（1） Employee Health and Care
1-1. Healthy work environment
(1) In order to provide a healthier work environment for its
employees, HTC has set up a health center to provide
employee health care, wellness promotion, health
management, and related consulting. Regular checkups
are provided (new employee physical exams, yearly
exams, and special exams). Health management includes
setting up basic health data files, follow-up exams
and tracking for reported problems, analysis of yearly
check-up data, management of chronic conditions, and
interviews and follow-up on special conditions. Other
services provided to help safeguard employee health
include first-aid training, health care provided through
consultation with a resident physician, prevention of
occupational illnesses, epidemic prevention, and sharing
of health education information.
(2) Lifestyle diseases are usually the result of a buildup of
long-ignored danger signals. HTC's health center works
together with other health care providers to help track
and provide diagnosis and treatment to employees
belonging to high-risk groups, and assists employees
with prevention and management of any such conditions
through accurate understanding and lifestyle changes. In
addition, with facilities such as the health center, library,
fitness center, massage rooms/stations, and multi-sport
playing field, HTC also provides employees with outlets
for relieving pressure so that they can develop the habit
of exercising and taking care of their own well-being.
(3) The HTC fitness center, parent-child activities area, and
outdoor multi-sport playing field are open full-time
during holidays for use by employees and their families,
providing a space for the employees to enjoy leisure
activities, and to enhance employees' family and parent-
child relationships.
(4) HTC also creates a smoke-free working environment,
providing information on giving up tobacco and activities
for smokers wanting to quit.
(5) Through promoting awareness of a healthy diet by the
HTC health center and with the help of meal suppliers,
HTC provides its employees with information on healthy
diets, with the goal that, through proper healthy diets, its
employees can reduce the impacts of modern "diseases
of civilization," and metabolic syndromes.

9. Corporate Social Responsibility
Report
HTC upholds the ideals of comprehensive environmental
protection, health and safety, and energy management, and
we strive to provide and maintain a safe and healthy working
environment for our employees. In line with these basic
commitments, HTC will abide by the following basic ideas,
in order to create a better quality of life for its employees,
customers, suppliers, and contractors, and to achieve the
goal of sustainable corporate development:
• HTC values equally environmental protection, safety
and health, production, quality and effective energy
management.
• HTC values equally the safety and health of its employees,
customers, suppliers and contractors.
• HTC requires that its employees comply with guidelines
and operation procedures regarding environmental
protection, safety and health, and energy management.
• HTC commits to eliminate any foreseeable risks and to
carry out damage control.
• HTC abides by the requirements of relevant laws and
regulations.
• HTC will, through continuous improvement, carry out and
maintain the systems for environmental protection, safety
and health, and energy management.
To carry out balanced development in environmental
protection, safety and health, energy-use efficiency, and
corporate social responsibility, to implement its consistent
business philosophy of "honest business operations,
employee care, environmental protection, and giving back
to the society," and to encourage all HTC employees to work
together to fulfill the responsibilities of a corporate citizen,
HTC hopes to realize the following commitments:
• HTC will scrupulously abide by all local laws and
regulations.
• HTC will protect employees' work-related rights and
interests and ensure fair employment opportunities.
• HTC will actively participate in energy saving, carbon
reduction, and environmental protection.
• HTC will be transparent in its management.
• HTC will continue to innovate in products and services to
raise the level of customer satisfaction.
• HTC will enhance shareholder interests, while supporting
underprivileged groups, charitable and public service
activities.
HTC maintains excellent corporate governance, fulfills the
responsibilities of a corporate citizen, and upholds a high
ethical standard.
As part of its policy of sustainable management, HTC must
respond to increased production levels and the growth in
its workforce as an aspect of the environmental, safety,
and health issues at its plants. Each year, HTC has received
affirmation from third-party certification institutions for
effective implementation in its plants of the ISO14001,
OHSAS 18001 and ISO50001 standards. HTC also continues
to strengthen its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts
in environmental protection and efficient use of energy.
In addition to the efforts to implement energy-saving
measures at its production facilities in Taoyuan and in
completing carbon emissions inventory and inspection
there, HTC has further extended such measures to other
facilities and completed carbon emissions inventory and
inspection management for 2008 ~ 2011. HTC also hopes to
use the ISO 5001 energy management standard for effective
management and reduction of carbon emissions and their
resulting impact on global climate change.
In energy saving, HTC is reducing electricity use by
implementing time-controlled lighting, installing infrared
sensor switches, and replacing T8 lighting with energy
saving T5 fixtures in plants and offices. From 2010, it has
successively converted to the use of energy saving LED
lighting in its newly built offices and plants in Taoyuan,
Xindian, and Tainan.
HTC continues to reduce the volume of general industrial waste
resulting from its manufacturing processes and to increase
resource recycling. The actual recycling rate for HTC mobile
phones, including reuse and recovery rates and recycling and
recovery rates, far exceeds the requirements of the EU WEEE
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) standards.
In the area of health and safety, HTC strives to reduce the
disabling injury frequency and severity rates by assessing
risks and then adopting necessary response measures,
in order to reduce the rate of accidents occurring due to
manufacturing processes, equipment, working environment,
or chemical exposure.
The aforementioned efforts in environmental protection, safety
and health, and energy efficiency clearly demonstrate HTC's
emphasis on and concern for its social responsibility. This report
lists HTC's efforts in ISO management systems, employee care,
environmental protection, and charitable activities, as follows,
as part of attaining the goal of sustainable management.
