/ Message from Chairman & President and help strengthen the local battery industry supply chain. In addition, trial operations for a pilot production plant for dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) are scheduled to begin in second half of 2025, aiming to drive the upgrading of Taiwan’s polymer industry. In terms of emerging digital technologies, CPC continues to advance the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in areas such as smart industrial safety, equipment anomaly detection, environmental protection, operations management, process optimization, and energy efficiency and carbon reduction. In response to the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ announcement on January 2, 2025, regarding the “Regulations on Setting Energy Conservation Objectives and Execution Plans for Energy Users from 2025 to 2028,” CPC has completed energy audits and implemented improvement measures at its headquarters, as well as at its Taipei and Taoyuan marketing offices. These efforts have since been extended to other facilities, incorporating the Energy Service Company (ESCO) model and third-party technical verification as part of a continuous improvement and circular management framework. Building on its longstanding commitment to environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and sound corporate governance (ESG), CPC received multiple honors at home and abroad in 2024—some setting new records. These included 18 awards at the National Brand Yushan Awards, the highest number the company has received to date, and five major recognitions at the Asia-Pacific Sustainability Action Awards (APSAA). CPC also participated in the 2024 Asia-Pacific Sustainability Expo with the theme “Energy Go! Coexisting with Nature through Energy,” showcasing the tangible outcomes of its sustainability efforts. Looking ahead, global operating conditions remain highly dynamic. Climate change, geopolitical uncertainty, and the ongoing U.S.–China technology rivalry will continue to shape the trajectory of the global economy and energy industry. In addition, a series of tariff increases and new energy policies introduced by President Trump are expected to further intensify volatility in global political and economic conditions, as well as in the energy market. In this context, CPC will continue to strike a balance between strengthening its core operations and advancing long-term transformation. The company remains committed to ensuring a stable and secure energy supply for Taiwan, while actively supporting the government’s net-zero transition roadmap. Through diversified, innovative, and flexible strategies, CPC will adapt its goals and direction in real time to pursue sustainable growth. Chairman President 3
