Message From the Chairman
Dear stakeholders,

As we celebrated our company’s 50th anniversary, we also recognized the complex global challenges that persisted in 2022.

The Russian-Ukraine war that broke out on February 24th, 2022 triggered a series of economic and supply chain disruptions. The ripple effect of inflation, soaring prices and deteriorating economic conditions posed further challenges for business operations. By the grace of God, and thanks to the dedicated efforts and support of all employees and our supply chain partners, despite a 3% revenue decline, we were still able to generate a profit to share with our valued shareholders under these challenges, and I am deeply grateful for what we have accomplished.
In 2022, extreme weather events caused by global warming continued to cause devastation around the world. The United Nations has urged countries around the world to declare a state of climate emergency and step up their climate actions. In March 2022, the Taiwanese government also announced Taiwan’s Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions in 2050, a roadmap to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Since the establishment of the Climate Change Working Group at our company in 2021, we have been consistently implementing various measures to address climate change. In 2022, we also initiated the Carbon Footprint Verification and Reduction Pathway Project, with the aim of completing carbon footprint verification for Everlight Chemical and the entire Group by 2023 and 2024, respectively.
I am also pleased to announce that, on November 10, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the company’s Sustainability ESG Policy, reaffirming our commitment to “Do Our Part as a Global Citizen, Contribute to Protecting the Planet.” The policy lays out nine key guidelines that will guide our efforts in the environmental, social and governance aspects.
In addition, we continued to enhance our energy management system by the ISO 50001 standard, implementing a wide range of measures to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions, with the aim of receiving ISO 50001 certification in 2023. In 2022, we made great progress on various key environmental indicators compared to the previous year. Our greenhouse gas emissions intensity decreased by 7%, while our water consumption was reduced by 13%. We also increased our waste recycling and reuse rate from 71% to 72%, and our recycling rate of hazardous industrial waste from 3.3% to 4.3%.
In the meantime, we remained committed to reducing ESG risks across the board. After a year-long dedication, our Sustainalytics ESG rating has improved from high-risk to medium-risk. We received the Gold Award for the Best 2021 Sustainability Report in the Corporate Sustainability Report Award category of the 2022 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA). Building on these successes, we will continue to improve our ESG performance.
Looking ahead, we also plan to further optimize our ESG website and disclosures to facilitate direct and effective communication with external stakeholders. Guided by the principles of transparency, clarity, completeness, timeliness and sustainability context, we aim to continuously improve our sustainability reporting to meet regulatory requirements and investor expectations and communicate our ESG accomplishments effectively.
In closing, I would like to wish everyone great health and happiness.

Chen, Chien-Hsin
