Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

Climate change not only threatens humanity and ecological environments but also poses direct or indirect impacts on corporate operations. Inventec proactively discloses climaterelated information in line with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidelines. The Company also reviews its governance, strategy, risk management and key metrics annually to strengthen climate change management and enhance its capability to control climate risks, with the aim of improving the eectiveness of its business decision making.

Category	Inventec’s Actions
Governance	The Board of Directors serves as the highest supervisory body for climate governance at Inventec. Under Sustainability Committee, the Sustainable Environment Functional Team led by senior executives has been established to focus on climate change, risk management and environmental sustainability issues. This team integrates resources to drive cross-department initiatives, communicates with stakeholders, and submits the report of implementation results for the Sustainability Committee’s review at least once a year before presenting to the Board of Directors.
Strategy	Based on the international TCFD framework and the implementation experience of benchmark companies, Inventec, through its Sustainable Environment Team, conducts cross-department discussions and evaluations to identify climate risks and opportunities within its value chain. From both "mitigation" and "adaptation" perspectives, the Company formulates climate performance targets, action plans, and management mechanisms, and regularly discloses management outcomes every year. Inventec, guided by its "2030 Low-Carbon Transition Plan", has outlined clear phased targets, categorized into short-term (2023-2024), med-term (2025-2027), and long-term (2028-2030), to thoroughly identify climate risks and opportunities relevant to its operations. The Company analyzes and assesses the likelihood and impact of climate risks to determine significant risk values. Based on these values, risks are prioritized and categorized into high, medium, and low levels. This process helps determine material climate risks closely related to the Company's operations, which are then integrated into the operational management mechanisms of each unit within the Group to ensure eective risk control and low-carbon transition practices.
Risk Management	Under the Sustainability Committee, a Risk Management Team has been established to incorporate climate issues into the risk management system. This team utilizes the TCFD framework to identify potential climate-related risks and opportunities that may arise under different scenarios. For each identified climate risks and opportunities, the dedicated team formulates corresponding response strategies, which are then publicly released after approval. The team also regularly monitors and evaluates the implementation status to ensure that climate issue management progresses in sync with the Company’s operations. Inventec has followed four steps to Identify and Manage Risks：1) Identify Risks and Opportunities, 2) Assess Value Chain Impact, 3) Determine Materiality, and 4) Manage and Disclose.
Indicators and Targets	Based on the identified risks, Inventec sets up mitigation targets and disclose them to the public. Additionally, Inventec also sets its carbon reduction targets for 2030.

Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for High-risk Issues

Actively cooperate with customers and voluntarily carry out product carbon footprint related activities within the value chain.
Complete various applications for energy efficiency labels, product carbon labels, etc.
Adopt the SBT Science Based Target Reduction Tool to set goals.
Continuously build and implement disaster emergency response measures and business continuity plans (BCP), and work with supply chain partners to reduce the impact.

Scenario Analysis of Transition Risk Arising from Changes in Customer Behavior

Identify Material Climate Risks

"Transition risk - high proportion of renewable energy and process energy saving" due to changes in customer behavior is used as the quantitative assessment and analysis item for potential financial impact.

Adopt Appropriate Scenarios

The assessment includes Inventec's major production sites in Taiwan, Mainland China, Mexico, and the Czech Republic.
Simulations for 2025-2030 are conducted based on the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario, which projects current development trends, and the 2050 net-zero strategy scenario.

Quantify Risk Impact

Evaluate and analyze the process energy saving and renewable energy procurement required by each factory to achieve the 2050 net-zero strategy.
Calculate the cumulative costs of process energy saving and renewable energy procurement by 2050.

Mitigation and Adaptation Actions

Formulate future response plans and action strategies.

Scenario Simulation

Inventec conducted a scenario simulation for "transition risk arising from changes in customer behavior - high proportion of renewable energy and process energy saving" based on the Group's 2050 Scope 1 and 2 net-zero carbon reduction target (with 2020 as the baseline year). Business as Usual (BAU) scenario based on current development trends: Under the assumption of no carbon reduction measures by the Company, two scenario hypotheses were made based on the estimated annual Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions.

Given the high uncertainty surrounding future climate change, Inventec Group will continue to implement relevant energy-saving measures, as well as renewable energy installation and procurement, to reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, we will regularly review the impact of climate-related issues on operations to ensure that we remain vigilant and adaptive to evolving medium- and long-term climate trends.

Scenario Assumption	Scenario simulation results
Self-estimated electricity consumption demand simulation: Carbon emissions were forecast based on each factory's projected future electricity consumption.	Total cumulative cost by 2050 accounts for 0.1% of 2024 revenue.
SSP3-7 pathway electricity consumption demand simulation: Considering the international context, the "SSP3-7 scenario" from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) was used to estimate carbon emissions resulting from future electricity consumption.	Total cumulative cost by 2050 is approximately 0.6% of 2024 revenue.
