Philosophy and Goals
In accordance with the five principles of the AA1000SES Stakeholder Engagement Standard, and after internal discussions and reference to the industry's stakeholder identification and engagement methods, six internal and external stakeholder groups were identified, including: employees, customers, investors/shareholders, suppliers/contractors, government/authorities, and society/local communities. To further understand each stakeholder and assess the impact of each sustainability issue, the Company designed questionnaires to be completed by internal and external stakeholder groups, and the results of stakeholder negotiations and impact assessments of significant issues are reviewed by the President and presented to the Board of Directors.

Materiality Analysis |
|
PSMC regularly performs a materiality analysis every year. This year, for the first time, we adopted the “Double Materiality” principle proposed by the European Union to conduct a materiality analysis of sustainability issues, and followed the four-stage materiality assessment process in the new GRI Standards (2021), inviting internal senior management to assess the actual and potential positive and negative impacts of sustainability issues. The statistical analysis method of the questionnaire survey was changed from the previous method of understanding the “level of concern” of the stakeholders to the “level of impact” this year as the principle of evaluation. After a comprehensive assessment of the impacts on “corporate values” as well as on the “economy, environment, people and human rights”, a total of 12 major material topics were identified this year.
