Aligning with the SDGs
Based on the material topics we identified and the Company’s development strategy, we have selected four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we can respond to with concrete actions. WE have assessed the targets and indicators under these SDG goals to adjust and devise clear and practical performance indicators, as detailed below:
 |  |  |  | |
Material Topic | Goal 6 Clean Water and Sanitation | Goal 7 Affordable and Clean Energy | Goal 12 Responsible Consumption and Production | Goal 13 Climate Action |
Regulatory Compliance | ○ | ○ | ||
Occupational Safety and Health | ||||
Pollution Prevention | ○ | ○ | ||
Product Responsibility | ○ | |||
Customer Relationship and Marketing Development | ○ | |||
Organizational Resilience | ○ | ○ |
As shown in the table below, we have identified performance indicators relevant to these SDGs.
Accomplishment in 2022: We successfully achieved the annual targets for all six performance indicators corresponding to the SDGs.
