(II) In pursuit of sustainable environmental care and harmonious coexistence with all living beings, we have integrated sustainability principles into our product design process through upgrades to production processes, specifications, and technologies, along with software energy management, to fulfill our commitment to environmental responsibility. In the design stage for chip circuit, a lower supply voltage is used to reduce chip power consumption, and customized design is used to assist customers in meeting industry standard requirements (e.g. California energy regulations) and compliance with industry power-saving design standards (e.g. Microsoft Modern Standby). Furthermore, the Company has obtained ISO 14001 certification in 2023 and ISO 14064-1 certification in 2024, hoping to achieve the goal of green design through optimization of product manufacturing processes.
