Solution: Most of the important components of the Company are purchased and imported overseas and priced with foreign currency, and the sales are mostly priced with foreign currency, which can naturally offset the impact of change of exchange rate on revenue and cost. Furthermore, taking currency hedging measures can help us reasonably avoid exchange rate risk.

Corporate governance focuses on autonomy and self-examination to achieve the goal of self-discipline through standardization, while sustainable operations emphasize people and the environment to fulfill corporate social responsibility through continuous efforts. Inventec has always adhered to the concept of integrity and sustainable management, encourages colleagues to face these challenges head-on, and join Inventec to enhance strength and sense of identity through the core values of "innovation, quality, open mind and execution" to further increase Inventec's competitiveness. In the future, we need to do "one more responsibility, one more concern". Through the Internet of Things, we can obtain experience and share resources to maximize social responsibility. Inventec adheres to a consistent operation philosophy and corporate culture. Through internal management mechanisms and external auditing execution, Inventec vigorously examines and approves the setting and execution of objectives and strategies, actually mastering the overall organizational risk.
Inventec has also carefully evaluated its plant expansion plan in accordance with the economic environment and market demand, and also disposed of part of the Shanghai Pudong subsidiary plant through the activation of assets in early 2021 to reduce capital exposure risk. With the reallocation of production capacity, a win-win situation will be created.
In the era of Sino-US trade barriers and the post-epidemic situation, the manufacturing industry needs to build a highly resilient supply chain to face the risk of supply chains breaking and strengthen demand forecasts, procurement bargaining and supplier management mechanisms globally. These actions will disperse the risk of product manufacturing, and raw material supply and distribution from regional customer demand. Inventec has already adjusted its production strategy. Whether the purchase of key components or the sale of the whole machine, Inventec strives for diversification in supply and demand. The so-called "serving the hour" will effectively prevent the dilemma caused by the excessive concentration of purchases and sales.
Climate change risk: Following the TCFD climate change governance framework for mitigation and adjustment practices, according to climate action practices, define the risk assessment and identification procedures, policies and regulations, technology, market, goodwill and extreme weather, assess the potential niche opportunities, search for opportunities in new energy resources, markets, products/services, and resource efficiency, developing new businesses and services, and integrate them into Inventec's operating procedures.
In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, adjust production strategies and strengthen business continuity management. Due to the spread and impact of COVID-19, there may be a risk of plant operations being suspended. In order to ensure continuous operation, Inventec has set up an epidemic prevention response team in each plant to formulate epidemic prevention plans, implement epidemic prevention measures, schedule staff epidemic prevention life, deploy the value chain in advance, serve customers without interruption, and ensure continuous operation.
