Assessment of risks or opportunities to the community
Community participation and social welfare reflect the Company’s care for society. By actively engaging in charitable activities, contributing to society, and promoting social progress, the Company shapes its social image and achieves inclusion and shared prosperity. The potential and actual impacts are presented as follows.
| Description of Positive Impact | Implemented measures | The renewable energy revenue from public-interest green electricity projects is fully allocated to rural education funds. |
| Potential opportunities | Establishing long-term community care and charitable activities will build good and positive relationships with the public. | |
| Description of Negative Impact | Actual risks | No actual negative impacts have been identified. |
| Potential risks | If supported entities rely solely on long-term corporate sponsorship without establishing sustainable operating models, this may lead to excessive resource dependence or resource concentration in a few entities. Once sponsorship resources are reduced or redistributed, it may cause service interruptions, and disadvantaged groups could suddenly lose support. |
