Considering the Company's industry characteristics and business model, King Yuan Group assigns the Sustainable Development Committee to refer to the five major principles of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (SES 2015): Dependency, Responsibility, Tension, Influence, and Diverse Perspectives to identify groups or organizations that have an impact on or are impacted by King Yuan Group. The Committee has identified seven categories of stakeholders directly related to the Company, including employees, customers, investors, suppliers, contractors, the community, and government agencies.
To understand and respond to stakeholders' concerns, we provide various communication channels for regular meetings and conversations with stakeholders, allowing them to raise their opinions at any time. This helps us understand the ESG issues that different stakeholders care about and provide answers or response strategies. The communication system and concerns of each stakeholder for year 2023 are summarized as follows:

During the reporting period, a total of 26 sustainability issues were identified. We send out questionnaires to senior executives of the Group, members of the Sustainable Development Committee, and external stakeholders to evaluate the positive and negative impacts of various sustainability issues. Internal personnel assess the impact on the Company's operations, while external stakeholders assess the effect on the environment, society, and human rights (people).
In 2023, 354 questionnaires were collected, with 297 valid responses after excluding invalid ones, with 38 internal and 259 external responses. After calculating the positive and negative impact scores for each issue on the Company's internal and external stakeholders, we ranked the total impact scores from highest to lowest (external negative average, internal negative average, internal positive average, external positive average). Then, the Sustainable Development Committee set the "top one-third of the total scores" as the materiality threshold and selected eight major issues for the current period. Additionally, considering that greenhouse gas emissions and supply chain management are also issues that the Group and the semiconductor industry should place more emphasis on, these two issues were included in the management of major issues. Therefore, there are ten major issues for 2023.
