Given the fact that the Company is an e-commerce services company, the four aspects under the Environmental Area, namely Emissions, Use of Resources, the Environment and Natural Resources and Climate Change are not considered material enough which need to be disclosed in accordance with the ESG Guide. The respective reasons are as follows: Emissions – the Company’s operation is not involved in air and greenhouse gas emissions, discharges into water and land, and generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in significant quantities. There are no relevant laws and regulations that have significant impact on the Company regarding Emissions. Use of Resources – the Company’s operation is not involved in direct and/or indirect energy consumption (e.g. electricity, water and other raw materials) and water consumption in significant quantities. In addition, the Company’s operation is not involved in packaging materials used for finished products as the Company does not deliver tangible products. Environment and Natural Resources – the Company considers its business nature and operation having no significant impact on environment and natural resources. Climate Change – the Company is aware of significant climate-related issues such as high temperature, typhoon, flooding, wildfire or other extreme weathers. As mentioned above, our Company’s operation is not involved in air and greenhouse gas emissions and therefore we do not consider climate change material enough to be disclosed herein. Nevertheless, the Company has already adopted a systematic approach to include management and monitoring of climate risks in our risk management process. Also, we have implemented several environmental policies to run our business in a responsible manner and those actions are listed out under the heading “Environmental” in this report. At the same time, we have devised policy on staff work arrangements under adverse weather conditions so that possible impacts on the Company’s operations can be mitigated and our staff safety can be protected in case of adverse weather conditions during work days. Anyhow, the Company understands the importance of environmental protection and undoubtedly supports it. In this regard, the Company constantly reminds our staff to protect the environment and use energy and resources effectively and efficiently by issuing policies and guidelines on the related subjects. In this ESG Report, we would voluntarily disclose the policies and practices which have been adopted by the Company with a view to conserving the environment.
