Related Procedures and Implementation

  • The Company has established management policies and procedures including the "Ethical Corporate Management Principles," "Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles," "The Code of Ethical Conduct," and "Procedures for Insider Trading Prevention." These documents are available on the Quanta Computer official website under Corporate Governance / Major Internal Policies (https://www.quantatw.com/Quanta/english/corporategovernance/ruleandinfo.aspx) for reference and review.
  • The Company has also established the "Code of Business Conduct" as a code of conduct for employees. It sets forth the standards of conduct that corporate governance personnel and employees are required to follow when performing their daily duties and business activities, with the objective of upholding the Company's ethical standards and reputation. The Human Resources Center reviews the Code annually based on actual circumstances to determine whether revisions, modifications, or additions are necessary. Any updates are subject to approval by the President and published on the internal website and conflict-of-interest declaration portal for implementation. In addition to declaring any conflicts of interest upon joining the Company, employees are required to review the Code of Ethics and Business annually and truthfully declare any actual or potential conflicts of interest.
  • In the event of concerns, complaints, or violations related to ethical business conduct, the Company will initiate handling procedures in accordance with internal processes. For cases involving violations of integrity management requirements, the Internal Audit Office will, depending on the nature of the case and actual needs, assist in investigations or audits and track subsequent corrective actions. Relevant handling results may be reported to the Audit Committee as appropriate.
  • The Company continues to strengthen employees' awareness of ethical business conduct, legal compliance, and anti-corruption through training programs and various communication initiatives. Relevant training primarily consists of onboarding programs for new employees and periodic courses for current employees. Topics include conflict-of-interest prevention, information confidentiality, and reporting mechanisms for violations, while also helping employees become familiar with whistleblowing and reporting channels. In addition, the Company continuously promotes awareness through internal announcements, newsletters, management meetings, and departmental communications. Relevant information is also published on the Integrity Communication Channel for employee reference.
  • All employees should remain vigilant regarding any conduct that violates the Code of Business Conduct. When questions arise or violations are discovered, employees have a responsibility to report them to their supervisors, the Human Resources manager, the Internal Audit manager, or through employee grievance channels (which may be submitted either anonymously or by name). The Company will provide appropriate protection to whistleblowers and individuals participating in investigations and will maintain the confidentiality of both the whistleblower's identity and the reported information. The Company adopts a zero-tolerance policy toward any improper conduct arising from whistleblowing to prevent unfair retaliation, threats, or inappropriate treatment and to safeguard whistleblowers' rights and interests.
  • Stakeholders may also use the communication channels on the Quanta Computer website to provide feedback, make inquiries, or report misconduct related to corporate social responsibility or business ethics.
