International Initiatives

Lobbying and Trade Associations -Climate Alignment: Climate change is globally issue for all of humanity, Taiwan Mobile continuing to control global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius. TWM will develop climate strategies and move towards achieving net-zero emissions, actively participate in relevant public/associations and advocacy organizations, lobbying activities, climate-related lobbying activities aligned with the global climate agreement, the Paris Agreement and TWM's top management (up to executive-level) is accountable for any public policy engagement. TWM will also leverage the latest IoT technology and AI artificial intelligence to green its own operations and value chain, not only reducing environmental impact but also actively creating a more comfortable and sustainable ecological system.

Review and monitoring process of Lobbying and Trade Associations -Climate Alignment: The scope includes Taiwan Mobile in all jurisdictions. TWM establishes the board-level "ESG Steering Committee", approved by the board of directors in May 2022. The committee is composed of the chairman and all five independent directors. Its operation follows with the "Organizational Regulations of the ESG Steering Committee".; The ESG Steering Committee Review and monitoring public policy engagement, including direct lobbying activities and climate-related direct lobbying activities, and final approved by the Board of Directors. However, TWM never engages in direct lobbying activities and climate-related direct lobbying activities in its public policy participation.

RE100	Lead the Global Renewable Energy Initiative, aims to enhance the adoption of green electricity from the perspective of power demand. Participating companies are required to publicly commit to achieving 100% use of green electricity between 2020 and 2050 and provide annual progress reports on their usage.	Taiwan Mobile advocates for environmental sustainability and commit its IDC cloud data centers to achieve 100% use of green energy by 2030. The company aims to reach 100% renewable energy usage across its entire operations by 2040 and joined the RE100 initiative in March 2022. Taiwan Mobile further made a commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, which was approved by its board of directors in May 2022	RE100 supporting measures that promote the growth of renewable energies, this action on climate change is consistent and strong with the Paris Agreement.

International Initiatives: GeSI (Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative); TWM joined GeSI in 2016 and actedas a board director since 2017 to oversee the Climate Change Committee and participate in the operations of the Industry Responsibility Committee. In June, 2021, GeSI first announced the "Digital With Purpose, DwP) at the European Union Digital Assembly. Taiwan Mobile deeply participated in and responded to DwP with Silver Leve. DwP aims for using digital technology and innovation to turn the present around and build a sustainable future. It also provides enterprise best practice standards and a performance evaluation framework, enabling enterprises to establish and review actual actions, such as business models, product designs, and supply chains.; DwP Global Summit 2023：https://2023.digitalwithpurpose.org/

RE100 (International Renewable Energy Initiative): Taiwan Mobile officially joined RE100 on March 17th, 2022, and committed to use 100% renewable energy by 2040. We set a realistic roadmap to that goal is drawn up by using science-based methods, indicating that 70 % of Taiwan Mobile’s renewable energy need will be met by company-owned generators. It is expected that the percentage of the company’s use of renewables will reach 20% in 2030, 60% in 2035 and finally 100% by 2040.

EV100 (Electric Vehicle 100%): In 2024, TWM announced its approval for membership in EV100, a global initiative committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles. By formulating four pledges and two action plans, the company has emerged as the first member among the three EV100 affiliates in the country to wholeheartedly embrace this vision. Under the “Telco+Tech” strategy, the company is integrating zero-emission initiatives into the mobility market and implementing the “Taiwan Mobility” blueprint to achieve full integration of electric vehicles by 2030, while incentivizing its employees to purchase electric vehicles through subsidy programs. Additionally, Taiwan Mobile will collaborate with industry partners such as USPACE and WeMo to establish the “EV100 ecosystem,” which will involve launching MyCharge charging stations and promoting electric vehicle ride-sharing services to facilitate the transition towards this new paradigm.

ECCT (European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan) and LCI (Low Carbon Initiative): TWM joined ECCT and its LCI in November 2021, in order to communicate with the government and international enterprises, especially in green energy, circular economy and other fields, so as to establish strategic alliances and strengthen cooperation.

SBT (Science Based Targets): As early as 2019, Taiwan Mobile became the first telecommunications company in Taiwan to be certified for SBT WB2°C (well below 2°C) and pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2022. In August 2023, Taiwan Mobile continued to uphold international standards and further strengthened its own requirements, successfully passing the more rigorous SBTi 2050 Net-zero review. Under the context of "limiting global warming to within 1.5°C," Taiwan Mobile has established its short-term goals for 2030, which include a gradual phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles, improved energy efficiency, and active adoption of renewable energy sources. As a result, there has been a significant 42% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and 2 compared to the baseline year. By 2040, Taiwan Mobile aims to achieve a 90% reduction in carbon emissions. In the long term, if necessary, it plans to neutralize the remaining carbon emissions through methods such as carbon offsetting and carbon capture and storage, with the expectation of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures): Taiwan Mobile introduced the TCFD architecture in synchronization with CDP in 2018, and continued rolling examination and respond with climate financial impact. We further released our first "Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures Report" (referred to as TCFD report) in August 2024. Taiwan Mobile became the first company in Asia to approve the SBTi review for a 2050 net zero pathway scenario with a target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

TNFD (Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures): Taiwan Mobile released Taiwan's first TNFD report for the telecommunications industry in August 2024. The report follows the TNFD V1.0 guidelines and uses the LEAP (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) methodology to analyze the industry's nature dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities. The analysis covers 100% of Taiwan Mobile's operational sites, including offices, stores, data centers, and base stations, and extends to 450 global suppliers. Through this TNFD report, Taiwan Mobile explores early warning mechanisms and management practices impacting the telecom service industry and studies sustainable products and green services that can positively benefit nature, setting corresponding indicators and management goals.
