Director Diversity Policy
We advocate and respect the director diversity policy. To strengthen corporate governance and to promote the healthy development of the composition and structure of the board, we believe that the diversity policy can help improve the overall corporate performance.Directors are elected by competency to ensure that the board is formed by members with competencies of different industries to complement the insufficiencies of one another. In addition to the basic requirements and values (e.g., age, gender, nationality, and culture), the eligibility of directors also includes industry knowledge and related skills (e.g., finance, accounting, law, industry, information technology, and marketing), as well as abilities in operational judgment, business management, leadership, decision-making, and crisis management.
To improve board competency for ideal corporate governance, the overall abilities of the board as specified in Article 3 of the “BCH Procedures for Election of Directors” are as follows:
1.Ability to make judgments about operations
2.Accounting and financial analysis ability
3.Business management ability
4.Crisis management ability
5.Knowledge of the industry
6.An international market perspective
7.Leadership ability.
8.Decision-making ability. Our present director diversity policy and current status of implementation are as follows: In the “BCH Procedures for Election of Directors” we have specified that “The composition of the board of directors shall be determined by taking diversity into consideration and formulating an appropriate policy on diversity based on the company's business operations, operating dynamics, and development needs.”
Based on the diversity policy, we re-elected the board on June 21, 2023 with seven directors (including four independent directors), accounting for 57.14% of all seats in the board.The average term and seniority of all three independent directors are less than six years.Two directors are aged 41-50 years old, three are aged 51-60 years old, one are aged 61-70 years old, and one are aged 71-80 years old. The average age of directors is 57 years old.All directors are dignitaries of the industry. One director is the partner of a law firm; one is the CPA of an accounting firm and the part-time instructor of finance at the National Central University; one is a PhD candidate of the Department of Business Administration, National Central University; and one is currently hired by a venture investment company and in the high-tech industry. All are equipped with sufficient experience in corporate governance and industry technology. The professional knowledge and skills of the board cover industry, law, finance and accounting, technology, and management.
