Love is an unwavering corporate social responsibility: Loving the company, society, the environment, and the employees.

Half a century ago, the founders of AGV embarked on their journey with a simple yet profound principle – love. Over the decades, this love has evolved from a sense of responsibility towards their families into a profound commitment to lifelong dedication, the betterment of society and the nation, the preservation of the Earth’s environment, and a deep affection for the employees and their families who work tirelessly alongside them. The teachings and foresight of AGV’s founding generation continue to be deeply ingrained in the hearts of the management and every employee. AGV firmly believes that corporate social responsibility is not a burden but rather the cornerstone of building a century-old legacy. It’s a sweet promise that remains unwavering: to love the company, to love society, to love the environment, and to love the employees.
Thanks to recent global trends and government policies that encourage listed companies to actively fulfill Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), advancing in four major dimensions: Environmental Protection, Social Participation, Corporate Governance, and Enterprise Commitment, AGV has been able to develop its sustainable business strategy and align with international political and economic trends. This approach has enabled AGV to progress continuously toward sustainable business practices and environmental prosperity. As a result of these efforts, AGV has maintained stable growth in revenue, profits, market share, and customer loyalty over the years. Even in the face of severe challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, geopolitical conflicts, and inflation, AGV’s tangible and intangible advantages have allowed the company to perform robustly in both Corporate Social Performance (CSP) and Corporate Financial Performance (CFP). AGV not only exceeds expectations from various stakeholders but also fosters mutual support and mutually beneficial relationships, demonstrating resilience in both short and long-term performance.
To further proactively address the increasing global emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in recent years, our management has long been committed to balancing both financial and non-financial performance in our operations. Simultaneously, our Sustainable Management Responsibility Team remains vigilant in monitoring the timely disclosure of corporate social performance information, as assessed by international sustainability ratings such as CDP and DJSI, and relevant advocacy organizations like GRI and IIRC. We continuously assess, review, enhance, and track our efforts to align with international trends and standards, and in some cases, even stay ahead of them. Drawing from the collective expertise of international sustainability rating agencies, the guidance of government regulatory bodies, and the foresight of Taiwan’s listed companies, AGV’s Sustainable Management Responsibility Team has consolidated the latest strategic directions and action plans for corporate social performance: 1. Corporate Commitment Promise 2. Social Welfare Promise 3. Environmental Sustainability Promise 4. Employee Well-being Promise These commitments reflect our dedication to comprehensive corporate social responsibility and our commitment to enhancing the well-being of our employees, supporting the community, and ensuring the sustainability of our environment.

1.【Love Company】Corporate Governance Commitment: Business Responsibility, Quality Safety, Research and Innovation
Listed companies are the benchmark for all private enterprises, not only gaining access to the largest national social resources but also earning the trust and expectations of the general public. Love Taste deeply understands the importance of food in people’s lives and the responsibilities and commitments that come with being a food company. Guided by the corporate vision of “Making Tomorrow Healthier” and a commitment to “Great Health” in food safety, we spare no effort in overseeing both financial and non-financial aspects of our business. We implement a fair, equitable, and transparent supply chain management system and strive to comply with food safety policies and regulations.

Our team is dedicated to maintaining positive and steady financial performance in terms of revenue, gross margin, operating margin, and net profit margin. Earnings per share and shareholders’ equity have also shown significant improvements. In the area of corporate governance, we wholeheartedly promote various non-financial indicators of corporate social responsibility, including compliance with environmental laws, energy management, pollution prevention, and environmentally friendly policies, all held to the highest standards.

The promise of delivering products that “Make Tomorrow Healthier” is the cornerstone of Love Taste’s foundation.

3. 【Love the Environment】Environmental Sustainability Commitment: Proactive Planning, Environmental Responsibility, Coexistence and Prosperity
For many years, Love Taste has considered “sustainable development” as one of the essential principles in its business operations. This concept represents not only the growth of the company but also its commitment to corporate social responsibility while pursuing that growth. To survive as a business, one must first be kind to the land. From employees to families, from the company’s self-management to its advocacy for cooperative partners, this philosophy is embedded in our core values, and it is our way of giving back a cleaner Earth to the next generation. Apart from continuously improving our production technology, we also adhere to the environmentally friendly 3R principle of Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse, which effectively manages resources like water, raw materials, and waste. More importantly, it helps prevent pollution and public harm caused by the production process. In recent years, the larger environment has faced significant impacts due to economic growth, indirectly affecting many ecosystems. Therefore, our company is even more committed to energy conservation and carbon reduction. We have developed environmental management programs following the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) model. Throughout this process, we have established indicators and continuously monitored and controlled factors such as electricity and water usage, wastewater generation, waste production, and production capacity. Our specific policies include：

● Environmental Protection Policy (Dedicated Team, Compliance with Environmental Laws, Performance Monitoring)

● Water and Energy Resource Management Policy (Green Energy Integration, Wastewater Recycling, Carbon Emission Offset)

● Pollution Prevention and Control Policy (Emphasizing Recycling, Secondary Prevention, Compliance with Regulations)

● Green and Environmentally Friendly Policy (Environmental Materials, Energy Efficiency, Bio-Friendliness)

We hope that our employees, who strive together and work towards their ideals, can live harmoniously within the Love Taste and Love Integrity family.
