CTI has always maintained a high level of focus on key industry issues, conducting an annual materiality analysis and inviting internal and external stakeholders to identify major issues. In 2024, the Company upgraded to a dual materiality assessment, actively identifying and managing ESG issues that have an impact on both the Company and its stakeholders.
In light of external environmental changes, including the exacerbation of global climate change, advancement of the sustainable development agenda, and increased capital market demands for ESG disclosure, we have updated the Company's materiality assessment framework. This update incorporates the consideration of impact significance, reflecting the Company's economic, environmental, and social impacts across various issues, as well as financial materiality, assessing how these issues affect the Company's long-term financial performance and value creation capabilities through a dual materiality evaluation process.
