Following the vision and roadmap for sustainable development, E Ink Holdings established the Board-level Sustainability Development Committee in 2022 to promote, enhance governance, and supervise the progress and effectiveness of sustainability initiatives. The Sustainability Development Committee, under the Board of Directors, aligns with the Corporate Sustainability Committee at the operational level, overseeing the sustainability efforts of various sub-groups, including Product Sustainability, Green Production, Enterprise Care, Corporate Governance, Sustainable Supply Chain, Social Engagement, and Risk Management. In 2024, the Sustainability Development Committee convened two meetings.
At the operational level, the Corporate Sustainability Committee comprises members from various functional departments and is chaired directly by the Chairman, with the Chief Financial Officer serving as the Executive Committee Chair. The committee has established seven functional sub-groups corresponding to E Ink’s "Sustainable E Ink" framework, namely Product Sustainability, Green Production, Enterprise Care, Corporate Governance, Sustainable Supply Chain, Social Engagement, and Risk Management. Each sub-group is led by a department-level executive. Additionally, a Secretariat and a dedicated Sustainability Management Department have been established to coordinate and drive related initiatives, while a Steering Committee, composed of senior executives, provides necessary guidance and support.
The Corporate Sustainability Committee consists of 40 to 50 members, covering various departments across E Ink’s global sites and offices, including Taiwan, China, the United States, Japan, and South Korea. The functional sub-groups meet monthly to discuss and plan sustainability goals and roadmaps, ensuring execution progress. Quarterly reports are presented to the Chairman, and in accordance with E Ink’s "Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility Code", an annual report is submitted to the Board of Directors.
To strengthen the Board’s oversight of corporate sustainability efforts, a report on sustainability progress was presented to the Board in 2024. The details are as follows:

The board of directors provides valuable advice and guidance to the management team on their reports and strategic objectives based on the Company's situation. The management, in turn, incorporates the board's recommendations into their operational goals and makes timely adjustments. The progress and effectiveness of these initiatives are then reported back to the board to ensure the successful promotion of sustainable development.
