Human Right Policy Implementation
- Eliminate all forms of forced labor.
- Do not hire child labor.
- Comply with the labor laws and provide remuneration in accordance with the legal requirements.

- Ensure employees’ rights to freely associate with trade unions at all operational points.
- Promote employees’ rights and interests in terms of gender equality and equal pay for equal work in the workplace, and to oppose all forms of discrimination.
Diversity and Gender Equality
SiRUBA does not select employees based on gender, age, religion, ethnicity, or political stance. We recruit openly through job banks, hiring based on professional qualifications and suitability, focusing solely on talent. However, due to the nature of our industry, which belongs to the machinery sector, the proportion of male employees is higher than that of female employees at our Taoyuan and Gaoyin factories. Additionally, we do not employ child labor.
Employee Diversity Statistics
Note: Percentage of non-managerial staff under 30 years of age = (Total number of direct employees aged under 30 at the end of the year / Total number of employees) *100%;
The formula for calculating the percentage of managerial staff with postgraduate qualifications is as follows:
(Total number of managerial staff with institute qualifications in the year / Total number of employees at the end of the year) * 100%.
