Sustainability Vision
Giga Computing integrates its core competencies and, based on its vision of "Compute for the Future", uses "sustainable governance" as the foundation to develop three main sustainable development axes, namely "Innovative Technology", "Circular Economy", and "Diversity and Inclusion". This leads to three strategic areas for Giga Computing, including "Encouraging Innovative Applications", "Responsible Production", and "Demonstrating Humanistic Values". By integrating three strategic areas, we aim to achieve sustainable operations.
Materiality Analysis
To align with the Group's common goals, Giga Computing adopted a sustainability topic list developed by referencing international sustainability standards and trends, company operational goals, benchmark enterprises, and material industry topics from its parent company, GIGABYTE Technology. The Company used the GRI Universal Standards 2021 to identify key stakeholders and gather feedback from internal and external stakeholders to assess the impact of various sustainability topics on Giga Computing. Since there were no significant changes in overall trends or within the Company between 2023 and 2024, Giga Computing continued to apply the material topics identified in 2023 for the year 2024. The Company has conducted a more in-depth review of each topic and set short-, mid-, and long-term targets, and continuously promoted the implementation of related policies to co-create value for both society and the Company.
Ranking of Sustainability Topic Impacts
