Headed by the Chairman, the committee not only outlines Kaori's ESG visions and long-term strategies, but also coordinates with senior managers from different fields to interact with customers, government agencies, and members of society on four aspects, namely environmental management, social management, corporate governance, and sustainable products. By increasing the level of transparency, the committee contributes to the fulfillment of sustainable responsibility throughout the organization. Kaori envisions itself as an ethical and responsible business and is committed to fulfilling its social and environmental responsibilities as a corporate citizen while maximizing profit performance. At Kaori, we embrace sustainability as a source of inspiration and competitiveness.
The ESG Committee held a total of 48 meetings in 2023 to discuss project execution progress, changes in domestic and foreign laws, and issues concerning CBAM. In addition, in compliance with the "Sustainable Development Roadmap for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies," Kaori took the lead and completed the GHG inventory and third-party verification for the parent company ahead of the regulatory schedule in August 2022. We are committed to conducting annual inventories and obtaining third-party verification certificates. The subsidiary's greenhouse gas inventory and verification plan was submitted to the Board of Directors for resolution in the first quarter of 2023 and the project was initiated in the fourth quarter. It is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.
The Company has established an ESG Committee (hereinafter referred to as the ESG Committee or the Sustainability Committee) as the executive unit. The members of the environmental management team, social management team (employees and community), corporate governance team, and sustainable products team are headed by relevant department supervisors, with the General Manager serving as the convener. The coordination, compilation, and collection of ESG sustainability report documents are handed over to the executive secretary for public relations. Weekly management meetings are held to report on the implementation status and urge to make necessary adjustments.
