Decision-Making Process for Major Issues


Impact Level Matrix Analysis

Among the 23 sustainability issues, seven governance-related issues are categorized for general disclosure and result-oriented reporting, and are therefore not included in the ranking. The remaining 16 issues undergo a dual materiality analysis based on "sustainability impact level" and "operational impact level", with the concern level from external stakeholders incorporated to enhance diverse perspectives on issues. After thorough discussion by the Corporate Sustainability Committee, the issues were consolidated into 12 material sustainability issues, which were then submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. In 2024, "Product Quality and Safety" was added, while the "Human Rights" issue was removed (incorporated into the overall sustainability impact analysis for consideration)


Communication with Stakeholders

The Corporate Sustainability Committee regularly communicates with stakeholders and collects sustainability issues of concern, based on the material sustainability issue analysis flow. Each year, the committee compiles "Faraday's Stakeholder Communication Status" and submits it to the Board of Directors for review (most recent report date: October 29, 2024).
