Enterprise Risk Management Operation Mechanism/ Procedure

For above areas, evaluates the possibility of their occurrence and the severity of their impact on the company (the impact assessment includes finance, operations, personnel, and company reputation), draws a risk map, and defines the priority order and risk level of risk items. After balancing reasonable risks and preventive costs that the enterprise can sustain, the risk management plans are drawn up and adopted. The committee periodically reviews possibility and severity of risks for changes over time to monitor the effectiveness of risk management plans and related control operations. At the same time, we also grasp the opportunities that may accompany risks.

 

 

 

 

Key Risks Identification and Countermeasures

UMC targets strategic, operational, financial, and hazard risk areas, identifies key risks and formulates countermeasures, including environment, social, corporate governance and emerging global risks related to the company's operations.

Operating Situation:

The company has actively promoted and implemented the risk management mechanism since 2018, and began reporting its operations to the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors at least once a year in 2020.

 

  • The Enterprise Risk Management Committee submitted the company’s risk management policies, mechanism/ procedures, scope, and organizational structure in the company's enterprise risk management manual to the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors, and received approval on February 26, 2020. Since 2021, it has reported risk management relevant affairs to the ESG Steering Committee on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Committee developed the "Enterprise Risk Management Manual" standards in 2020 as the guideline for all employees to implement risk management.
  • On October 26, 2022, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee submitted its report on major risks related to strategy, operations, finances, and hazards; countermeasures; and results of risk management implementation. The report also took into account environmental, social, and corporate governance risks. Approval was obtained from the Nominating Committee and Board of Directors through the ESG Steering Committee. Aside from geopolitical risks, which are subject to relatively uncontrollable external factors, all other major risks in the near term can be controlled to medium and low risks levels. The Company’s operations and investments have not been significantly impacted, and developments related to identified risks will continue to be monitored.
  • In the second half of 2022, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee conducted a training course for middle- and lower-level managers on risk management to strengthen risk perception sensitivity and management techniques.
