Risk Management
01Risk Management:
The Company upholds the philosophy of sustainable management by identifying and managing internal and external risks, and systematically assessing potential risks and opportunities across various dimensions, including corporate governance, energy and resource management, social inclusion, information security, and research and innovation. We continuously monitor changes in internal and external environments and adopt flexible response measures and contingency strategies to mitigate risks such as financial loss, business interruption, and regulatory non-compliance. At the same time, through our opportunity management mechanism, we regularly review and optimize resource utilization, promote market expansion and technological innovation, enhance brand value, and ensure the Company's stable operations and sustainable development while safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.
02Risk Management Organizational Structure
03Risk Management Process
JET Optoelectronics adopts a systematic and traceable approach to risk and opportunity management. Each year, all departments identify and assess potential risks and opportunities that may arise in the following year and utilize SWOT analysis to help establish the company's overall strategic direction.
To effectively quantify and manage risks, the company has established a "Risk and Opportunity Assessment Form," through which each department evaluates risks based on the formula "Risk Coefficient = Severity × Frequency." The results are categorized into three levels — low, medium, and high. For high-risk items, specific countermeasures are formulated, along with a follow-up review and adjustment mechanism to ensure the continuous effectiveness of control measures.
In addition, the company conducts an annual review of the previous year's risk management objectives to evaluate the effectiveness of risk control and the achievement of each item. For items not yet achieved, departments are required to propose improvement plans and carry out follow-up tracking. The overall risk assessment results and improvement progress are regularly reviewed by the Sustainable Development Committee.
In 2024, a total of 13 risk items and 4 opportunity items were identified, and the estimated risks and countermeasures for the year were disclosed to ensure transparency and traceability of risk management.
04TCFD Climate-related Financial Disclosures
In response to the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) initiative, JET Optoelectronics is committed to improving the transparency of climate issues in corporate governance and operational decision-making. Following the four TCFD disclosure pillars — governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics & targets — the company is progressively building a complete climate risk and opportunity management framework.
I. Governance
The Sustainable Development Committee is the highest climate governance body. In accordance with the "Organizational Regulations of the Sustainable Development Committee," it meets at least twice a year and regularly reports climate-related risks and opportunities to the Board of Directors. The Board oversees the direction of major climate decisions to ensure climate management is integrated into corporate strategy.
II. Strategy
The company assesses the potential impact of climate change on operations, supply chain, and markets, analyzing short-term (1 year), medium-term (2–5 years), and long-term (over 5 years) scenarios, and formulating corresponding mitigation and adaptation strategies to reduce the impact of climate change on business and finances.
III. Risk Management
Climate-related risks are incorporated into the company's overall risk management process. Departments regularly review physical risks (such as extreme weather events) and transition risks (such as carbon tax policies and regulatory changes) through the risk identification and assessment mechanism, and establish countermeasures and tracking mechanisms.
IV. Metrics & Targets
The company continuously inventories and discloses greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and plans to include Scope 3 supply chain emissions in the future. Based on inventory results, carbon reduction targets are set, and energy-saving equipment and renewable energy are progressively introduced to reduce the operational carbon footprint.
05Identification of Climate-related Risks, Opportunities, and Financial Impacts
| Type of Risk / Opportunity | Description of Risk / Opportunity | Potential Impact Timeframe | Financial Impact | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short-term | Medium-term | Long-term | |||
| Physical Risk | [Immediate Risk] Climate change may increase the frequency of extreme weather events (e.g., typhoons, floods, or heavy rainfall), potentially causing production interruptions, supply chain delays, or equipment damage. | ◉ | Increased operating costs due to equipment repair or replacement | ||
| Physical Risk | [Long-term Risk] Rising sea levels or severe weather conditions may lead to asset impairment or unavailability, as well as long-term increases in resource prices, thereby raising operational costs. | ◉ | Asset impairment or unavailability and rising long-term resource prices increase operational costs | ||
| Transition Risk | [Policy and Regulatory Risk] Implementation of carbon fees or higher pricing for greenhouse gas emissions. | ◉ | Increased operating costs from carbon fee payments | ||
| Transition Risk | [Policy and Regulatory Risk] Renewable energy regulations. | ◉ | Higher operating costs from purchasing renewable energy certificates | ||
| Transition Risk | [Policy and Regulatory Risk] Strengthened reporting obligations for emissions. | ◉ | Increased costs due to fines or legal penalties | ||
