The Company has a mission to create a life community filled with a sense of “accomplishment” and “well-being”, and creation of a human-oriented friendly working environment is critical for the employees to achieve the mission. In the personnel administration, we uphold the principle and attitude of “care and respect” to shape harmonious working atmosphere. Hence, we have established the “Human Rights Policy of Chipbond Technology Corporation” pursuant to the Labor Standards Act, the Employment Service Act, the Regulations on the Permission and Administration of the Employment of Foreign Workers, the Report on Protection of the Rights for Workers in Taiwan (revised in 2022), and the internationally recognized basic human rights of workers (including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Declaration on Basic Principles and Rights at Work, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Responsible Business Alliance). With those policies, we are committed to the issues such as freedom of choosing occupations, young labor, working hours, remuneration and welfare, humane treatment, non-discrimination, and freedom of association. For these, we have established personnel regulations, systems, and work rules as the standards for management of the personnel.
