Human Rights Assessment and Response

 

When it comes to human rights inside the company and its global sites, PixArt not only requests employees to abide by international human rights norms and local laws, but our Corporate Social Responsibility Committee regularly conducts human rights assessments, plans promotional themes, examines potential risks, and implements risk control and measures. We collect and look into possible human rights issues and recognize human rights risks through various communication channels such as employee opinion mailboxes, newcomer care interviews, and employee satisfaction surveys. We regularly identify employee occupational safety and health risks and entrust third-party verification agencies to conduct audits, with audit results provided to the company's management and external customers. In addition, we cooperate actively with our suppliers, requesting them to treat employee human rights seriously with reasonable working hours, prohibition of child labor, and gender equality. Regular audits are conducted at our supplier end to eliminate the possibility of violation of human rights.

 

Education Training

 

PixArt regularly publicizes the company's "Human Rights Policy" and "Corporate Social Responsibility Policy" to employees through education and training. This helps to explicitly convey the company's commitment to incorporating social responsibility and embodying corporate values ​​and duties that supports employees' human rights, health, and safety. In addition, PixArt has also formulated personnel selection policies (prohibition of child labor) and sexual harassment prevention measures to eliminate any inhumane treatment that aims to protect human rights with practical actions, including sexual harassment, corporal punishment, discrimination, psychological coercion, or verbal abuse.

 

Environmental and Occupational Safety

 

PixArt complies with ISO14001 and ISO 45001 for its own environmental, health, and safety systems and ensures that its suppliers meet various regulations and international environment protection standards.

 As a professional IC design company that outsources most of its production to foundry companies, PixArt poses a limited environmental impact throughout its internal work procedures. The main waste types generated by PixArt's business activities are scrap metal and packaging materials. All PixArt's business wastes are appropriately and adequately stored/managed by professional waste treatment companies. These companies legally hold a permit from the local Environment Protection Association for waste removal and treatment, ensuring that our wastes are handled according to the regulations. Internally, all rubbishes are divided and recycled to minimize waste generation as a daily act to reduce our environmental impact.

 

 
 

Employee Safety Awareness and Training

 

PixArt employees receive Health and Safety training during orientation and participate in fire drills every six months. PixArt also runs Automated External Defibrillator (AED) workshops regularly to increase survival rate at critical times. By complying with and exceeding the requirements of the necessary environmental, health, and safety regulations, we show our commitment to our fellow employees and ensure that our goals are fulfilled in a self-driven and bottom-up approach.

 

Smooth Communication Channels

 

PixArt prioritizes fostering a harmonious relationship between the company and our colleagues. We have established diversified and seamless two-way communication channels that enable the precise and swift dissemination of company information to our colleagues while ensuring their voices are heard and responded to. Guided by the principles of "listening," "addressing," and "responding," we have created internal platforms such as an employee feedback section and an employee communication mailbox, allowing our colleagues to provide suggestions and feedback regarding the work environment and company policies. After listening attentively and understanding our employees' opinions, we promptly transfer the input to the respective departments responsible for resolving the issues and propose improvement plans within designated timelines.
