- Innovation and R&D
- Business Ethics and Integrity
- Legal Compliance
- Information Security
- Customer Relationship Management
- Talent Recruitment, Retention, and Development
- Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Engagement
- Sustainable Supply Chain Management and Procurement Policy
- Climate Change Financial Impacts and Adaptation Measures
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Corporate Governance and Tax Policy
- Energy and Resource Management
- Employee Health and Wellness
- Sustainable Value Chain
- Waste Management
- Risk Management
- Human Rights Policy and Diversity & Inclusion
For material and secondary topics, the ESG Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Task Force have established corresponding risk management policies and response strategies, with related management information regularly disclosed through our sustainability reports, annual reports, and other channels. For example, under the topic of Energy and Resource Management, we have implemented carbon emissions inventories and set reduction targets; for Information Security, we continue to strengthen internal protection and monitoring mechanisms, provide employee training, and undergo external third-party standard certifications.
Looking ahead, we will continue to review and update material topics and their associated risk response measures to ensure strong alignment between sustainability strategies and enterprise risk management, thereby enhancing overall resilience and building stakeholder trust.
Sustainability Goal Management
CyberLink establishes short-, medium-, and long-term sustainability development goals through a comprehensive evaluation of business operations, industry trends, and materiality assessment results. These goals are regularly reported and discussed at the Board of Directors meetings to ensure continuous progress in sustainability development.
