ESG Risk Strategy
In response to the changing global economic environment and the operational impacts caused by sustainability risks, Nuvoton is committed to integrating the entire organization into its scope of risk management.
The company adopts its own risks as management items and introduces best practices for continuous management. In Taiwan, the Sustainable Development Committee is responsible for identifying relevant risks that may impact the company’s sustainable development and devising subsequent strategies to realize the vision of sustainable development. This approach aligns with the key concerns of stakeholders and international trends. The risk management process involves identifying, assessing, responding to, and tracking risks based on the company’s core business and external environmental conditions, covering economic, environmental, and social aspects of sustainability.
In Japan, the Risk Management Promotion Committee has been established, chaired by the President of Nuvoton Japan. This committee is responsible for establishing, operating, and continuously improving the risk management system of Nuvoton Japan. It conducts company-wide risk assessments annually, selects major risks for the year, formulates response plans, and reports the status of their implementation to the management team quarterly.
