Board of Directors

 The nomination and election of the Board of Directors of the Company complies with Code of Practice for Corporate Governance of the Company and adopted candidate nomination system. Besides the assessment of each candidate’s education and experience, the Company takes stakeholders’ opinions into consideration and complies with “Rules for Election of Directors of the Company” and “Corporate Governance Principle” to ensure the diversity and independence of the board members.


Besides the knowledge, skills and literacy are necessary for the performance of the Board of Director, to achieve the idol purpose of the corporate governance, the overall abilities of the Board of Directors should include: 1. operational judgment, 2. financial analysis, 3. operation management, 4. risk management, 5. industrial knowledge, 6. international perspective, 7. leadership, 8. decision-making capacity, etc.


The Board of Director is now composed of 12 Directors, all of them are individuals with specialization and experience in industrial management, including 4 Independent Directors. The goals are to ensure that at least 50% of the directors have experience across 2 or more industries, and that at least 50% possess professional expertise spanning from AI simulation to digital transformation. Currently, 9 of them have multi-industry experience, and 9 of them demonstrate professional capabilities in AI simulation through to digital transformation, indicating that both goals have been fully achieved.


The Company also places great emphasis on gender equality within the members of Board. Currently, there are 10 male directors (83.3%) and 2 female directors (16.7%). Due to the limited availability of female professionals in the petrochemical industry, the proportion of female directors has not yet reached one-third. The Company will continue to seek qualified female professionals from external fields to serve as the director of the Company. In the short term, the Company aims to increase the number of female directors by one, which would result in female representation reaching 25% if the total number of directors is reduced to 12. As a long-term goal, the Company is targeting a total of four female directors, thereby achieving one-third female representation on the Board.
