ESG Strategy
Begin with The End in Mind,
Execute the ESG Strategy.
The ESG strategy is unified in the corporate strategy.
The ESG strategy of GigaDevice consists of ESG vision, ESG key issues, ESG goals and the goal-time path, forming a complete ESG strategy roadmap. We've established three-level ESG management structure, three ESG management mechanisms, and three-year ESG improvement action path, which guarantees that our ESG strategy is well suited for the entire organization and can be implemented successfully.
The ESG vision, unified in the framework of the corporate vision, is an extension and expansion of the corporate vision in the ESG field.
ESG Vision
Seek Long-lasting Development, Tech for Good
ESG Key Issues
We identify and screen ESG key issues that affect our operation, serving as goals and foundations for corporate sustainable management. We also integrate the identified ESG key issues into the corporate philosophy, and redefine the ESG key issues with the corporate culture.
Initials (S, T, I, L, L) of the five cultural connotation words of the five key issues are "Still" and form the STILL framework of the ESG strategy. The word "Still" suggests perseverance, denoting that no matter how the environment changes, we will always remain true to our original aspiration, and adhere to the vision of "Seek Long-lasting Development, Tech for Good".
