Human Rights Commitment

The Company duly observes the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights," "United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights," the "ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work," and the "UK Modern Slavery Act," and follows the requirements defined by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). It also upholds internationally recognized human rights norms, including the prohibition of human trafficking, the use of child labor, the elimination of all forms of forced labor, the prevention of workplace violence, and discrimination in employment practices. In accordance with labor laws in the respective locations where the Company operates, policies and operational standards such as the "Human Rights Policy," "Labor Policy and Operational Standards," "Operational Standards for Prohibition of Child Labor and Protection of Minor and Female Employees" and "Regulations for Freedom of Occupational Choice, Humane Treatment and Non-Discrimination" have been established, and updates the same in a timely manner in response to policy amendments, if any.

MiTAC also respects employees' right to freedom of association. Employees can freely choose whether to join trade unions or other representative organizations. We support employees in legal and peaceful collective bargaining. Currently, collective bargaining and union coverage are 61.7%, with employees in mainland China being the main participants. Other employees in Taiwan, the United States, or other regions not covered by collective agreements have their working conditions and employment terms determined in accordance with local labor laws, labor-management meetings, labor contracts, or work rules. We have established transparent communication channels, and regularly hold cross-level meetings, communication meetings with managers at all levels, and labor-management meetings, thus creating a positive two-way communication mechanism to ensure that employees can provide opinions and suggestions at any time.

In order to promote the employees' understanding of legal labor rights, the Company has incorporated human rights education into the compulsory training for all employees and compiled training materials that cover the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. In addition to being mandatory for new employees, refresher training is conducted annually for all staff to enhance their awareness of human rights management. In 2024, 4,436 person-times participated in RBA training, totalling 6,263.4 hours.

Human Rights Policy: 

Communication and Complaints Mechanism

MiTAC values every employee's opinions and has established diverse communication channels in various offices and plants to promote transparent and effective internal dialogue, thus ensuring that every employee's voice can be heard. For all cases, when the complaint handling unit receives an employee complaint or opinion, regardless of whether it is anonymous, it ensures thorough understanding, attentive listening, and proper handling. We protect the anonymity of the complainants and require relevant departments to address the issues or convene groups to propose improvement plans. We inform the complainants of the outcomes and conduct fair investigations and handling, ensuring that employee opinions are heard and addressed impartially.

MiTAC has also established a procedure for handling complaints and reports. Employees can report any illegal, unethical, or non-compliant behavior within the Company, as well as any instances of unfair treatment or violations of their rights, through various channels such as the employee suggestion mailbox, complaint hotline, and SpeakOut email. All complaints are forwarded to the responsible unit for handling, and employees are communicated with throughout the process while maintaining confidentiality.

Human Rights Risk Assessment

MiTAC references relevant human rights issues from the United Nations and international communities, identifying human rights risks related to stakeholders. A comprehensive assessment is conducted based on the likelihood and impact of human rights risks to identify, mitigate, and compensate for these risks. Regarding suppliers' human rights risk management, we raise their awareness of human rights issues by establishing a "Supplier Code of Conduct" and requiring them to sign a "Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment". Labor-intensive suppliers may pose higher human rights risks.
