Based on the principle of equal opportunity, we aim to promote talent development and ensure sustainable organizational growth.

I. Policy Principles


1. Equal Employment and Promotion Opportunities

The Company strictly prohibits any form of discrimination, bullying, or harassment. A formal complaint channel and handling mechanism have been established to safeguard employee rights.

The Group is committed to promoting diversity, eliminating gender bias, and supporting equal opportunities, and plays an active role in reviewing its operations and decision-making processes. These principles not only apply to our recruitment process but are also reflected in promotion opportunities and compensation policies. We firmly believe that pay equity is a key factor in attracting and retaining outstanding employees.

The main subsidiaries under the Company are in the manufacturing sector, where entry-level production line positions and general administrative roles are mostly held by women, while technical, research and development, and managerial positions are predominantly held by men. This results in the average salary and total compensation level of female employees being lower than those of male employees. This difference is due to the nature of the industry, job attributes, and labor market structure, and is not the result of any gender preference in the Company’s hiring practices. During recruitment, the Company has always adhered to the principle of gender equality, treating all applicants equally, with hiring standards based on capability and job suitability.

Although this difference is caused by industry characteristics, the Company continues to actively promote gender equality and diversity through the following measures:

  1. Promoting internal career development mechanisms: Providing female employees with more training and resources to transfer to technical positions or be promoted to managerial roles.
  2. Enhancing recruitment diversity: For technical and managerial positions, strengthening the “gender-friendly job” messaging to encourage women to submit applications.
  3. Strengthening the implementation of fairness principles: The Company’s current remuneration and promotion mechanisms are based on a comprehensive assessment of employee performance, professional capability, and departmental needs, ensuring that both male and female employees have career development opportunities on an equal basis.
