As the pinnacle of the healthcare system, medical centers shoulder the diagnosis and care of acute, critical, difficult, and rare diseases, continuously constructing a patient-centered, high-quality medical system. Since being evaluated and accredited as a medical center in 1993, the Hospital has long played a pivotal role in the southern region. While deeply cultivating clinical care, medical research, and teaching inheritance, the Hospital is also deeply aware that the health of the greater environment serves as the bedrock of health for all. In the face of the Ministry of the Environment's high requirements for the sustainable transformation of the healthcare industry, the Hospital has integrated "Green Healthcare" into its core strategy. This ensures that while pursuing medical excellence and supporting the stability of regional medical energy, resource circulation and net-zero emissions are implemented simultaneously, leveraging the leading position of a medical center to guide the symbiotic prosperity of medical care and the environment.

—Climate Strategy and Framework—

Since the “Paris Agreement” established the global goal of limiting temperature rise to well below pre-industrial levels and advancing net-zero emissions, nations worldwide have accelerated their climate actions and low-carbon transitions. Under this international trend, the healthcare system—as a highly energy- and resource-intensive critical infrastructure—must not only respond to the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on health, but also actively assume carbon reduction responsibilities and a role in sustainable governance.

• Adoption of Climate-Related Disclosures and Assessment

To actively respond to environmental challenges and enhance information transparency, NCKU Hospital refers to the IFRS S2 "Climate-related Disclosures" standards issued by the ISSB, elevating climate risk management from past framework recommendations to a more systematic, governance-level height that links directly with financial performance. The reporting scope is consistent with that of the individual financial statements. The concrete implementation path is as follows:
