ESG sustainable development

        ESG is an abbreviation word that consists of three aspects on Environmental, Social responsibility and Governance, use to evaluate sustainability performance of enterprise, the core of social responsibility lies in "human rights" and "fairness," focusing on how a company's policies or actions affect individuals and society, and whether the company values the rights of stakeholders (such as raw material suppliers, vendors, and end customers).

        Since it's establishment in 1974, HIGHLY has adhered to our national and international law with high ethical standard and actively comply with the industry-related responsibilities regulations, even we are not a member of Responsible Business Alliance(RBA), we are volunteer to support EICC ethics principle which include labor, health and hygiene, safety,environment, ethics and governance system.

        In the electronics industry, metals such as tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold, and cobalt are widely used in products and are essential materials. According to a survey conducted by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), rebel groups in the mining areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries acquire minerals through illegal means such as forced labor and the exploitation of child labor, selling them in exchange for weapons, which leads to regional instability. Using these minerals as raw materials equates to indirectly oppressing and harming local human rights and living conditions. Therefore, the international community refers to minerals obtained through illegal operations as "conflict minerals".

        Prospecting the future, HIGHLY as a part of industry supply chain, will use the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template(CMRT) published by RMI as a standard to survey all supplier’s status of mineral usage. This is to avoid any use of illegal raw material in our products, adhering to the highest standards of respect and human right. In terms of environment, HIGHLY will actively comply with any international green regulations and Taiwan government’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. We commit to continuously protecting environment, valuing society and valuing company governance, keep moving towards sustainable operation.
