A Message from the Chairman
A Message from the Chairman
Upholding our mission amid changes
The global automotive industry is undergoing profound changes driven by electrification smart technology and
higher safety requirements. As semiconductor technology is the core driver of these changes innovation and supply
chain resilience have become common strategic focus across the global automotive industry. In line with its mission
“Sense & Drive the Future Build a Green Smart and Connected World with Semiconductors” NOVOSENSE
harnesses reliable chip technology and focuses on high-safety scenarios such as OBC/DCDC BMS and main
inverters for new energy vehicles as well as smart driving and body control to provide high-quality products and
services for the global automotive electronics industry chain.Achievements in automotive business
In the past year we have made several achievements in the automotive electronics field. By the end of 2024
NOVOSENSE had shipped a total of 668 million automotive chips covering almost all mainstream new energy
vehicle models. Our high-performance and low-power products are not only widely used in OBC/DCDC BMS main
inverters and thermal management systems but are also being applied in vehicle domain control lighting intelligent
cockpits chassis and safety. As we go global our automotive chips have been recognized by leading carmakers
and car part suppliers in China and abroad establishing the company as a reliable partner in the global automotive
electronics industry.Green practices and sustainability
Sustainability is one of our core strategies. We have integrated low-carbon concepts into chip design and our
new-generation products help optimize energy efficiency for end users and support emission reduction efforts across
the industry. In terms of supply chains we conduct joint awareness campaigns to integrate ESG into the industrial
chain and drive win-win results in green transformation. To develop talent we have launched various initiatives –
such as the “XIN HUO” Program and the “XIN YUN” Program – to empower our teams and we have entered into
partnerships with top universities in order to source professionals who have strong technological skills as well as an
awareness of the importance of sustainability.Wang Shengyang Dear colleagues partners and readers

Green Office Initiatives Responding to Climate Change
We actively promote green office practices and strengthen the implementation of green and environmental initiatives:
Global warming has led to a steady stream of abnormal weather and the challenges posed by climate change
are of concern to society as a whole. This not only puts forward higher requirements for promoting low-carbon
development and building ecological civilization but also has a positive effect on promoting the transformation and
upgrading of economic structure energy structure and industrial structure. NOVOSENSE describes our efforts and
future directions in addressing climate change in terms of governance strategy and risk management.Governance
In terms of governance the Board of Directors and senior management are responsible for making decisions on and
monitoring the planning and actual results of the company’s sustainability management. At the same time the Brand
and Marketing Communication Center serves as the ESG coordinator working with various departments branches
and subsidiaries to promote the company’s sustainability management. The Board of Directors is responsible for
monitoring climate-related risks and opportunities and identifying and studying the impact of climate change on
our business activities through collaboration among various departments (see the “ESG Governance” section of this
report for details). We refer to the TCFD (Climate-related Financial Disclosures) framework to gradually review the
current situation formulate strategies manage risks and identify and manage indicators and goals for the risks and
Post green office slogans opportunities that may be caused by climate change.Strategy
Climate-related risks include risks related to the transition to a low-carbon economy (“transition risks”) and risks
related to the physical impact of climate change (“physical risks”). Transition risks can be divided into policy and
legal risks technical risks market risks and reputation risks. Physical risks include acute risks (e.g. extreme
weather such as typhoons and floods) and chronic risks (e.g. changes in climate patterns such as persistent high
temperatures). In addressing climate change we not only prevent risks but also proactively identify opportunities
including resource efficiency energy sources products and services market and resilience.Respond to the call for garbage sorting Implement electricity conservation actions Use energy-saving and
