Human Rights Due Diligence and Management

To implement the “ASUS Human Rights Policy,” ASUS referenced the “Human Rights Risks in Business Operations” framework proposed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to investigate human rights-related incidents annually and assess the level of associated risks in operations. The scope of the assessment covers employees and contractors at both the corporate headquarters and all overseas operational sites. In 2024, all identified human rights risk incidents were addressed through investigation and corrective actions. Follow-up monitoring confirmed that no medium-to-highrisk human rights events occurred.

Six dimensions of human rights risks are: Labor rights, Gender equality, Voice and participation, Environmental rights, Governance and security, Product development. Scope of human rights due diligence includes: All global employees, Headquarters contractors, Suppliers.
