Sustainability Taxonomies
Taiwan Mobile evaluates whether our economic activities are
sustainability-taxonomy-aligned or -eligible. Such evaluation was based on the definitions
of 13 forward-looking economic activities and measurement methods outlined in Taiwan's
"Reference Guidelines for Determining Sustainable Economic Activities", which was announced
in December 2022 . The Guidelines were the adaptation results of the European Union
Taxonomy. Taiwan Mobile has voluntarily mapped our activities’ alignments and eligibility.
- We implement our sustainability taxonomy assessment with 4 Stages：
- We conduct an inventory of all sustainability-related economic activities through
cross-departmental workshops for mapping activities that have substantial relevance
to the definition provided in the "Reference Guidelines for Determining Sustainable
Economic Activities".
- We identify which forward-looking economic activity category (out of the 13
categories outlined in Taiwan's "Reference Guidelines for Determining Sustainable
Economic Activities") each economic activity belongs to, based on relevance.
Furthermore, we clarify the details of the identified economic activities with the
relevant units to confirm applicability and compliance. Includes 7 major categories
of economic activities, classified as sustainable taxonomy-eligible：
- Establishment of renewable energy: Construct a
self-generated and self-used
wind and solar power site. Procuring solar and wind renewable energy

infrastructure
construction: TWM collaborates with Academia Sinica on
decarbonizing
hydrogen fuel research and supports new energy technology development to
combat global warming.
- Manufacturing of high-efficiency equipment and application of
high-efficiency technologies: Introducing high-efficiency
