Human Rights Due Diligence

Human Rights Due Diligence

Policies and Commitments

Wistron’s human rights policy underscores its support and compliance with international labor and human rights standards, such as the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, International Labor Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct, etc. The policy applies to all Wistron stakeholders, including the Company and our supply chain, partners, joint ventures, etc., and also clearly describes the content of human rights commitments and related management principles.



Human Rights Due Diligence

To ensure effective implementation of human rights policies in all Wistron locations around the world, we established a human rights due diligence management procedure (shown in figure above) in 2020. Starting from 2021, we have conducted annual due diligence for the Company's own operating scope (such as employees, direct activities, products and services). A complete management cycle is implemented every year in order to establish a consistent culture and behavioral standards for the entire group that effectively manage and reduce human rights risks and truly respond to company policies and the expectations of all stakeholders.

Based on the 2023 human rights risk assessment, Wistron targeted several major human rights issues in 2024 and  required each site to formulate risk mitigation measures and regularly track progress toward relevant indicators. Focusing on human rights issues such as "at least 1 day off in 7 days," "<60 total working hours per week," "payroll
accuracy," "protection of young workers," and other human rights issues, we proposed 40 optimization measures across 25 sites.

In comparison to the proportion of items rated as medium-to-high risk in RBA audits, all indicator ratios in 2024 remained below 1%, demonstrating effective control and no significant anomalies, even with a substantial increase in audited sites (from 9 sites in 2023 to 25 sites in 2024). (Refer to the table below for consolidated data.)
