01Environment
Over the years, we remain steadfast in our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), embodying the principle of “taking from society, giving back to society” at the core of our business operations. Based on this ethos, we integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) sustainability indicators, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility among our workforce and throughout our operations.
Environmental Sustainability
Environmental Protection Policy
In alignment with our commitment to global citizenship and a sustainable future, we endeavor to make significant contributions to environmental protection. Complying with policies, laws, and regulations, we take environmental improvement initiatives based on the principles of continuous enhancement and pollution prevention, both internally and externally.
Environmental Management Objectives
In line with our commitment to sustainable development, the Company initiated greenhouse gas inventory operations in 2023, formally establishing a carbon inventory foundation. As part of the gaming industry, the Company’s carbon emission baseline is relatively low, which not only facilitates systematic management and tracking of our carbon footprint going forward, but also lays a solid foundation for implementing concrete carbon reduction measures and advancing toward low-carbon operations. Moving ahead, we will continue to refine our inventory systems and strengthen carbon management capabilities, steadily progressing toward our sustainability goals.

Energy Conservation
Items Measures Lighting - Installation of energy-efficient T5 lamps accompanied by reminders to switch off lights when not in use.
- Reduction of lighting fixtures or tubes in areas with lower illumination requirements such as corridors, passages, and warehouses.
- Partial lighting shutdowns or reductions during lunch breaks.
- Adoption of minimal lighting for colleagues working overtime after 7:00 PM and on weekends.
- Adoption of a policy for colleagues to ensure departmental lights are switched off before leaving the offices.
Air Conditioning - Set temperature ranges for air conditioning between 26° and 28°C with supplementary electric fans.
- Installation of temperature control knobs on chillers and setting digital codes to regulate air conditioning fan operation.
- Maintenance of sealed doors and windows to prevent air conditioning leakage and heat infiltration, thereby reducing air conditioning load.
- Utilization of curtains or sun protection film on windows to mitigate solar radiation and indoor heat gain.
- Shutdown of air conditioning systems and closure of meeting room doors after use.
Power - Enforcement of a policy to power off computers and electrical appliances during prolonged periods of inactivity to mitigate standby losses.
- Prioritization of equipment selection with energy-saving labels and activation of automatic sleep modes for water dispensers and office machines to optimize power usage.
- Regular monitoring and adjustment of electricity contract capacity based on recorded electricity consumption.
Computer - Enforcement of a policy to power down monitor and hard drive of a personal computer after 5 minutes of idle time and entering standby mode after 30 minutes.
- Public announcement on shutting down computers at the end of each workday.
Elevator - Opt for stairs over elevators whenever possible (as the office is mostly located on lower floors).
Others - Enforcement of 5S management principles.
- Prompt reporting of any water leakage from faucets or toilets to the management department.
- Reduction of office machines to conserve standby power and optimize space utilization.
Carbon Reduction
Items Measures Papers - Default printers to black and white printing and discourage unnecessary color printing.
- Procure paper with lower grammage to minimize resource consumption.
- Install paper recycling bins in offices to facilitate paper reuse and recycling.
- Promote efficient paper usage by encouraging the use of blank sides for notes and drafts.
- Emphasize electronic file storage over physical printing to reduce paper consumption.
- Choose electronic distribution of meeting and training materials to minimize paper usage.
- Communicate announcements to employees via email and utilize the Electronic Information Portal (EIP) to minimize paper-based communications.
Greening - Enhance office environments by introducing potted plants in designated areas to create a greener workplace.
Recycling - Establish recycling zones for sorting and collecting various recyclable materials such as paper, glass, metal, aluminum, plastics, and batteries.
- Enforce proper labeling and disposal procedures for recyclable waste.

Sustainable development practical conservation executionOur sustainability taskforce, comprising representatives from the General Manager's Office, Administration Department, Management Department, and Employee Welfare Committee, is dedicated to advancing corporate sustainability efforts. Tasked with developing and enforcing policies, systems, and management guidelines for sustainable development, the taskforce reports annually to the Board of Directors.
In alignment with our commitment to practicing sustainable development, Softstar has established the "Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles." These principles focus on enhancing employee welfare, contributing to social welfare, and promoting environmental sustainability.
In January 2026, we presented a comprehensive report to the Board of Directors on the execution of our corporate social responsibility initiatives for the fiscal year 2025.
