Identify Material Topic
In 2024, Auden Technology introduced a sustainability materiality analysis process, comprehensively considering key industry trends, GRI sustainability reporting standards, past corporate management experience, as well as international disclosure frameworks such as TCFD and SASB, to serve as the basis for topic identification and prioritization. First, the sustainability team compiled potential sustainability issues, and the Sustainability Development and Risk Management Office held meetings to discuss and evaluate the substantive impact of each issue on the company’s sustainable operations, initially screening 22 potential material topics.
Subsequently, a questionnaire was sent to internal and external stakeholders for voting. Based on the responses, 12 representative material topics were summarized as the focus for this year’s sustainability report disclosure. The material topics include: innovative products and technologies, information security, customer service, integrity management, economic performance, sustainable supply chain, low-carbon products, energy saving and carbon reduction, labormanagement communication, compensation and benefits, human rights policies, and talent development, serving as the basis for future sustainability management and performance disclosure.
