Risk Management Organization

• The Board of Directors serves as Faraday’s highest-level strategic decision-makers for risk management. It is in charge of defining risk management policies and frameworks, fostering a risk-aware culture. The board maintains ultimate accountability for overall risk management.
• The Audit Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, meets at least once per quarter. Its responsibilities include reviewing financial statements, selecting certified public accountants, evaluating internal controls, and monitoring potential risks.
• The Risk Management Committee collaborates with operating units to implement the enterprise risk management framework to ensure that risks are thoroughly assessed and effectively controlled. It provides an annual report to the Audit Committee on key risks and effectiveness of controls.
• Robust systems are in place to ensure that management can swiftly assess the situation and take effective countermeasures in the event of an emergency.

Risk Management Framework and Scope

In 2020, Faraday resolved “Risk Management Best Practice Principles” as its framework for guiding risk management. These principles define the company's management objectives, organizational structure, and risk management procedures. They identify risks as four main categories of strategic risks, operational risks, financial risks, and hazard risks.

To maintain risks within acceptable limits, Faraday conducts annual risk assessments. We also develop corresponding management strategies and crisis response plans to minimize operational uncertainties.

Risk Identification

Faraday integrates various potential risks that could impact operations. Through regular risk assessments, we use of a risk matrix diagram to evaluate the frequency and impact of risk events and adopt corresponding risk management strategies based on the risk level.

• Governance unit: the board of directors
• Supervision unit: audit committee
• Promotion and implementation unit: risk management committee
• Operation unit: each operating division

• Strategic risks
• Operational risks
• Financial risks
• Hazard risks

• The Risk Management Committee is supervised and managed by the President, and the executive secretary is acted by the Chief Financial Officer.
• A cross-department risk management progress tracking meeting is held once every quarter and proposes relevant improvement suggestions.

Reports the implementation status to the board of directors at least once every year. The latest implementation report on risk identification result and risk management operation had been reported to the audit committee and the board of directors on October 29th, 2024.

Conduct risk impact assessment and scenario analysis for each risk project. Set up and implement crisis management strategies for medium-and-high-risk impact items.

To enhance employees' risk awareness and build a broad and deep risk management culture; internalize the risk management into daily behavior, the Company conducts regular education and training for each new recruit upon onboard day and for relevant personnel every year. In 2024, 120 people were trained for occupational safety and health, and a total of 972 people were trained in fire safety and evacuation drills, training for first-aid, and traffic drills.
