Social Responsibility

Human rights policy

Visco commits to reviewing the relevant requirements of corporate social responsibility standards to high standards and adhering to the ten principles of the UN Global Compact. It is dedicated to promoting human rights by ensuring that no harm is done to human rights, promoting freedom of association, eliminating forced labor, abolishing child labor, and eliminating discrimination in employment and occupation. Visco is committed to fostering a human rights-friendly environment and preventing workplace bullying and harassment.

On our official website, a communication and complaint channel has been established to foster a caring and respectful corporate environment. In the past three years, reports and discussions have been conducted on labor welfare, improving work efficiency, and promoting labor-management cooperation. Examples include: reducing the interval for regular employee health check-ups from three years to two years to focus on employees' health; providing parking subsidies for cars and motorcycles to help employees with commuting issues; introducing employee stock ownership trusts and childcare subsidies through the Welfare Committee. These measures, along with reports and explanations, help labor and management representatives understand and communicate effectively, thereby enhancing the overall salary and welfare levels of employees.
