Qisda and Sustainable Development
The Honorary Chairman of Qisda Corporation, K.Y. Lee
Believes that the purpose of a company’s existence is to create sustainable value that can contribute to human society and further bring positive effects.
The so-called sustainable operations mean to pursue such permanent value.
To become a company with considerable development potential that can stand the test of time, incorporating the historical perspective and cultural mindset into the business model and adopting “integrity” as the top ethical principle of corporate business operation is the only key.

Corporate Sustainable Development Committee
In 2023, Qisda established the Board-level functional committee – the Corporate Sustainable Development Committee. The committee convenes at least once annually and serves as the decision-making, review, and supervisory body for the Company’s sustainability-related initiatives across the three major pillars of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). Through this committee, the Board of Directors fulfills its role as the Company’s highest governing body, overseeing and safeguarding the interests of the Company, shareholders, employees, and all stakeholders.
In addition, regulatory compliance related to sustainability is reported to the Corporate Sustainable Development Committee. For instance, following the release of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) in 2023, the Company established an implementation task force in 2024 for IFRS S1 “General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information” and IFRS S2 “Climate-related Disclosures”. The implementation progress is reported quarterly to the Corporate Sustainable Development Committee and the Board of Directors

The Chief Sustainability Officer, Danny Lin, serves as the vice chairperson and is responsible for establishing and planning matters related to corporate sustainable development.Moreover, the ESG unit coordinates, promotes and guides the implementation by the department concerned. In order to improve the performance continuously, the ESG Committee convenes at least once a quarter. The Chairman and President preside over the meeting together to direct and supervise the senior managers.The committee members of different dimensions report the implementation status of the performance indicators and the progress of the corporate sustainable development relevant issues.
Currently, the Committee monitors and discusses 51 indicators. It has held 75 meetings to date. Sustainability personnel and the personnel of each task force perform information and performance validation to ensure the consistency, completeness and accuracy of data; when any omissions are found, the data will be returned to the head of each department to complement and confirm the information.
