Human Rights Management Responsibility & Dedicated Department

    The ultimate decision-making authority regarding Kamtec's human rights management rests with the Human Resources Committee, in which the CEO or decision-makers from major departments participate. The Human Resources Committee has roles and responsibilities for the following matters:
    - Reviewing and determining the enactment and amendment of the Human Rights Management Charter
    - Providing opinions on amending relevant internal regulations, such as the HR system, employment rules, and audit standards
    - Conducting human rights risk assessments and recommending corrective actions based on the results
    - Ordering investigations into cases of human rights violations and deliberating on remedy measures
    - Other matters deemed necessary for the protection of human rights

  • 2Operation of a Dedicated Department for Human Rights Management Implementation

    Kamtec organizes and operates a dedicated department in charge of human rights management to systematically administer the Human Rights Charter. The dedicated department may perform the following duties:
    - Preparing drafts for the enactment and amendment of the Human Rights Charter
    - Executing and operating human rights management
    - Operating reporting channels for human rights violations
    - Conducting internal training and reporting, etc.

Operation of Grievance Redress Mechanisms

  • 1Reporting & Receipt of Human Rights Violations

    Kamtec operates channels to receive reports on human rights violations from executives, employees, and other individuals or organizations (whistleblowers/reporters) who have suffered violations or are aware of human rights risks. Upon receiving a report, relevant primary departments shall deliberate on specific remedy measures tailored to the unique characteristics of each case.

  • 2Processing of Human Rights Violation Reports

    Kamtec strives to seek the best possible remedies with support from the Legal Team, referencing judicial precedents, regulations of relevant competent authorities, past internal handling practices, and other industry customs. If a human rights violation case significantly affects the victim's freedoms and rights, or is highly likely to escalate into corporate reputational risk, remedy measures may be discussed in the Human Resources Committee with the participation of the CEO and other key leadership.
