In order to strengthen labor relations, improve the human rights protection system, support and abide by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Global Covenant, etc., and conform to the trend of human rights in the world, Tang Eng Company has formulated a human rights policy to protect and promote the realization of all human rights of all employees. The important principles are as follows:

Gender equality in work right
In terms of salary, benefits, evaluation and promotion, we don't have any different treatment based on gender or married or not.
Diversified employees

Supplier/Contractor Human Rights Protection and Management
Tang Eng Company explicitly states in its "Contractor Safety and Health Management Regulations" that contractors must not employ workers under fifteen years old without labor insurance qualifications, nor allow individuals under eighteen years old to engage in hazardous or harmful work, to protect the work rights of minors. In the future, the company will continue to review and optimize the application of its human rights policy within the supplier/contractor evaluation mechanism.
To ensure the implementation of labor human rights and compliance with the Republic of China's "Labor Standards Act" and "Act of Gender Equality in Employment" and other regulations, we will periodically review the implementation of various issues such as child and underage labor, forced labor, sexual harassment, labor-management communication, and freedom of expression in 2024 in accordance with client needs. We also arrange for employees to participate in relevant human rights policy training during this period. For example, in 2024, to promote equality in gender work rights, we held courses on understanding diverse genders, workplace bullying, and sexual harassment prevention. Additionally, to promote and protect employee rights, we held awareness courses related to human resources systems and regularly convene labor-management meetings.
Tang Eng Company adheres to the concept that employees are the most important assets of the enterprise, attaches great importance to employee salaries and benefits, respects the harmonious relationship between the labor union and the Company, and regards employee care as one of the basic responsibilities of the Company. Only in this way can it stabilize the cornerstone of the Company’s sustainable management.
In order to protect the rights and interests of employees, and to meet the needs of employees in their work and management, and in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Standards Act, the Employee Work Rules are clearly stipulated. Matters such as safety and health have been clearly set out and reported to the competent authorities for approval, protecting 100% of employees. In addition, work-related rules and various personnel management regulations have been formulated, and group agreements are signed with labor unions.
