In order to understand the impact of sustainability issues on stakeholders, including their financial impact, as well as to review the sustainable management results, the following five steps of the Company are used to communicate with stakeholders and identify material topics, and to conduct financial impact assessments on the three major topics identified (information security, customer relations, and legal compliance), as well as the issue of climate action:
| Identification of stakeholders | In accordance with the five principles of Influence, Tension, Responsibility, Dependency and Diverse Perspectives defined by the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (AA1000 SES), a questionnaire was distributed in 2023 to identify the seven key stakeholders: Customers, Employees and Unions, Government/Competent Authorities and Industry Associations, Shareholders and Investors, Suppliers, Communities/Schools and Non-profit Organizations, and Media. Considering that there was no significant change in the category of stakeholders, the 2023 questionnaire of employees were used in 2024. |
|---|---|
| Gathering of sustainability topics | With reference to international sustainability standards such as GRI and TCFD, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Company’s goals and vision, industry characteristics, material topics of Mega Holdings and benchmarking companies, sustainable development trends, and stakeholder concerns, each topic was discussed and assessed by the organizing unit of the “Sustainable Development Committee.” A total of 21 sustainability topics were compiled after consulting with external consultants. |
| Assess impact |
The Sustainable Development Committee of Mega Securities, the heads of various
executive teams, branch managers, ESG-related executive employees, and the
ESG-related employees of the subsidiaries Mega Futures, and Mega International
Investment Services completed a sustainability issue impact assessment survey,
focusing on the probability of positive and negative impacts of various
sustainability topics on the economy, environment, and society, as well as the
level of financial impact. 104 and 96 valid questionnaires were recovered,
respectively.

In order to fulfill corporate social responsibility and demonstrate the importance of stakeholder communication, the Company has established transparent and smooth communication channels with stakeholders. We include stakeholders’ opinions in the Company’s management policies and operating activities to achieve the goal of sustainable management. We have defined major stakeholders according to the five major principles of AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (responsibility, influence, tension, diverse perspectives, and dependency). Considering that there has been little change in the types of stakeholders valued by the Company’s employees, we continued to determine the types of stakeholders as identified in the 2023 employee questionnaire in 2024. We have identified seven types of stakeholders: Customers, Employees and Unions, Government/Competent Authorities and Industry Associations, Shareholders and Investors, Suppliers, Communities/Schools and Non-profit Organizations, and Media. Mega Securities used a variety of communication channels such as our corporate website, questionnaire surveys, press releases, and in-house/Group seminars as well as this Report to understand and respond to the needs of our stakeholders. Sustained communication and engagement was utilized to create mutual benefits and trust.
