Identification of Material Topics
Sustainability topics are periodically updated by GIGABYTE based on international sustainability guidelines and trends, business goals, benchmark enterprises, and material topics in the industry. We identified 27 material topics in 2022 after adjusting the topics “Responsible Production and Consumption” and “Hazardous Substance Management” from the previous year to become “Responsible Production” and “Green Consumption.”

In 2022, we picked out 6 highly material topics for priority in disclosure. The corresponding management policies and initiatives were also disclosed in the report. Appropriate disclosure is also provided for the remaining 15 moderately material topics based on the degree of stakeholder concern and impact on operations. Changes from last year included the downgrading of “Corporate Governance” and ” Risk Management” from highly material to moderately material topics, while “Financial Performance” was upgraded from moderate to highly material.

Material Topics and Impact Boundaries
To help stakeholders understand the impacts of each material topic on the company, the overall value chains, the environment, and society, we elaborate a matrix table to present the direct impacts and indirect impacts each material topic may cause.
[●] Direct Impact: The topic has a direct impact on the Boundary.
[○] Indirect Impact: The topic has an indirect impact on the Boundary or is related to the Boundary because of commercial activities.
