Corporate Social Responsibility

Management Commitment
Patech's management is committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights and integrating human rights considerations into business decisions, operations, and supply chain management.
Patech, as a member of the global village, has the fundamental responsibility to uphold human rights and foster a safe, equitable, and dignified working environment. This policy is guided by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), UN Global Compact (UNGC), OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct, International Labour Organization (ILO) Core Conventions, and applicable national labor laws.

Prohibition of Forced Labor and Human Trafficking:
We strictly prohibit child labor, forced labor, bonded labor, modern slavery, and human trafficking in all forms. We enforce a "No Recruitment Fees" policy to ensure that no worker pays for their employment, and we prohibit the withholding of workers' identity documents, passports, or wages.
Equal Opportunity:
We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities in recruitment, compensation, promotion, training, and career development.

Harassment-Free and Non-Discriminatory Workplace:
We strictly prohibit workplace harassment, discrimination, and gender-based violence in any form to safeguard the psychological and physical well-being of our workforce. We prohibit discrimination based on race, color, nationality, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, political opinion, or any other protected characteristic.

Wages and Decent Conditions:
We provide competitive wages that meet or exceed the statutory minimum wage, while continually striving towards a living wage. We commit to ensuring dignified working and living conditions within our facilities, including providing an ergonomically sound workplace, adequate ventilation, unlimited access to clean drinking water, and sanitary rest areas.

Occupational Health and Safety:
We are committed to preventing occupational injuries and illnesses through risk assessment, hazard control, safety training, emergency preparedness, and continuous improvement of occupational health and safety performance.

Freedom of Association and Communication:
We respect the right to freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining in accordance with applicable laws and ILO Core Conventions. We support employees to form groups and to participate in group activities, and allow direct communication with company management without fear of threats, discrimination, or retaliation.

Working Hours and Leave Benefits:
Working hours, overtime, rest periods, and leave entitlements shall comply with applicable laws and collective agreements. All overtime shall be voluntary and compensated in accordance with legal requirements. We encourage employees to take paid leave and provide holiday subsidies for employees and their families.

Supply Chain Accountability and Due Diligence:
We conduct risk-based human rights due diligence throughout our supply chain and may require corrective action plans, audits, or supplier disengagement where serious violations are identified. We strictly require our suppliers to ensure that there are no violations of human rights or modern slavery, and that they provide safe and decent living conditions—including adequate housing and infrastructure—for their own workforce (especially migrant labor). Furthermore, suppliers must respect and protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, fully adhering to the principles of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) across all land-use and extraction activities.

Grievance Mechanism, Remediation, and Non-Retaliation:
To report violations of any human rights policy, please email us at hr@patechfc.com.tw. We welcome and accept anonymous reports, and we guarantee a strict non-retaliation policy to ensure the safety and confidentiality of whistleblowers. All reported grievances will undergo strict and confidential investigation. Where adverse human rights impacts are identified, appropriate remediation and corrective actions will be implemented. Aggregated grievance statistics and significant cases may be disclosed through appropriate public reporting channels while protecting confidentiality and personal privacy.
