Words from the Management

In recent years, we have faced frequent extreme climate events such as wildfires, heatwaves, and torrential rains. Climate risks have become a continuous concern. On July 3, 2023, we even experienced the hottest day ever recorded in history. Strict climate change measures not only pose challenges but also present opportunities for Acter, motivating us to innovate our business model. Centered on our core business, we aim to reduce environmental burdens through “carbon reduction, waste reduction, and reutilization”. Through the innovation and application of our core competencies, we have enhanced resource efficiency and further reduced customers’ capital and operating costs. Our innovative business model has also generated more opportunities for nurturing young talent and contributing to society, as we collectively pursue a better future.

Environment – Heading Towards Sustainable Net Zero
The transition to net-zero has presented a significant challenge to enterprises. As a leader in green engineering, Acter not only strengthens our expertise in "industrial low-carbon engineering" but also fully supports corporate transitions towards low-carbon practices aligned with global trends. We have consistently evaluated external environments and opportunities to, through technology introduction and industry-academic cooperation, explore potential business opportunities in the carbon reduction market.

Through equipment optimization, innovative R&D, and energy-saving initiatives, Acter offers customers approaches to reduce capital expenditures and achieve low-carbon operations during factory establishment. This includes minimizing the use of high-energy consumption equipment and reducing standby electricity consumption, turning green transformation a key for enhancing industry competitiveness.

In collaboration with our suppliers, Acter has established a green supply chain by introducing low-carbon production processes and smart energy management to develop innovative solutions, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability. Simultaneously, we consistently adjust our operational decisions to, from ourselves, integrate green management into daily operations, conduct regular reviews, and continuously optimize environmental protection policies.

Society – Symbiosis and Altruism
"Talent" is key for enterprises to maintain sustainable operations. We have continuously optimized employee welfare, aiming to build a safe and healthy workplace. Our goal is to stimulate employees to optimize their full potential through competitive compensation, comprehensive training, complete career planning, and a healthy and safe workplace, thereby fostering symbiotic growth with our stakeholders.

Giving back to society and fulfilling corporate social responsibility have always been Acter’s philosophy and goals. We have devoted our core competencies to social welfare, aiming to bring a positive influence to society. Through collaborations between industry and academia, we have invested in educational resources in remote countries. This not only activates societal and business talents but also provides students with practical workplace experience, thereby building the industry’s talent pool and providing a platform for youth development.

Governance – Sustainable Operations
The key to demonstrating business achievements and ESG performance lies in corporate governance. Starting from "governance", Acter has set organizational goals and developed strategies to translate our commitment to E (Environment) and S (Society) into tangible actions for sustainable operations and ongoing profitability.

Acter is among the few listed companies ranked in the top 5% for corporate governance for night consecutive years. With a strong governance foundation, we constantly ensure operational resilience and have implemented a sustainable management framework to achieve our goals and operational performance, thereby safeguarding the rights and interests of shareholders and stakeholders. Our objective is to collaboratively create sustainable value with our stakeholders.

Conclusion
In 2024, Acter will further integrate and amplify the synergies within our Group, working closely with ecosystem partners to advance low-carbon management and uphold our commitment to sustainability. We will embody the ESG spirit across ecological environments and the enhancement of societal well-being, fostering collaborative creation, thus creating a blueprint for business sustainability. We look forward to partnering with like-minded organizations to drive enterprises, the environment, and society toward sustainable development through innovative approaches, maximizing our positive impact with each passing year.
