The FIH Board of Directors holds ultimate responsibility for overseeing the Company's internal control and enterprise risk management systems, ensuring that risk management mechanisms operate effectively and support the Company's sustainable growth. Through a systematic process of risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring, FIH continuously strengthens its risk governance framework and manages risks within acceptable levels.
To further enhance organizational resilience, the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team works closely with the Sustainability Office to integrate sustainability-related risks into routine risk assessments and internal control processes. In addition, through regular training programs and knowledge-sharing initiatives, FIH continuously enhances the risk management capabilities of the Board and management team, strengthening the Company's ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from potential risks, thereby laying a solid foundation for long-term sustainable development.
FIH places great importance on information security and privacy protection, and is committed to safeguarding the information rights of customers, suppliers, employees, and other stakeholders. We have implemented an ISO 27001 information security management system (ISMS) and continue to maintain the validity of our certification. As of mid-2026, seven of our sites have obtained ISO 27001 certification. Going forward, we will gradually expand the scope of certification, with the goal of having all of our global operating sites certified.
To ensure operational and data security, FIH has established an information security governance and operations team and formulated an information security policy. The team operates under the oversight of the Hon Hai Technology Group Information Security Committee and continues to strengthen the protection of networks, systems, devices, and data, while safeguarding customer privacy and intellectual property to build a secure and reliable operating environment.
FIH places great importance on personal data protection and privacy security. Personal information collected from customers, suppliers, and employees during the course of business operations is managed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, ensuring security and compliance throughout the entire data lifecycle, including collection, use, storage, transmission, and disposal.
We use personal data solely for legitimate and necessary purposes and implement appropriate management and protection measures to safeguard the accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality of such information. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, or loss of personal data.
In addition, all employees are required to fulfill their confidentiality obligations and properly protect any sensitive or confidential information encountered in the course of their work. In the event of an information security incident, FIH will promptly activate its incident response procedures, work closely with relevant parties to address the issue, and continuously strengthen its security controls to mitigate impacts and prevent similar incidents from recurring.
FIH continues to invest in innovation and R&D to create greater value for our customers. As of the end of 2025, we had filed a cumulative total of 1,123 patent applications worldwide, covering software, antenna design, mobile devices, and other hardware technologies. Of these, 889 patents have been granted in major markets including the United States, China, Taiwan, and Europe.
We recognize that innovation and intellectual property protection are fundamental to sustainable business development. Therefore, throughout our product design, research and development, and manufacturing processes, we strictly comply with applicable laws, regulations, and ethical standards. FIH requires employees, customers, and suppliers to sign intellectual property and confidentiality agreements to safeguard business secrets and innovative achievements.
In addition, we uphold a strong commitment to respecting intellectual property rights and strictly prohibit any form of infringement. Any suspected violations are reviewed and addressed in accordance with established procedures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of both the Company and its business partners.
