Stakeholder Engagement and Major Topics
Through the Sustainability Development Promotion Taskforce, we have defined the stakeholder groups that influence or are influenced by us in three dimensions: economic, environmental, and social. In accordance with the GRI Standards "Principles for Defining the Content of Reports", and with reference to the five principles of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagements Standard (AA1000 SES): Dependency, Responsibility, Tension, Influence, and Diverse perspective, and the actual operation situation of the company, we identified eight stakeholder groups related to Novatech, including: employees, shareholders, investors, government agencies, and customers. The eight stakeholder groups are: employees, shareholders and investors, government institutions, customers, suppliers, neighboring communities, public welfare organizations, and media.
Major Topics Identification
In order to build the company's sustainable DNA,strengthen the company's corporate social responsibility competitiveness, and understand the degree of stakeholder interest in Novatech's sustainability issues, we follow the GRI General Guidelines 2021 and the guidelines of AA1000 SES, and identify the sustainability issues with high stakeholder relationships through the following four steps (identification, sequencing, execution, and communication),
analyze their possible positive and negative impacts, and investigate and analyze the probability and impact of shocks to identify the company's major sustainability topics. In 2022, we collected and screened 19 of the key sustainability topics. Compared with the domestic engineering industry's
concern for the economy, environment and society, we analyzed, sorted and merged them with the distribution of questionnaires to identify 12 major sustainability topics. As the basis for the compilation and disclosure of this sustainability report, the screening steps are as follows:

Internal and External Impact Boundaries
In 2022, we have identified 12 major topics in the areas of governance, society, and the environment, and we are working to improve our sustainable governance by revealing and tracking the sustainable performance of these themes according to the level of stakeholder interest and impact. In addition, this year, we took the initiative to refer to the Electromechanical and Engineering Services Industry Standards of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) to disclose the performance of sustainable issues of concern to Novatech industry stakeholders to improve our sustainable governance.
