The Company is committed to providing employees with a dignified and safe working environment. We implement diversity in hiring, fairness in compensation and promotion opportunities, and ensure that employees are not subject to discrimination, harassment, or unequal treatment based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, age, political affiliation, place of birth, physical or mental disability, or any other status protected by applicable laws. We are dedicated to achieving equal pay for equal work and equal promotion opportunities for both men and women.

For direct labor positions, the basic salary ratio between men and women is 1:1. For indirect labor positions, the basic salary ratio is 1:1.24 (male to female), primarily due to differences in roles with men more frequently in R&D and sales roles, and women mainly in administrative and clerical positions as well as differences in seniority.
