Greetings,
Climate change is currently an issue of high priority. In alignment with the global 2050 Net Zero emissions pathway, the sustainable performance of the construction industry plays an indispensable role. International trends and policy directions are aiming towards near-zero energy buildings. Therefore, when conceptualizing and designing our architectural works, in addition to integrating our original brand philosophy of "Beautiful City, Happy Community," we connect with sustainability goals to become a driving force towards the Net Zero objective.
We published our first Sustainability Report in 2023. We utilized "Sustainable Management" to explain our sustainability framework, strategies, and goals. Furthermore, we detailed the Company's ESG execution status through four chapters: "Sustainable Governance," "Sustainable Architectural Design," "Happy and Healthy Workplace," and "Social Harmony and Co-prosperity." This initiative enables us to comprehensively inventory sustainability risks and periodically review annual sustainability performance. It serves as a foundation for adjusting strategies and action goals, while allowing stakeholders to better understand the Company's efforts in sustainability.
The Company has been deeply rooted in Taichung for thirty-two years since its establishment. Under the leadership of Founder and Chairman Wu, Hsi-Kun, we have built a robust and responsible corporate culture and financial foundation. The Company has set different goals at various stages, with humanistic thinking and social care as core values, lighting up the city with conscientious construction and building happy communities with warmth. In the future, the Company will continue to drive transformation, promote substantive sustainable actions, and combine existing lifestyle aesthetics with a sustainable environment, aiming to create a beautiful city.

Environment and Safety
Work Environment and Personal Safety Protection Measures
Creating a safe work environment and fostering a correct work attitude are crucial links in maintaining the safety of construction personnel and building quality. "To foster a sense of honor among workers regarding their work, we have an obligation to first provide them with a relatively comfortable work environment; this is also a form of respect." At every Fuhua Innovation construction site, in addition to basic insurance, we provide additional construction site insurance for on-site personnel, insisting on the highest standards for site safety maintenance.
- When investing in construction projects, the Company strictly requires contractors and their subcontractors to comply with all regulations regarding labor laws, such as the "Occupational Safety and Health Act" and the "Labor Standards Act." They must also possess relevant license qualifications and pass professional training during operations.

In 2023, it passed the ISO45001 and TOSHMS (CNS45001) Occupational Health and Safety Management System verification (valid from 2023/10/11 to 2026/10/11). This fully exerts safety and health self-management functions, effectively controls occupational disaster risks, enhances occupational safety and health management performance, and achieves the dual standards of protecting labor safety and health while promoting competitiveness.
