Evolution of Sustainable Governance

SEEC has been committed to the principles of sustainable business operations, guided by values of integrity, steady growth, and sustainable development. In November 2015, the Company established the "Corporate Social Responsibility Committee" and subsequently endorsed the "Corporate Social Responsibility Code of Practice" through board deliberations, initiating our commitment to corporate social responsibility. In June 2017, the Company formulated the "SEEC Corporate Social Responsibility Committee Organizational Charter" to ensure the implementation of corporate social responsibility policies.In May 2022, in accordance with the Taiwan Stock Exchange's announcement amending the "Corporate Sustainability Best Practice Principles for Listed and OTC Companies," the Company renamed the  "Corporate Social Responsibility Committee" to the "Sustainable Development Committee," and concurrently adjusted related regulations accordingly.

In March 2023, the Company presented the "Procedures for Compiling and Submitting Sustainability Reports" and related internal control systems to the board of directors to ensure the effective implementation of the sustainability efforts. By May of the same year, the "Sustainable Development Committee" was formally established as a functional committee, authorized by the board under the Sustainability Department, with the appointment of a dedicated Chief Sustainability Officer. This step enhances the promotion and execution of sustainability policies, striving to fulfill corporate social responsibility.
