Fostering Engineering Talents

CTCI actively invests in education and talent development. Beyond strengthening employee capability, the company connects with the academia and industry through knowledge-sharing and industry-academia collaboration. CTCI encourages seasoned professionals to serve as guest lecturers, and offers students plant visit and internship opportunities to help young talent align with industry needs. In terms of talent cultivation, the company has introduced an Engineering Research Project Selection Program to foster academic research and industry-academia partnerships. In 2025, CTCI continued its collaboration with Cheng Shiu University, National Tsing Hua University and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology by investing NT$6.95 million to develop innovative technologies for fields such as industrial pipeline inspection, heat exchanger design, and hydraulic calculations for fire protection piping systems, thereby enhancing engineering efficiency and quality.
　 

Climate-related lobbying and external engagement management system

Climate change is a major global challenge today. CTCI understands the risks posed by climate change and has long supported the goals of the Paris Agreement. It has established a climate policy that states: "All Group companies unanimously agree to and advocate to work with different external organizations to control the increase of the Earth's temperature to within a maximum of two degrees Celsius against the pre-industrial baseline, and strive to pursue a tougher goal of reducing the temperature increase to within 1.5 degrees Celsius, based on the aforementioned standard.” CTCI also supports the climate change-related policies of various countries which are consistent with the Paris Agreement, such as Taiwan's "National Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan" to ensure the balance and efficiency of water supply and demand, as well as the strengthening of integrated national security management; the United States' "Long-Term Strategy of the United States: Pathways to Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050"; and Thailand's "Climate Change Act." The climate lobbying management system has been established to target climate-related lobbying activities. The management scope includes CTCI and global subsidiaries. The system includes two method categories: direct lobbying and trade associations. By supervising and managing the company's lobbying activities and the qualifications of trade associations, CTCI ensures that climate-related public engagement is aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
　

• Direct Lobbying
  • To maintain transparency and neutrality, CTCI mostly expresses its opinion on climate-related policy formulation and law-making through industry associations. When there is a need for direct policy lobbying, CTCI would strictly comply with local lobbying regulations. CTCI’s direct lobbying management system and monitoring process are as follows:
    • 1. The subject of lobby must align with CTCI’s climate policy and the Paris Agreement.
    • 2. The lobby must be evaluated by CTCI’s ESG and Net Zero Committee, and then submitted to the Sustainability and Information Security Committee for approval before proceeding.
    • 3. Subsequently, the Social Section Team of the ESG and Net Zero Committee will track the implementation progress and confirm whether the policies and laws lobbied for are aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, such as climate change adaptation and 2050 net zero emissions. If the lobbying is aligned with goals, it will be approved; otherwise, lobbying ceases. The progress and results of lobbying are reported to the Board of Directors and the Sustainability and Information Security Committee annually.

• Trade Association
  • CTCI actively engages with climate-related trade associations, with an aim to foster consistency between the associations and CTCI on the responses to climate change as well as the positions on net-zero emissions advancement. CTCI’s climate-related trade association management system and monitoring process are as follows:
    • 1. Identify climate-related trade associations: The ESG and Net Zero Committee conducts a year-end survey of global trade associations that CTCI participates as member, then identify the ones whose primary objective is to respond to climate change and the Paris Agreement, or the ones that are vocal about climate change issues, or that they promote, educate people, advocate, or provide policy recommendations on such issues. Such associations are included in the management objects of this program.
    • 2. Review and monitor whether the trade associations’ positions align with the Paris Agreement: The ESG and Net Zero Committee reviews these climate-related trade associations and makes assessment based on their public climate policy positions, such as speeches, advocacy, education, initiatives, and policy recommendations. The committee determines whether the association support and align with the goals of the Paris Agreement, such as supporting net-zero emissions by 2050 and controlling global temperature rise within 2°C. The assessment then categorizes the trade associations into two groups: those with aligned goals and those with misaligned goals.
    • 3. If a trade association is found to be misaligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, CTCI will take corresponding measures, including express opinions to the association, withdraw from the association if there is no improvement within two years, or even boycott the association to express CTCI's emphasis on climate change and ensure actions are consistent and forceful.

In 2025, CTCI did not carry out direct lobbying. It participated in 50 trade associations, nine of them were identified as climate-related trade associations, accounting for 18%, and were included as subjects for climate-related trade association management. After reviewing and monitoring, there were no trade associations with misaligned goals.
