In order to implement high-quality corporate culture and maintain the Company’s image and corporate ethics, iST established the “Ethical Corporate Management Practice Principles” and “Ethical Management Procedure and Guidelines for Ethical Behaviors” in accordance with the “Company Act,” “Securities and Exchanges Act” and “Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies,” committing to implement due diligence on nonconforming behaviors and protect the non-anonymous whistleblower. We regularly review the Company’s “Value,” “Core Competencies” and “Management Competencies,” and request compliance from all relevant personnel, and implement those in the Annual Performance Review Form for employees. For employees who violate the relevant regulations, they shall be handled in accordance with the iST’s specifications for rewards and disciplinary measures.

iST has integrated provisions of fair trade and anti-corruption into the established “Ethical Corporate Management Practice Principles,” and promoted ESG requirements in internal and external operations and business activities throughout the Company through dissemination and training. We also provide all stakeholders with channels for ESG-related complaints and feedback through our “ESH Communication Procedure” to confirm the effectiveness of remedy measures. iST also encourages employees to voice their opinions about the business practices of the company through labor–management meetings.
