Commitments and Principles

  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
    Quanta is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace, recognizing employee diversity as a key asset for corporate innovation and sustainable development. We respect all employees regardless of gender, age, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, marital status, or physical and mental characteristics, and treat every employee and partner with equality and fairness to ensure a respectful and inclusive workplace. Through education and training, we enhance employees' understanding of and respect for diverse cultures, and establish diverse communication mechanisms to promote mutual understanding and support among employees, teams, and management, fostering a corporate culture of open communication and collaboration. We are committed to working with stakeholders to advance the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, enabling every employee to work in a fair, safe, and respectful environment, and laying the foundation for sustainable and inclusive development of both the Company and society.
  • Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment
    Quanta firmly opposes all forms of discrimination and harassment and is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful work environment. We comply with international human rights standards and the regulations of all operating locations to ensure that every employee is treated fairly and enjoys workplace dignity. Quanta establishes and implements clear anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies, provides education and training to enhance employees' awareness of equality and respect, and has established confidential grievance channels to ensure that any related incidents can be promptly investigated and properly handled.
  • Equal Pay for Equal Work
    Quanta is committed to fully upholding the principle of equal pay for equal work, ensuring that employees are not treated differently based on gender, age, race, religion, nationality, marital status, or any other personal characteristic, and receive fair compensation for the same position and job responsibilities or work of equal value. We establish compensation systems in accordance with international human rights principles and the regulations of all operating locations, and conduct regular internal reviews to ensure fairness and compliance. At the same time, we strengthen a workplace culture of diversity, inclusion, and equality through education and awareness programs. To support the implementation of equal pay principles, the Human Resources Department annually compiles compensation data by job grade and department and conducts preliminary reviews of compensation across genders to understand the overall compensation structure and identify potential differences. The results serve as a reference for the Company's ongoing review of compensation system consistency and fairness. Based on actual management needs, Quanta will progressively strengthen the review and tracking mechanisms for compensation differences to continually promote a fair and competitive compensation management system.
  • Prohibition of Forced Labor, Human Trafficking, and Child Labor
    Quanta strictly prohibits all forms of human trafficking and forced labor and ensures that all labor and services are performed voluntarily. No individual shall be compelled to work through violence, coercion, confinement, retention of identity documents, or any other punitive means. Employment age requirements must comply with the minimum legal age requirements of each operating location, and child labor is strictly prohibited. If child labor is discovered, immediate remediation and support measures will be implemented. For workers under the age of 18, Quanta also ensures that they do not engage in night work or any hazardous work in order to protect their health and safety.
  • Working Hours Management
    Except in emergencies or special circumstances, Quanta complies with the working hour regulations applicable in each operating location and does not exceed statutory working-hour limits. As a general principle, total weekly working hours, including overtime, shall not exceed 60 hours, and employees shall be entitled to at least one day off every seven days. The Company monitors and controls working hours through its human resources system to prevent excessive working hours beyond legal requirements, and all overtime or extended working hours must be voluntary.
  • Living Wage and Benefits
    Quanta strictly complies with wage-related regulations in each operating location, pays wages on time, and aims to meet local living wage standards to ensure that employee compensation is sufficient to cover basic living needs.

In addition, employee rights are protected in accordance with the law, including overtime compensation and various forms of paid leave (such as public holidays and paid annual leave). All overtime pay is calculated in accordance with applicable laws, included in monthly payroll payments, and monitored and controlled through the human resources system to ensure accurate and timely payment.
  • Freedom of Association and Communication
    Quanta respects all employees' legal rights under the laws and regulations of each operating location, including the rights to freedom of association, to organize or choose not to join labor unions, to engage in collective bargaining, and to participate in peaceful assemblies. We are committed to establishing ongoing and effective two-way communication mechanisms between employees and management, creating an environment in which employees can freely express opinions, raise concerns, and provide suggestions. Communication channels are established in accordance with applicable laws to ensure that employees can exercise their rights without discrimination, retaliation, threats, or harassment. If large-scale layoffs become necessary due to economic factors, Quanta will handle severance, termination, and notice period requirements in accordance with applicable labor laws and statutory procedures. Affected employees will be notified in advance as required, with notice periods determined according to applicable regulations for each case and generally not exceeding 60 days.
