Sustainability Taxonomies
Taiwan Mobile evaluates whether our economic activities are
sustainability-taxonomy-aligned or -eligible. Such evaluation was based on the definitions
of 14 Enabling Activities and measurement methods outlined in “Taiwan Sustainable Economic
Activity Recognition Guidelines 2.0", which was announced in December 2024 . The Guidelines
were the adaptation results of the European Union Taxonomy. Taiwan Mobile has voluntarily
mapped our activities’ alignments and eligibility.
In accordance with the release of the updated Guidelines, Taiwan Mobile has also
recalculated and disclosed our 2023 results based on the “Taiwan Sustainable Economic
Activity Recognition Guidelines 2.0”, in order to ensure year-on-year comparability.
As the current Guidelines do not specifically cover the telecommunications and
technology sector, their applicability to Taiwan Mobile’s business activities is limited.
Consequently, the taxonomy-eligible portion reflected in our disclosures may appear
relatively modest compared with sectors directly addressed by the Guidelines. Nevertheless,
Taiwan Mobile continues to undertake this voluntary assessment to enhance transparency and
alignment with international practices. We will also continue to monitor potential future
guidelines specific to the telecom sector and reflect them in our disclosures when
available.
- 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 “Taiwan Sustainable Economic Activity Recognition
Guidelines 2.0".
- We identify which Enabling economic activity category (out of the 14 categories
outlined in “Taiwan Sustainable Economic Activity Recognition Guidelines 2.0") 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 4 major categories of economic activities,
classified as sustainable taxonomy-eligible:
- Renewable energy generation, installations and related
equipment: Activities that enable the generation of energy from
renewable sources, including the construction, operation, and maintenance of
facilities and the manufacture of related equipment.
- Manufacture of energy-efficient equipment and technologies:
Manufacture or installation of equipment and solutions that significantly
improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in end-use
applications.
- Engineering, equipment and consulting services for climate change
adaptation:
Design, implementation and advisory services for infrastructure and
solutions that increase resilience to physical climate risks (e.g.,
flooding, heatwaves, water scarcity).
- Other low-carbon and circular economy technologies:
Deployment of third-party certified technologies that significantly reduce
GHG emissions compared to alternatives, including waste minimization and
material substitution.
- Confirm whether the activity meets the condition of "not causing significant harm to
other environmental objectives and social safeguards.”, classified as sustainable
taxonomy-aligned.
- Taiwan Mobile is classified as sustainable taxonomy- aligned as the following table:

- *Note
Taiwan Mobile has disclosed its sustainability
taxonomy since 2022. The FY2022 data were calculated in accordance with the
taxonomy standards in effect at that time. To ensure consistency and
comparability, and to avoid significant year-on-year discrepancies that might
cause misunderstanding, the Company re-calculated its FY2023 and FY2024 data
based on the more stringent guidelines issued by the Financial Supervisory
Commission at the end of 2024.
