Risk Management

Risk Management Policy and Process

Taiwan Mobile established a risk management policy in 2011, and relevant policies and procedures were disclosed on the official website. The policy was revised for the third time by the board of directors in 2022 as the highest principle for risk management. The Company actively plans risk management policies, the organizational structure and risk management systems; potential risks in the operation of the Company are dealt with on a preventive basis before they occur.

The risk management policy was revised in 2015, and a Risk Management Committee was set up after the approval of the board of directors to reinforce the organization’s risk management mechanism. Records of Risk Management Committee operations are compiled and submitted by the Internal Audit Office to the chairman of the board for approval. Starting from 2021, the status will be reported to the board of directors at least once a year to ensure that all risks are effectively managed.

The Internal Audit Office conducts annual year-end risk assessments, and rates the importance and possibility of each risk, then calculates the risk value according to the results of the rating. The risk value becomes the basis for the following year's audit plan.

In 2021, the audit results did not show any internal control deficiencies and abnormalities. Nevertheless, 80 concrete suggestions for improving operational procedures were proposed as ways to improve the quality of management. The improvements and suggestions are to be tracked on a quarterly basis until they have been completed.

  • With a complete and highly integrated vertical field solution, the enterprise private network can be quickly deployed before the private network spectrum can be released.
Information security 7. Information privacy and security
Technological 1.Personal privacy regulations in Taiwan and around the world are becoming stricter, while public awareness of personal information protection is getting higher. Predictably, the competent authority will strengthen information security (IS) and privacy supervision in the next year.
2.Emerging product and services would potentially increase the possibility of personal information leakage, and such leakage affects customers’ rights and company reputation, resulting in revenue loss. Thus, to provide various high-quality services, it is expected that the scope of innovative services and products will increase in the next 3 to 5 years, which will involve a large amount of PI and privacy processing.
On the rise Personal privacy regulations in Taiwan and around the world are becoming stricter (e.g. expected revised relevant regulation). In recent years, customers’ demands for personal information (PI) protection have increased significantly.
As a result, to establish and improve PI and privacy management, the company must continue to invest various resources and minimize external risks related to IS and privacy-related regulations of competent authorities and customer expectations. If we accidentally leak customers’ PI, we must face
the relevant legal responsibilities, customer compensation, loss of users, administrative penalties, revenue loss, and reputation damage.
In response to the external impact of information security (IS) and privacy, we must 1. build a customer personal information (PI) and privacy protection mechanism; 2. pay attention to international development trends
and regulatory requirements; 3. cooperate with the development of innovative services and products; and 4. continue to optimize related processes involving PI and privacy. We verify the PI and privacy management effectiveness through an impartial third party. We continue compliance the ISO 27001 "Information Security Management System (ISMS)" and the BS 10012 and ISO/IEC29100 privacy framework standards certificates, integrating corporate operating procedures such as promote the IS maintenance plan. We also expand the scope of PI and management and privacy and obtain

  • Identify the products and services with more serious impacts, make an inventory of their supply chain and analyze the impact of COVID-19, identify the weaknesses of the supply chain, and seek alternative solutions, such as: obtaining raw material sources in a decentralized manner, considering multiple suppliers and contractors, to confirm the stability of supply chain.
  • Investigate key suppliers, require them to promote the operation continuity management including COVID-19 issues, and understand the promotion situation through the annual ESG assessment.
  • Conduct carbon inventory and attain better understandings on emission hotspots, which will be the basis of the following actions on supply chain carbon reductions as a response to climate change.
12. Infectious disease pandemic and epidemic
Societal Operational disruption caused by employees infected with COVID-19;infected with COVID-19 of technical talent has led to a decline in the quality of communication services and affected operations.   Infectious disease has different virus variants with increased contagiousness, which leads to an increased risk of infection among employees. In addition to affecting the health status of infected employees, the disease also affects the physical and mental health of employees who have been identified or investigated, causing negative impact on the stability of the company's operations; Such impact is expected to continue for another year. The source of infection comes externally and is highly infectious, so such risk cannot be controlled by the company. Most of our business locations and office buildings are located in large cities where tourists gather, which leads to a higher risk of contracting the disease. we formulate our standard process that is beyond government anti-epidemic measures to prevent infection and to protect the physical and mental health of all employees and customers. 1.Formulate a standard table for the identification of epidemic prevention cases, which is better than government regulations for epidemic identification or investigation, which prevents the risk of infection in stores and offices. 2. According to the business needs of each unit, the rapid COVID test kits are prepared by the company, or the expenses on the kits can be reimbursed after purchase, so that employees can use at ease. 3. Provide Service Leave and encourage employees to be vaccinated to protect themselves and others. 4. Protect critical technical talent workers who are outside the office to maintain communications services. 5. According to the epidemic situation, start the personnel backup plan, work in divided groups and work from home. 6. Sufficient stockpiles of anti-epidemic materials. 7. Formulate a notification management mechanism to prevent and block infection. 8. Real-time reporting of daily M+ messages, tracking and care management of each employee to prevent any possible sources of infection. 9.

Market 13. Alternative and emerging business models     The replacement cycle of Mobile phone is extended. It’s difficult to attract users to transfer higher-rate plans by only offering flagship handsets’ plans. On the decline Due to the high similar offering in mobile phone rate plans among operators, the threshold for users to switch operators will be lowered.
Telecom companies have expanded battlefields by offering a variety of mobile-OTT mixed programs to strengthen the sales numbers.
Therefore, the Company is facing the impact beyond the original competition in the telecommunications industry.
To the competitive situation beyond the telecommunications industry, the Company has launched Disney+ in Taiwan in 2021, which is exclusively cooperation in the telecom market. Besides, the Company has integrated Fubon Group's resources to launch the "momobile" and "momo plus" rate plans. Using these unique plans to escalate the competitive advantages of TWM.
14. Intensified Competition
Economic 1.Due to over-saturated market, small companies are seeking to merge with the big players. The competition between three major players will transition to diversified innovative services and
the vertical integration of business applications in the next 3 to 5 years.
2.Telecom companies have invested in the broadband network market. Through cooperation with broadband operators, telcos aim to build networks to improve network stability and deploy the smarter home market, leading to the escalation in the competition of Taiwan Mobile’s “Double Play plans”.
On the rise The merger of Taiwan Mobile and Taiwan Star, internal risks include,
1. The willingness of the monthly-fee payment is different between the two companies, how to manage the demand and avoid the loss in the number of users to reduce revenue and financial impact is crucial.
2. The challenges and the cost impact on integrating the two operating systems and network.
The External risk is to stimulate the consolidation of telecom companies and accelerate the coming of the “ New Three Kingdoms” era.
Telecom companies seeks to cooperate with broadband ISP operators to replicate the model of “Double Play Plans”, which may erode the sales and revenue of TWM “Double Play Plans”.
For the price-sensitive users of Taiwan Star, the Company has launched exclusive "momobile", “momo plus", ”Just Kids” plans to reduce the impact of consolidation.
The Company has launched diversified value-added services such as Disney+, GeForce NOW cloud games for facing the coming of the “ New Three Kingdoms” era.

We implement multifaceted training and development activities in order to develop employees with skills they need to improve job performance and lead to greater productivity and increase company competitiveness.
  • Technical supervisors map out required skills and licenses by assessing future trends. Supervisors evaluate employees on skills/licenses and tailor training programs accordingly.
  • Employees will collaborate with supervisors to create their own individual development plans in accordance with feedback from multifaceted appraisal system and career plans. This helps employees acquire knowledge and skills they need at work or for their next role within the organization.
  • The company initiates "Work Club" scheme to encourage cross departmental collaboration. Employees from different departments can work on projects together, learn new things from each other, which contributes to their overall personal and professional development.
  • We develop professional skills employees need to engage in innovative services, expand their breadth of knowledge. Upskilling can give employees at all levels the skills to fulfill company's transformation
Innovation management 19. Innovation kinetic energy growth
 
  • If the innovative applications fail to create customer value, it will affect customer adoption willingness and fail to increase customer numbers and revenue.
Remaining stable
  • If the innovative applications cannot create enough customers and bring enough revenue, it will have two effects. First, they cannot attract highly competitive partners. Second, they cannot continue the iteration of applications and services, which will affect the growth momentum, and thus cannot increase revenue.
  • In consumer business, home business and enterprise business, we will actively look for innovative applications and partners with competitiveness and influence to jointly create customer value.
20. Responsiveness to the trend of innovation  
  • If we fail to grasp the trend of innovation leads to delay in the preparation of innovative services, we will miss the opportunity to launch services and enter the market in advance.
Remaining stable
  • If we cannot prepare well in advance, we will not get competitive partners, key customers or application fields. Then our competitors may take the lead, and make Taiwan Mobile miss the potential opportunity so as not to catch the future growth.
  • Following the trends of consumer and enterprise management in the post-epidemic era, we can develop forward-looking innovative applications through strategic alliances or cross-industry cooperation, across the consumer, home and enterprise business units.
