pandemic in the global market, PLANET achieved a revenue of NT$1.43 billion in 2021, the best
operating performance ever. We must thank all our colleagues for their concerted efforts to makethe company grow and our global customers, distributors and suppliers for their strong support.
Meanwhile, PLANET has firmly implemented its CSR culture, always maintained a good
corporate constitution, and constantly improved the performance of its ESG (Environmental,
Social and Governance) practices. PLANET was consecutively ranked in the top 5% of TPExlisted companies in 2020 and 2021 “Corporate Governance Evaluation” in Taiwan. The company

1.1.4 Market Impact and Opportunity
Facing the great challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic in the global market during the past two years, PLANET proactively
innovated its networking and communications equipment and solutions to enhance the global competitiveness and value of its brands.
Meanwhile, the company promptly adjusted its marketing strategies, product mix and business operations in response to the pandemic situation
as well as the changes in the industry, market and technology, which successfully created market differentiation for its products and services
and ensured its normal operation and sustainable development.

【Risks】
Thanks to the popularization of the COVID-19 vaccination in 2021, the global economic vitality gradually recovered. However, business
operations in the international market still face many risks and challenges, including unstable material supply in the supply chain, the sharp
rise in the cost of global raw materials and freightage, information security, geopolitics, climate change and the new trend of net-zero carbon
emissions, etc., which will affect the overall pace of global economic growth in 2022.

【Response Strategies】


PLANET is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic situation and has taken protective measures to protect employee health. We arealso concerned about the business operations of our customers and suppliers, with whom we will jointly carry out pandemic prevention
measures so as to minimize the impact of the pandemic to ensure the continuity of our businesses.



PLANET is proactively strengthening its technological advantage including the upgrading of the remote and cloud management attributesof its networking equipment. We are committed to providing stable and secure networking via telework, telemedicine and videoconferencing, thus enhancing the added value of our products.



PLANET controls the supply of materials wisely by increasing the proportion of alternative materials to ensure the smooth flow of its
production and material supply.



PLANET will adhere to its business philosophy of innovation and sustainable development by enhancing the competitive advantages of
its brand, ensuring steady business operations and creating continuous growth and sustainable value.

【Opportunity】
As the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the application of smart networks and remote network communications, the need for network
infrastructure in the world remains high. PLANET is working actively to maintain the normal supply of its products to the global market. We are
expanding the development of central network management systems, which will provide future IoE applications with networking equipment andsolutions featured with smart and user-friendly administration functions, to seek new market opportunities and generate more profits.
Moreover, PLANET is strengthening its digital brand marketing efforts through highly interactive online platforms such as PLANET’s global
corporate website, PLANET YouTube channel, and PLANET Facebook pages. A variety of methods are used to generate synergy from brandand product promotions. Equipped with the distribution channels in more than 140 countries around the world, we are able to deepen thelocalization of branding and enhance our market position as a professional international brand, thus further expanding our branding andstrengthening our competitiveness.

1.2.2 Identification of Material Topics
The compilation of PLANET’s Sustainability report complies with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. Material Topics are analyzed
by following the process, which consists of four steps, namely Identification, Prioritization, Validation and Review, to validate the scope of
disclosure in the report as well as major internal/external sustainability challenges faced by PLANET. Annual material topics and stakeholders
are reviewed annually by the ESG Committee and adjusted as appropriate.

Step One
Identification

ESG Commitments
and Stakeholders
Engagement

After collecting domestic and foreign issues and regulations on sustainability development and integrating with thecompany's development policies, a list of 19 sustainability development issues have been compiled through thestakeholder engagement channels to provide the scope of material topic identification in the report.

Step Two

Prioritization

Sustainable

Environmental
Sustainability

Sustainable

ReviewPrioritization

Members of PLANET’s Sustainable Development Promotion Team assessed all these issues by "the degree of PLANET’s
environmental, social and governance impacts on the entire society" and "the degree of influence over stakeholders'assessment and decision-making processes". The degree of influence and impact of individual issues were measured
and quantified to create a preliminary materiality matrix.

Step Three
Validation

Identification

Validation

To ensure compliance with the GRI and stakeholder inclusiveness principles, and to strengthen PLANET’s material topics,
results of the preliminary identification of material topics were reviewed by the chairperson of PLANET’s Sustainability
Committee. The committee also added the topic of “Information security” and raised the degree of materiality for the two
topics, "Climate change ", and "Supply chain management", based on results of international benchmarking analysis,trends in sustainability, global risks assessment and PLANET’s business development strategies.

Step Four

Review

In the next report, PLANET will continue to review the materiality matrix and enhance stakeholder engagement todetermine if the matrix for the coming year is reasonable or in need of adjustment.

The maximum power of a BSP-360 is 154 watts, so the daily power consumption is 3,696 watt-hours. Therefore, the annual
power consumption, after calculation, is 1349.04 kWh.

2.

Taking the 2019 electricity carbon emission coefficient into consideration, it can be calculated that the annual carbon
emission reduction achieved by a BSP-360 is 0.6872 metric tons of CO2e, which is equal to the carbon emission reduction
achieved by planting 57 trees.

(1) PLANET and its suppliers must fulfill their social and environmental
responsibilities.
(2) PLANET and its suppliers must ensure the absence of "conflict minerals”
from Congo and the surrounding countries and regions in their products.
(3) PLANET and its suppliers must trace sources of all Gold (Au), Tantalum(Ta), Tin (Sn), Tungsten (W), Cobalt (Co), and Mica and other sources of
responsible minerals published in the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)
in all products. At the same time, all suppliers should complete the
Responsible Minerals Information Collection Form to confirm sources ofrelated minerals and should use a list of RMI compliant smelters/refineries
to avoid mines directly or indirectly financing armed groups in conflictaffected regions or mines in regions involved in human rights violations.
(4) No purchase of conflict metals produced in conflict areas, but non-conflictminerals from other regions do not need to be boycotted.
(5) PLANET and its suppliers should communicate the above requirement totheir upstream suppliers.

Rather than buying raw materials directly from smelters or refineries, PLANET buys components that do not contain conflict minerals.
As part of its corporate social responsibility, PLANET prohibits the purchase of minerals from conflict zones and other high-risk areas
in and around the Democratic Republic of The Congo to avoid human rights disasters and to reduce supply chain management risks.
PLANET has established its “Responsible Mineral Management Process” and the “Responsible Mineral Procurement Policy”. The
company conducts responsible minerals information collection survey with its new and existing suppliers using the responsible
minerals reporting template, which includes Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and Cobalt Reporting Template (CRT),
etc., as recommended by the RMI. During the validation phase, suppliers are required to sign the Declaration of Compliance with
Supply Chain Code of Conduct (containing conflict minerals declaration) and to complete the RMI forms. After that, PLANET carries
out comprehensive controls to prevent the use of conflict minerals from non-conforming smelters and consolidates the responsible
minerals information. For abnormal situations, the company's risk management measures include re-conducting the responsible
minerals information collection survey and re-selecting materials or procurement of alternative materials.

4.2 Climate Change and Carbon Management
Climate risks have been regarded as the most urgent issues in the “Global Risk Report” published by the World Economic Forum(WEF) in the past five years. To implement national GHG reduction commitments and achieve the reduction targets, governmentsof various countries have formulated incentive measures and established market mechanisms or laws and regulations. At the sametime, the impact of climate change on institutional aspect of enterprises is also increasing. To adapt to the severe environmental
conditions or to meet standard requirements of the governments and investors, enterprises need to assess how to minimize theimpact of climate change and carbon reduction on themselves based on their own operations, value chain and core capabilities. At
the same time, enterprises need to exert their own energy and influence to maximize market opportunities and benefits.
In addition to setting short, mid and long term environmental sustainability goals and starting renewable energy to echo RE100,
PLANET continues to conduct GHG inventory to grasp the company's GHG emissions, promote various energy-saving and carbon
reduction actions, and hold environmental protection related activities to deepen staff's environmental awareness. At the same time,
the company has established environmental protection policies and carried out systematic implementation and management
according to the ISO14001 Environmental Management System standards. To accomplish its goal of “Building a low carbon andsustainable PLANET”, the company attaches great importance to the issues such as “climate change”, “ecological water”, “energy
conservation and carbon reduction”, and “resource recycling”, with the aim to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse effectthrough diversified actions, and thus to achieve environmental sustainability.

4.3 Water Resource Conservation
Adopted in 1992, Agenda 21 made sustainable water resources management an important issue for the future development of all
countries. Agenda 21 highlighted the significance of “Protection of the quality and supply of water resources” in the action plan forsustainable water resources management, and suggested that the integrated method should be applied to the development,
management and use of water resources. As PLANET’s production processes do not involve use of water, the company takes
ecological water resources protection as the direction of its sustainable water resources management works. Since 2010, PLANET
has been working with Tse-Xin Organic Agriculture Foundation. Until 2021, PLANET has been adopting Pinglin organic tea plantationfor 12 consecutive years. The company’s adoption has stopped the organic tea plantation from using pesticides, chemical fertilizers
and other toxic substances, which will avoid contaminating the water of Feitsui Reservoir. The Pinglin organic tea plantation adoption
action plan established by PLANET has improved the quality of surrounding water resources and protected the ecosystems in thewater source area.

Governance

Waste management(1) The domestic waste generated in PLANET’s operation is uniformly disposed by the management center of the building
where the company is renting offices, so it cannot be monitored quantitatively. However, PLANET has set up resource
recycling area on each floor, and all the employees are required to carry out separation of recyclable resources as a daily
practice, thus to protect the environment by resource recycling.
(2) For the disposal of industrial waste generated in the process of operation, PLANET hires qualified Grade-A waste disposal
business operator for treatment, and then have the treated waste recycled by a third-party recycling agency. The company
conducts industrial waste separation and recycling every year. In 2021, the company recycled 2.58 tons of non-hazardous
industrial waste, of which recycled e-waste accounted for 20.88%.

Coping Strategy and Opportunity Derived

Policy and regulatory risks are easier to identify than other risks.
Among all the policies, PLANET has paid particular attention to
Corporate Governance 3.0 and amendments to the Greenhouse Gas
Reduction and Management Act, and has always adjusted its
strategies in advance of the policy to avoid violations. At present,
PLANET’s factories are not covered by carbon tax or mandatory
carbon trading management, and the products are not under directcontrol. However, once the factories and products are governed byrelated regulations, it may result in increased operating costs, higher
administrative costs, inadequate supply of renewable power or lackof policy transparency, which may, in turn, result in the company
being unable to formulate timely coping strategies or even facing
penalties.

■ Carry out organizational carbon inventory, through which internalcarbon pricing is determined■ Announce the implementation of RE100, set short -, mid - and longterm goals for renewable electricity■ Pay close attention to the development of international institutions
such as the carbon border tax, renewable energy regulations andrenewable electricity certificate system.

In 2021, PLANET received enquiries from its global customers about
its carbon reduction targets and ratio of renewable power. However,renewable power is a new challenge for human beings. In the context
of a currently non-transparent global renewable power market andprice, how to obtain renewable power that meets customer
requirements and has environmental externality, while taking into
account the ecological needs, is one of the derivative risks we areconcerned about.

Climate-Related Risks and Impact

Technology
Risks

PLANET focuses on the development in the field of networking &communication, and actively explores more development space in
low energy consumption and renewable energy economy. The
company has developed a number of green products. In the context
of climate change, some green products can be used for renewableenergy-related solutions. As a result, the company may face morechallenges from technological competition.
The development of new technologies requires coordination from thewhole supply chain before they become commercial products. If
PLANET's existing suppliers fail to improve their awareness of climatechange, their specifications and technologies fail to meet therequirements of new technologies, or their material costs are too high,it will inevitably affect the company's product quality andcommercialization process, as well as the company's overall cost.

■Climate change is one of the factors that PLANET considers in its
technology deployment. The new technologies, new products andnew business directions raised by climate change are allopportunities for the company.
■Taking PoE as an example, PLANET’s “renewable energy power
supply intelligent network management controller NMS-360V” is theworld's first humanized green power intelligent network management
system, and won three innovation awards in Taiwan and abroad in
2021.

Climate-Related Risks and Impact

Coping Strategy and Opportunity Derived■ Develop ventilation and heat dissipation equipment with heat
resistance, low temperature resistance and salt resistanceMarket Risks

If PLANET's customers' demand for low-carbon products is lower
than the company's expectation or their response is not keen enough,it may result in delayed launch of the company's low-carbon products,
unaccepted price, reduced profits or early ending of the products’ life
cycle. Climate change may indirectly or directly cause imbalance
between supply and demand of raw materials, which will force
PLANET to choose suppliers with higher unit prices. And changing
transportation routes will increase transportation costs. In addition,
the company's material specifications may be upgraded to industrial
grade due to climate change (improved heat resistance, salt tolerance
or energy efficiency), resulting in higher raw materials and production
costs.

■ continuously monitor international trends and developments

Reputation
Risks

Reputation risk is relatively low for PLANET, mainly because thecompany's product portfolio is quite diversified and does not havehigh carbon emission products, so it is less likely to face negative
news caused by climate change.

Physical Risks

Physical risks may lead to the interruption of the company's material
and goods transportation, the traffic obstruction of employees, thereduction of employee productivity due to high temperature, theincrease of air conditioning costs and building maintenance costs,
and the interruption of production lines due to flooding and watersupply suspension.

■ Since 2006, PLANET has introduced green building materials andenergy-saving appliances into its factory offices, and calculated its
electricity consumption annually.

Regular Annual Performance Review
PLANET has developed an employee performance appraisal system, which is carried out regularly every year, excluding some part-time
employees. In 2021, all the 152 full-time employees, including 80 female and 72 male employees. completed the performance appraisal,accounting for 98% of the total number of employees. The procedure of employee performance appraisal includes three steps, namely
employee self-evaluation, preliminary evaluation by the junior supervisor and review by the senior supervisor. After the three steps ofevaluation, the results are submitted to the management for approval, which prevents the subjective factors of the evaluators from affecting
the fairness of the performance appraisal. The employee’s performance is evaluated according to the core functions, professional functions
and management functions of the employee’s duties to improve the validity of the scoring. Promotions, salary raises and year-end bonuses
will be offered as incentives to employees who have performed well. During the annual performance appraisal, employees can communicate
directly with their supervisors about issues related to job performance and salary. PLANET encourages employees to express their opinions
openly. Employees are free to express their ideas about the management, organization, supervisors or management system so as toestablish a free communication channel within the company and encourage employees to express their views freely.

In 2021, thenumber of employees with physical and mental disabilities accounted for 1.29% of the company's total staff, which was in compliance withgovernment regulations. The company has always adhered to the principle of equal employment and does not consider a candidate's religion,
race or party affiliation as a factor in deciding whether to hire or not. There have been no cases of discrimination in PLANET’s employment.
PLANET has always been an advocate for the principle of "gender equality in employment” and actively promoting "equal rights for male andfemale employees”, in 2020-2021, a total of 7 second-time employed women will be employed. Employees doing the same work receive equal

6.1.1 Educational Program for Disadvantaged Children
PLANET has conducted the “Educational Program for Disadvantaged Children” project since 2004 to provide the remedial teaching,
psychological counseling, emotional therapy and other activities to help stimulate these children’s motivation to learn and correct
behavioral disorders. Like the spirit of doing business, PLANET uses the same strategy to better the livelihood of the disadvantaged
children by improving their education. PLANET uses its corporate management capabilities to collaborate social resources such as
schools, communities, professional psychologists, etc. to create a "resource network", effectively improving disadvantaged education,and influence society positively in the long term. In addition, this operation mode can also be applied to different schools easily,
making greater benefits to the school, the family and the society as a whole.
In this educational program, SOPs have been used to standardize operating processes by integrating different operating modes indifferent schools so as to facilitate the unified operation of the program in a long-term, measurable and performance-evaluable
manner. In each semester, it is divided into three stages -- “pre-semester assignment”, “semester assignment”, and “end-of-semester
evaluation”, implemented by the PDCA cycle so that the remedial teaching tactics can be adjusted, if needed, in time. The
performance of the disadvantaged children can thus be reviewed.
PLANET has been supporting the “Educational Program for
Disadvantaged Children” in New Taipei City’s Xindian District,
Sanxia District, Xizhi District, Shulin District and Taipei City’s
Muzha area for 17 years.
From 2004 to 2021, PLANET supported a total of 19 elementary
schools, junior high schools and institutions through the program,providing education to 9,824 children and sponsoring 1,859
teachers and volunteers through development group activities.

ESG Commitments
and Stakeholders
Engagement

A variety of methods are used to encourage employee participation in charity and volunteer events. By caring and learning more
about people, they can experience the joy of volunteering. Once they return to the workplace they would become better at internalteam building.
(1) A “CSR - Charitable Event Zone” has been set up on the PLANET e-World intranet. Regular updates are provided on charitable
events inviting employees to take part in serving the public.

Innovations(2) Employees have been provided with one day of paid volunteer leave since 2011.
(3) Volunteer passports and recognition arrangements have been developed to boost employee interest in volunteering.
Volunteer activities can be launched by the management or employees can also volunteer as social workers to join in improving
their local environment and culture.
In 2021, all the volunteers provided service for a total of 416 hours. As the COVID-19 prevention strategy continues to be adjusted,
PLANET has used its limited time to organize volunteer activities, which has encouraged its staff to participate in social welfare
activities and contribute to a better environment and society.
