Message from the Chairmant

Distinguished shareholders, partners, and to all who follow WCON's sustainability journey:

Greetings to you all!

I am deeply honored to present the 2025 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report of WCON to you. The Report not only serves as a comprehensive summary of our deepened ESG practices over the past year, but also represents our solemn commitment to steadfastly following the path of sustainable development in the future. On behalf of WCON, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all partners who have given us firm support and trust over the years!

Looking back at 2025, the macro environment was complex and ever-changing, with geopolitical conflicts and industrial chain restructuring posing severe challenges, while the competitive landscape in the manufacturing sector became increasingly fierce. Facing these challenges, we viewed them as opportunities instead. WCON has consistently integrated the ESG concept into our strategic decision-making and deeply embedded it into every aspect of corporate governance, production operations, and business expansion, seeking growth momentum amidst uncertainties and exploring new avenues for value creation in a changing world.

Governance as the Foundation, Building a Solid Compliance Base.

We are deeply aware that robust governance is the cornerstone of a company's stable and long-term development. WCON continuously improves its corporate governance structure, embedding risk control and compliance supervision throughout the entire business operation chain. Through regular anti-commercial bribery and anti-corruption training, we have established a comprehensive commercial ethics supervision system covering the entire process. The Company's Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee coordinates ESG strategies and medium-to-long-term corporate strategic planning, ensuring that every responsibility is effectively implemented. Meanwhile, we adhere to the principle of transparency in information disclosure, comprehensively, promptly, and accurately communicating corporate governance dynamics to safeguard the right to information and supervision of all stakeholders, thereby safeguarding the Company's long-term development.

Innovation-Driven Growth, Reshaping the Value Chain.

WCON has always regarded technological innovation as its core driving force, attaching great importance to R&D innovation governance. We have formed an R&D model centered on product R&D and mold development, supported by advanced manufacturing techniques such as precision stamping and injection molding.

We extend our innovation standards to the entire value chain, establishing not only stringent quality supervision and product traceability mechanisms but also incorporating sustainable development requirements into supplier admission and audit standards. We are committed to collaborating with upstream and downstream partners to jointly create a responsible, traceable, and resilient green value chain.

Green Intelligent Manufacturing, Co-creating Net-zero Carbon Factories.

We integrate green concepts into our production and operations, viewing energy conservation and emission reduction as crucial pathways to value creation. Through precise monitoring and analysis of energy consumption, we continuously optimize our energy structure and strengthen pollution prevention and control. Guided by low-carbon goals, the Company systematically promotes energy-saving renovations, deploys intelligent energy storage systems and high-efficiency chilled water storage projects, and breaks down low-carbon goals into measurable, controllable, and supervised routine practices. During the reporting period, WCON was awarded the "Net-zero Carbon Factory (Three-Star)" certification, which is both recognition and a new starting point. We will take this as a benchmark to transform certification achievements into long-term momentum for sustainable operations, achieving synergy between ecological benefits and production efficiency.

Humanistic Cohesion, Shouldering Social Responsibilities Together.

A company's development is inseparable from the efforts of its employees or the support of society. We adhere to the guidance of Party building, closely integrating corporate development with social responsibilities. In addressing public concerns, we organize voluntary blood donations and support community construction; in times of social need, we have promptly responded to assist in the Hong Kong disaster relief; and in the journey of rural revitalization, we take practical actions to support agricultural assistance. Meanwhile, we deeply recognize that employees are the Company's most valuable asset. We are committed to creating a warm, secure, and promising work environment. Through diverse welfare benefits and incentive mechanisms, we achieve emotional cohesion and outcome sharing, ensuring that employee care is heartfelt, rights protection is robust, and growth empowerment is profound.

Looking ahead to 2026, we will embrace the winds and forge ahead together. A new wave of technological advancements is surging, and the dimensions of market competition are comprehensively upgrading. This is not only a challenging period facing pressure but also an opportunity period to ride the momentum. Looking to the future, we are increasingly convinced that the path of sustainable development is not a solitary journey but a collective one. It requires us to join hands with employees, stand shoulder to shoulder with partners, benefit society together, and resonate with

the times, so that we may truly say: " With the sky as our only limit and no peak too high to climb, we strive to be the pinnacle of our industry."

Here, we sincerely invite partners from all sides to join WCON on the path of deepening our core business and bravely shouldering social responsibilities, working together in unity towards a long-term future, and jointly writing a new chapter of sustainable development that is mutually beneficial, win-win, and full of warmth!

Sustainable Development Governance Structure

The Company has established a Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee under its Board of Directors and constructed a three-tier ESG management structure consisting of the "decision-making level - planning level - implementation level"; fully leveraging the advantages of each level. Through strategic decision-making by the Board of Directors, overall planning and management supervision by the Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee, and implementation of specific tasks by the ESG Task Force and various departments, the Company has formed a management system with a complete structure, clear hierarchies, and well-defined responsibilities, ensuring more standardized and orderly sustainable development management.

img-22.jpeg

  • The leading and decision-making body for ESG initiatives, which oversees the decision-making of the Company's ESG strategy and action plans.
  • The research and guidance body for ESG initiatives, which conducts research, analysis, and assessment on the Company's ESG matters (such as climate change, environmental management, and business ethics), regularly reviews the Company's ESG strategies, policies, risks, target performance, etc., and examines the annual ESG report.
  • The implementation, administration and coordination body for ESG initiatives, which are composed of department heads and ESG liaisons from the Company and its subsidiaries, which is responsible for providing assurance and professional support to fulfill work related to strategy and sustainable development, with the Company's Securities Department serving as the lead unit.
  • The specific executing units for ESG initiatives, which are responsible for promoting and implementing the daily management of ESG matters, including implementation and monitoring, regularly collecting, organizing, and promptly reporting on implementation progress, in accordance with the Company's sustainable development strategies and goals.

To strengthen the implementation of sustainable development strategies and further enhance the Company's influence and management level in the field of sustainable development, the Company has formulated institutional documents such as the Rules of Procedure for the Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee of the Board of Directors, the Sustainable Development Management Manual, and the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Management System. These documents standardize relevant operational processes and fully integrate ESG requirements into the Company's daily operations and management.

Sustainable Development Information Management Mechanism

The Company is gradually establishing a sustainable development information management mechanism that covers multiple key topics, including innovation-driven growth, product and service safety and quality, response to climate change, occupational health and safety, among others, and continuously improving the ESG management indicator repository. Each executing unit regularly collects, organizes, analyzes, and reports relevant information and data. Subsidiaries report on implementation progress in a timely manner on an as-needed basis according to actual circumstances. This enables the Company to promptly grasp the operational status of its sustainable development governance mechanism, ensuring a clear understanding and efficient execution of sustainable development goals within the Company.

Sustainable Development Supervision and Assessment

The Company has established internal and external audit systems for sustainable development. Annual audits are conducted, corresponding improvement tracking plans are developed based on audit reports, and the ESG Task Force is tasked with coordinating and urging responsible units to implement improvement measures until the successful completion of each plan. Meanwhile, the Company plans to gradually break down sustainable development goals into specific indicators and incorporate these relevant indicators into the performance assessment systems of various departments. This will drive responsible departments to implement the ESG concept in their work, comprehensively enhance the Company's coordinated development level in the ESG field, and provide strong support for achieving the Company's long-term stable development goals.

Communications with Stakeholders

The Company places high importance on communication and exchange with stakeholders by conducting a stakeholder identification process based on business operations, and has identified seven core stakeholder groups.

Supplier admission

The Procurement Department of the Company identifies potential suppliers according to the material supply status, supplier evaluation and supplier development plan. After preliminarily determining that the suppliers meet the requirements, the suppliers need to complete the Supplier Capital Information Form, collect supplier information, preliminarily screen suppliers with strong comprehensive capabilities, cooperation commitment, and alignment with the Company's standards, and evaluate the suppliers from three aspects: supply chain reliability, technical expertise, and quality assurance systems.

To ensure the quality and compliance of materials used in automotive products, the Company explicitly prioritizes suppliers certified by IATF 16949, and systematically controls the purchased materials, processes and services to ensure that they fully comply with the current laws and regulations in the receiving country, the country of dispatch, and the country of destination determined by the customer. On this basis, all direct material suppliers are required to sign the following agreements with the Company: Supplier Quality Assurance Agreement, Supplier Material PCN Agreement, and Supplier Environmental Compliance Agreement. These contractual agreements reinforce quality responsibilities and environmental obligations, enabling the Company to continuously build a stable, reliable, and compliant supply chain system.

Supplier assessment

The Company operates a tiered supplier evaluation system, conducting periodic performance assessments for different types of appraisal objects. Assessments focus on four core performance metrics: quality compliance, quality performance, delivery reliability, and collaborative engagement. Based on cumulative evaluation scores, suppliers are classified into four tiers: Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, and Grade D. The Procurement Department aligns sourcing strategies with these ratings.

Grade A 90-100 points, grant prioritized procurement status with discretionary increases in purchase orders and manufacturing allocations.
Grade B 80-89 points, maintain the current order quantity, and the supplier should continue to improve.
Grade C 70-79 points, appropriately reduce purchase volumes or suspend procurement. For certain more serious issues, issue warnings and notify suppliers, requiring them to submit improvement plans within one week. Demand corrective actions for deficiencies and confirm the results of submitted measures. IQC shall conduct stricter inspections on materials from this manufacturer. A supplier rated as Grade C for over three consecutive months will be downgraded to Grade D.
Grade D 60-69 points, the Procurement Department notifies the supplier to attend on-site review meetings or receive technical guidance at its facility. If a supplier is rated as Grade D twice in a row, the Procurement Department will issue an official corrective action notice (CAR); if the supplier fails to improve within the rectification period, the supplier will be disqualified. If a supplier is rated as Grade D for three consecutive months and its production lines are halted due to environmental issues or customer complaints, its business will be terminated, and its qualification as an approved supplier will be cancelled.

Supplier Audit and Evaluation

The Company has set up an audit team composed of relevant personnel from the Quality Management Department, Procurement Department and R&D center, and conducts an annual audit once a year. For unqualified suppliers, a rectification period of four months can be given. After passing the re-review four months later, it can be included in the list of qualified suppliers again. Otherwise, it will be listed in the "Supplier Elimination Plan." Suppliers listed in the "Supplier Elimination Plan" or those without business transactions for two years shall undergo audit and evaluation according to the new supplier admission process to restart their business.

Empower with Digitalization

The Company uses the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system as the information management platform for supplier relationships. The system integrates various functions such as the procurement process, supplier evaluation, and cooperation and collaboration. This platform is used to effectively manage the entire life cycle of suppliers, from screening and admission to transaction cooperation, performance evaluation, and subsequent relationship maintenance, so as to realize transparency of procurement cost, process automation, enhance supply stability, realize information sharing and collaboration, ensure compliance of procurement transactions, and improve the overall quality and cooperation satisfaction of suppliers. At the same time, it can monitor supplier performance and risks in real-time, such as delivery delays, quality problems, etc., issue early warnings and take measures to reduce the risk of supply interruption.

Supplier ESG management

Supplier ESG management is critical for companies to achieve sustainable development goals. To effectively implement ESG practices across supply chains, enterprises adopt a systematic approach encompassing the following measures: formulating clear ESG policies and standards, selecting ESG-compliant suppliers, establishing a regular communication mechanism, providing training and support, setting clear ESG improvement targets and metrics, conducting supervision and audits, and establishing an incentive mechanism. At the same time, the Company maintains a vigilant focus on market dynamics, regulatory updates, and internal growth trajectories.
