ESG Committee Chairperson
Message from the Chairperson of the ESG Committee
2025 was a defining year for MediaTek to demonstrate operational resilience through sustainable action and expand our social impact. We firmly believe corporate growth must drive mutual prosperity within local supply chains. In 2025, MediaTek's NT$300 billion Taiwan procurement generated NT$516.8 billion in local production value and created 66,400 jobs, fueling regional economic growth.
We continue to make steady progress across all dimensions of sustainability:
Environment: Climate & Net-Zero Impact
To address global net-zero trends, MediaTek has identified TCFD climate risks, joined the SBTi, and implemented internal carbon pricing to actively strengthen climate resilience. Operationally, we prioritized green design to reduce both our products’ energy consumption and physical footprints. Globally, we completed greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and external verifications ahead of schedule.
Across Taiwan, our offices have secured ISO certifications for water footprint and environmental management, while sites with relatively high energy impact have also achieved energy management ISO certifications. Our three new buildings meet green building standards and incorporate solar power systems to supplement our energy needs, and our R&D data center is constructed to the highest EEWH specifications. In addition, we are extending our impact across the value chain by actively supporting supply chain partners in setting renewable energy goals and mapping carbon reduction pathways.
Social: Talent & Local Impact
Talent is the cornerstone of MediaTek’s innovation and long-term sustainability. As our global footprint expands, we support our team at every life stage with flexible hours, competitive benefits, and family-friendly policies, fostering a workplace where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are valued worldwide. Our 2025 biennial Global Employee Survey saw active participation from employees around the world. This feedback helps management address core concerns and guides employees in aligning their contributions with our long-term vision.
Externally, we continue to run "Girls! TECH Action" to cultivate female tech talent. We also upgraded our eight-year-old "Genius for Home" program into an Impact Accelerator, partnering with high-potential teams to turn "tech for good" into tangible social progress. Beyond our core programs, MediaTek empowers our global team to give back. In 2025, over 1,000 employees dedicated more than 4,000 volunteer hours to create a positive social impact.
Governance: Structure, Security & Brand
Strong corporate governance protects corporate value. We ranked in the top 5% of the TWSE Corporate Governance Evaluation for the sixth consecutive time. We also placed 3rd in Interbrand's "Best Taiwan Global Brands" for three years straight--with our brand value reaching USD 2.039 billion and leading the growth rate chart for the fifth consecutive year. As part of managing operational risk, MediaTek maintains an Information Security Committee to oversee the execution of our information security policies. To further enhance operational resilience, we also proactively develop industry talent and fortify cybersecurity defenses across our supply chain.
Outlook 2026: Deepening Resilience
Our strategic focus for 2026 begins with further reducing our direct carbon footprint and extends to driving supply chain sustainability. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, empowering global talent to unleash their full potential. Furthermore, we will continue to work with global partners to build a more resilient and inclusive future.
