Overview of Faraday's TCFD Management Framework

Governance

The Board of Directors regularly reviews the sustainability management performance and outcomes, including climate change-related issues.
The Corporate Sustainability Committee, chaired by the president, leads the strategic direction for corporate sustainability and sets up the target, including supervising climate change-related issues and corporate impact, regularly reports the performance and result of corporate sustainable management to the Board of Directors at least once every year.

Strategy

Analyze the impacts from short, medium, and long-term climate change risks and opportunities, following the TCFD framework.
Conduct scenario analysis simulation to evaluate possible impacts, such as the operational impacts from carbon taxes and renewable energy costs.
Continuously monitor greenhouse gas emissions and implement energy-saving initiatives.
Focus on the development of low-power consumption technology, adopt green and non-hazardous production processes and packaging materials, and enhance customer service and competitive advantages.

Risk Management

Identify climate risks and opportunities according to the scenario analysis results.
Identify feasible management measures for key risks and opportunities
To elevate the consideration of climate change risks, incorporate the risk factors into the risk guideline and analyzed alongside other operational risks.

Metrics and Targets

Develop climate-related environmental metrics, including the goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, resource usage, and waste.
Audit greenhouse gas emissions according to ISO 14064-1 standard.

Risk Scenario Analysis

Risk type	External scenario selection	External scenario description	Parameter setting and reference tool	Analysis result
Transition risk	National net zero pathway	Referring to the net zero pathway by 2050 plan announced by government, will meet net zero by 2050.	Carbon tax: 300NTD/tCO₂ₑ Renewable energy cost: 6NTD/kWh	Faraday's future carbon emissions may continuously rise due to business expansion, under the trend of increasingly strict net-zero, need to import aggressive strategy and target for carbon reduction (including carbo reduction for business operations and low-carbon product development), to reduce the material financial impact from climate risk.
Transition risk	SSP1-1.9	Referring to “IPCC Sixth Assessment Report”, the allowed emissions of SSP1-1.9 will meet net zero by 2055.	Carbon tax: SSP1-1.9 worldwide Renewable energy cost: 6NTD/kWh
Physical risk	SSP1-8.5	Referring to the SSP5-8.5 scenario in “IPCC Sixth Assessment Report”, the global carbon emissions will be doubled by 2050.	Flood: Climate change disaster risk system Mudslide/Landslide: National Science & Technology Center for Disaster Reduction	The location of Faraday headquarters is not directly located at the site of disaster potentials, the occurrence possibility of the flood, mudslide or landslide is extremely low.

Identification of Risks and Opportunities, Financial Impact Analysis

Referring to the TCFD and TNFD frameworks, Faraday integrates the risk and opportunity assessment into a single workflow to ensure comprehensive consideration of environmental financial impacts. Once risks and opportunities are identified, we will conduct an overall review to establish a robust management framework and develop appropriate response measures for effectively safeguarding the corporate's long-term value.

Greenhouse Gas Inventory

Faraday adopts the operational control approach to conduct the greenhouse gas emissions inventory for Scope 1 and Scope 2 at the Hsinchu headquarters and the Taipei and Tainan offices. Scope 2 emissions were identified as the primary source, accounting for over 90% of total emissions.

Energy Management

Faraday adopts a systematic mechanism to record electricity usage and identify key energy consumption hotspots regularly through power analysis tools. Annual projects are implemented to enhance energy efficiency and promote energy-saving and carbon reduction. Renewable energy is also applied to minimize environmental impacts. In 2022, the first phase of solar panel installation was completed at the Hsinchu headquarters, with the second phase scheduled for 2024.

Procurement of Externally Supplied Green Electricity

Starting from 2024, Faraday has signed green electricity transfer agreements with power retailers to gradually increase the procurement of green electricity each year. The company continuously monitors its operational status, forecasts future electricity demand, and regularly reviews the procurement volume to ensure it is sufficient to achieve the established carbon reduction and green electricity usage targets.
