Identification Procedure for Material Topics
D-Link continues to monitor domestic and international sustainable development trends, collecting sustainability issues of concern to stakeholders, and identifying key stakeholders in accordance with the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (AA1000 SES). The Company also identifies material topics in accordance with the 2021 version of the GRI Universal Standard, carefully assessing the significance of each sustainability issue’s impact on economic, environmental, social, and human rights aspects. This serves as the foundation for disclosing information in the annual sustainability report and forms the basis for planning the sustainable development strategy.
Identification Results in 2024
Considering the maturity and stability of the industry, and continuously tracking and disclosing the progress of short, medium, and long-term goals for material topics to facilitate effective management, D-Link has determined that the frequency for re-analysis of key stakeholders and material topics identification will be once every two years. The latest reanalysis was conducted in early 2023. For detailed results, please refer to the Company’s “2022 Sustainability Report.” The next operation will be in 2025, and the analysis results will be disclosed in the “2024 Sustainability Report.”
Meanwhile, D-Link continues to monitor sustainable development trends and continuously evaluates the impact of each topic to make necessary adjustments in a timely manner. Adjustments to the material topics this year include adding “Talent Selection, Recruitment, and Retention,” “Climate Change Response Actions,” and “Social Engagement,” while removing “Corporate Image.” In response to these changes, we asked members of the ESG Taskforce, through a questionnaire, to reassess the severity and likelihood of occurrence of 13 material topics, as well as the degree of stakeholder concern for sorting. These assessments form the basis for the pillars to be reported in the report.
