Biodiversity Policy
In response to the Global Nature Positive movement and evolving international sustainability frameworks, biodiversity has been formally integrated into core corporate governance. Concurrently, in alignment with the core principles of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), and the Kunming- Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), a Biodiversity Policy has been formulated to comprehensively manage the impacts of the value chain on the natural environment.

Biodiversity Impact Assessment
To further strengthen biodiversity management, WPG Holdings conducted a biodiversity impact assessment for 6 operational locations in Taiwan, including 2 warehouses. The assessment utilized biodiversity hotspot data from the Ecological Green Network provided by the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture, to determine whether any sites are located within biodiversity hotspots. The results indicated that none of the Company’s operational sites are situated within biodiversity hotspots, suggesting that the current scope of operations has a relatively low direct impact on critical ecological environments. Nevertheless, WPG Holdings will continue to monitor the potential ecological impacts of its business activities and incorporate biodiversity considerations into site selection criteria for future construction or expansion projects, in order to minimize environmental disturbance.
