In 2024, the world experienced unprecedented extreme weather events thatdelivered a shock to nations worldwide. At the same time, global political turmoil and escalating geopolitical tensions introduced new uncertainties to the direction of global sustainable development. Domestically, with the launch of the carbon credit trading platform, the era of carbon trading has officially begun, opening a new chapter for substantive reduction efforts. In response to the forthcoming IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 standards, companies have also begun conducting GHG inventories and improving the quality of sustainability information to ensure adequate preparation. In 2024, in addition to completing its own GHG inventory together with its subsidiary GIGAIPC, Giga Computing also began planning to extend its reduction initiatives to the supply chain, conducting GHG inventories with its supplier partners and gradually achieving the goal of a sustainable supply chain. To maintain a competitive advantage, Giga Computing's Sustainability Promotion Team invited the Company's mid- and senior-level management to jointly assess and review target achievements across all aspects of the company's sustainability practices. Based on international and industry trends, as well as the needs of internal and external stakeholders, we will continuously adjust targets on a rolling basis to ensure steady progress along the path of sustainable development.

Driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, the computing scale and operational workload of data centers have increased rapidly, not only placing tremendous pressure on energy and resources but also exerting a considerable impact on the environment. Against this backdrop, effectively reducing the environmental burden while advancing digitalization and AI has become an important challenge for today's enterprises during the construction of data centers. Giga Computing believes that the circular economy and green products are key strategies for enterprises to stand out in a fiercely competitive market. Therefore, we are actively committed to providing innovative and efficient solutions for data centers and regard sustainable development as the Company's core mission. We focus on developing advanced cooling technologies, such as direct liquid cooling systems and immersion cooling systems. These technologies not only significantly enhance computing performance within limited space but also effectively reduce energy consumption, thereby lowering the environmental burden of energy use while ensuring high-performance computing. In addition, Giga Computing also provides tailored solutions based on the needs of different customers, helping them achieve long-term energy-saving and carbon reduction goals in their business operations while unleashing maximum computing power.

The shift in work patterns and the prevalence of strike movements show that workers are actively participating in and influencing the development of human capital. Coupled with the recent spate of domestic workplace bullying incidents, reforms in workplace culture and labor rights are becoming increasingly urgent, and social issues are gradually coming to the fore under the scrutiny of a wide range of stakeholders. Giga Computing supports international human rights conventions, complies with the regulations of its operating locations, and has established multiple human rights standards as well as diverse labor–management communication and grievance channels to maintain a positive corporate culture and provide employees with a friendly workplace environment. At the same time, to sustain talent competitiveness, the Company has developed a comprehensive training blueprint that integrates technology trends and the Company's future development directions and has designed internal and external training courses to enhance employees' professional knowledge and competencies. Giga Computing has always upheld a people-oriented corporate culture and regards employee well-being and fairness and justice in the workplace as an important cornerstone of long-term development. We believe that only by respecting employees' rights and providing a friendly working environment can each employee's potential be unleashed, thereby achieving the goal of joint growth for the Company and its employees.

 

Giga Computing adopts "Compute for the Future" as its core corporate philosophy and continuously provides diverse, high-quality products and services to customers worldwide. Beyond its efforts to expand business, the Company also continues to uphold the three pillars of sustainable development established in 2023, namely "Innovative Technology," "Circular Economy," and "Diversity and Inclusion." With "Sustainable Governance" as its foundation, it actively promotes the deep cultivation and implementation of sustainable development in all fields. The wave of AI is still burgeoning, and in the face of the challenges posed by rapid technological evolution and a highly uncertain overall environment, we shoulder even greater responsibilities and expectations, looking forward to continuing to receive the unwavering trust of stakeholders in the years ahead, growing together and pursuing excellence. On the path to sustainability, Giga Computing will spare no effort. We sincerely invite all stakeholders to join us in creating sustainable value and embracing a better future together.
