Community Participation and Social Welfare in 2024
The headquarter of the Company is located at the Neihu Technology Park in Neihu District, Taipei City. Since its establishment, the Company has adhered to the principles of maintaining steady operational growth, creating more employment opportunities, engaging in local community participation and promoting social welfare. We strive to provide our employees with a friendly workplace, a delightful culture, and a safe working environment, which are all in line with our sustainability goals. The Company has been awarded both the Taipei City Middle-aged & Elderly Workers Friendly Enterprise Certification and the 1111 Job Bank Happiness Enterprise Gold Award for two consecutive years. Furthermore, in order to implement the occupational health and safety policies of "law compliance", "hazard prevention", "competence awareness", "continuous improvement", and "total participation", we obtained the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certificate through third party certification in February 2024. In November 2024, we received the same recognition for our management system from third party certification after expanding our inspecting locations to the Taoyuan Hou Sheng Storage Center. This ensured that our employees can contribute in a safe and sound workplace, which responds to the SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) of the United Nations.
As of December 2024, most of our employees at the Neihu headquarter live in Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung, Yilan, and Taoyuan, totaling around 444 people, and others in Hsinchu, Taichung, and Kaohsiung offices amount to 22 people in total.
This corresponds to our effort in ensuring that the Company offers employment opportunities and welfare coverage for the community. The Company is committed to community engagement, with a focus on the residential distribution of our employees while extending our efforts to other regions and underserved areas. Our community participation, industry-academia collaboration, and technology talent development span across Taiwan, responding to the SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 17 (Partnerships) of the United Nations.
