Letter from our Chairman

Chairman

Chairman Rex Wang

In 2022, Rexon embarked on a new journey to the next 50 years. Co-prosperity, common good, and co-benefit are the guiding principles of Rexon's sustainable development. We adhere to the five dimensions of “innovation, green practices, talent development, effective governance, and care,” ensuring our utmost commitment to social responsibility.

The challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the global economy transitioning into inflation and interest rate cycles, as well as emerging risks such as climate change and carbon reduction are all pressing concerns. As the highest governing body for sustainable development within the company, the Board of Rexon possesses a diverse range of expertise across different fields. The Board is dedicated to promoting the implementation of sustainable development principles. Through the application of technology systems, the smartification of production processes, and the integration of the R-Team lean supply chain, the company incorporates sustainability principles into its daily operations. This enables the company to navigate through rapidly changing crises and pressures with resilience and determination.

Extreme weather events are no longer mere movie plots. Rexon remains committed to closely monitoring the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to businesses. The company takes proactive measures in both operational and product aspects by setting goals for emissions reduction and implementing comprehensive plans. In terms of operations, Rexon promotes resource usage and greenhouse gas emissions management across our internal factories. The company sets short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals while adhering to TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) risk management guidelines. In 2021, the initial ISO 14064 greenhouse gas inventory was completed for the factory in the Taichung headquarter, and the ISO 14067 product carbon footprint assessment capability was implemented. In addition to ongoing emissions reduction activities, Rexon prioritizes quantifying its own carbon emissions. Through top-down initiatives within the company, Rexon actively reduces both direct and indirect carbon emissions. By setting ambitious targets ahead, the company aims to fulfill its responsibility as a part of the global community and do its utmost to contribute to a sustainable Earth. In 2022, Rexon adopted the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Universal Standards 2021. By incorporating these standards, Rexon undertakes a comprehensive review of its sustainable business practices. This initiative serves as a driving force for continuous improvement and excellence within the company.

In 2022, Rexon continued to engage in company-wide Quality Control Circle (QCC) activities. Through these activities, the organization focuses on reducing both direct and indirect waste throughout the value chain and ensuring proper recycling and disposal methods. Adopting a product lifecycle management mindset, Rexon considers various stages such as product design, manufacturing, usage, and recycling, to minimize the environmental impact of its products. The company actively seeks a balance between product functionality and environmental protection, starting with the use of environmentally friendly materials in the design and development process. Advanced manufacturing equipment and lean production practices are utilized to enhance efficiency and reduce energy consumption. We are also committed to reducing resource waste and the environmental impact of transportation activities along the value chain. We request that our suppliers participate in packaging material recycling and reuse initiatives. Additionally, we strive to recycle and reuse product packaging to minimize our product carbon footprint. We also measure and responsibly manage the amount of materials used in our processes.

Rexon recognizes that the foundation of business competitiveness lies in its core value of people-centricity. In 2022, the company implemented a four-tier training system for talent development. This system involves the planning of diverse learning and educational courses, fostering a culture of shared learning, and providing training on sustainable thinking. Rexon places great emphasis on the physical and mental well-being of its employees. The company provides facilities such as an employee fitness center and an on-site family physician for medical consultations. Additionally, a dedicated helpline with mental health counselors is available to offer diverse access to health care support for employees.

With 50 years of experience in the industry, Rexon continues to embrace a mindset of ongoing learning and updating its team management approach. Despite the rapidly changing landscape, Rexon remains passionate and patient in its pursuit of sustainability. The company recognizes the significance of talent development as a vital catalyst for enhancing its corporate value. Rexon is adjusting its pace, keeping up with the trends, and embracing innovative business thinking to create and unleash positive values within the organization.

BETTER FOR
PROSPERITY, GOOD, SHARING

Towards a better environment for shared prosperity, harmony, and sustainability, and working together to create a brighter future for society and the planet. _

To actively promote and implement corporate sustainability, foster economic, environmental, and social development, and align with international standards, Rexon Industries officially established the "Rexon Sustainability Committee (referred to as Rexon ESG Committee)" in November 2021 to ensure the effective implementation of sustainable business practices. The ESG Committee, appointed by the Chairman, is responsible for implementing corporate social responsibility policies and setting sustainable business objectives.
In August 2023, the "Sustainable Development Committee" will be established under the Board of Directors, with the Chairman serving as its chairperson. The committee will include top executives from various departments appointed by the Chairman, totaling 10 members, covering areas such as finance, legal affairs, sales, procurement, manufacturing, research and development, corporate governance, and human resources. All committees will collaborate and discuss ESG projects while providing cross-departmental resources.
The Sustainability Office serves as a dedicated unit for sustainable development, keeping abreast of global sustainability trends, analyzing governance, environmental, and social issues, and integrating operational core values, product innovation, and services to establish strategic sustainable development directions and drive projects.
The Chief Sustainability Officer, appointed as a special assistant by the Chairman, serves as the unit's management representative, responsible for understanding and analyzing global sustainability trends, managing sustainable policy objectives, and concrete actions. They report to the Board of Directors annually, including policy objectives, key sustainability plans, and performance results submitted for approval. They also timely adjust according to international sustainability development trends and respond to the expectations of various stakeholders.

Materiality Analysis

Rexon Industries follows the GRI Standards (2021) latest version, GRI 3: Material Topics Four-Step Process, and simultaneously adopts the European Union's proposed double materiality principle to identify material topics. This enhances the quality of sustainability information disclosure. The identification process evaluates the actual and potential impacts of company activities on external economic, environmental, and human aspects (human rights), as well as their influence on business operations, performance, positioning, and corporate values (financial). These assessments serve as the evaluation criteria for determining the significance of sustainability issues.

Understanding Organizational Context

Identifying Actual and Potential Impacts

Collection of Sustainability Issues

The collection of sustainability topics is primarily based on sustainability standards and guidelines (GRI, TCFD, SASB), United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ESG rating agencies (DJSI, MSCI), and the Operating Procedures for Listed Companies in Preparing and Disclosing Sustainability Reports. Through communication with various departments' operational activities and stakeholders, external consultant opinions, and industry-related characteristics and norms, the company continuously gathers relevant sustainability issues that are either actual or potential. These topics are then consolidated and categorized into 30 sustainability issues.

Understanding Organizational Context

Assessment of Material Topics

The Chairman, nine Vice Presidents, members of the Sustainable Development Committee, and sustainability consultants convene a meeting for the assessment of material topics. Following the GRI guidelines, Rexon Industries evaluates the significance of the impacts generated by its business operations on the 30 sustainability issues, both internal and external. This includes:

  • Assessing the "actual" and "potential" positive and negative impacts of the company's activities on external economic, environmental, and human aspects (human rights).
  • Evaluating the "positive" and "negative" impacts of each issue on the company's internal operations.

Impact Score Calculation

  • Significance Score for Negative Impacts: External Negative Impact (Severity * Likelihood) * Internal Negative Impact
  • Significance Score for Positive Impacts: External Positive Impact (Scale and Scope * Likelihood) * Internal Positive Impact
  • If there are sustainability issues involving human rights impacts, the weighting of the score calculation is increased. The positive and negative impact scores for each issue are then calculated.

Affected Stakeholders

  • During the identification process of each sustainability issue's significance, Rexon Industries also evaluates the individuals or groups that might be affected or potentially affected by the company's operational impacts on each issue.

Setting Priority Reporting Order for Most Significant Impacts

Based on the impact scores of the 30 sustainability issues, both negative and positive impacts are ranked. After considering domestic and international sustainability trends, the Chairman, nine Vice Presidents, members of the Sustainable Development Committee, and external consultants discuss and confirm the top 8 issues for priority disclosure in this year's sustainability report.

Response and Management of Material Topics

The relevant data for the identified material topics is provided by various departments within the company. After compiling and reviewing the content, any gaps between Rexon's overall status and management objectives are identified, forming the basis for the company's continuous efforts in sustainability improvement. The management policies and related information are then disclosed in this report.

Assessment Results of Material Topics

Through the process of materiality analysis, eight significant topics have been identified for prioritized management and response in the current year. Short, medium, and long-term sustainability goals have been formulated to enable the company to disclose sustainability issues more in line with the expectations of stakeholders and users of this report. The material topics are primarily ranked based on their negative materiality scores. The Rexon Materiality Matrix, reflecting the significance of the identified topics, is depicted below:
