Occupational Safety and Health
Occupational Safety and Health Management
ASUS has established a dedicated Environment, Safety and Health (ESH) team to formulate its ASUS Group Social Environmental Responsibility and Safety and Health Policy. Ongoing supervision and management are conducted through hazard identification and risk assessment, training and awareness programs, and emergency drills. To promote participation and enhance workplace safety awareness, ASUS launched the "Workplace GO Safety Incentive System," encouraging employee engagement and supporting the goal of zero incidents. In 2024, the program recorded 15,445 employee participations.
The "Occupational Safety and Health Committee" is composed of 31 members, including 13 labor representatives, and convenes quarterly. Chaired by senior management, the committee jointly reviews occupational safety and health issues with labor representatives to ensure effective communication, strengthen labor-management relations, and foster a diverse, inclusive, and friendly workplace culture.
Occupational Safety and Health Risk Identification
Each year in the fourth quarter, ASUS invites safety and health representatives from each department to jointly conduct “Environmental Considerations and Safety and Health Risk Identification.” This process involves objective, two-way assessments of past incidents, potential hazards, current issues, audit findings, and stakeholder feedback. Based on a comprehensive scoring method, the company determines the “Annual Material Environmental Considerations and Intolerable Risks.”
Occupational Safety and Health Response Drill
During 2024, in addition to fire drill exercises conducted in partnership with the local fire department, the company internally completed 19 training sessions and simulations across 6 emergency scenarios: earthquake, air raid, chemical disaster, typhoon and flood, psychological stress, and indoor pool drowning. To enhance emergency preparedness, a quarterly "Emergency Response Time-Limited Assessment" is administered to approximately 750 designated personnel company-wide.
Health Management
ASUS adheres to the business philosophy of "inspire, motivate, and nurture employees," by providing annual health check-up service, which is superior to the provisions set out in the "Regulations Governing the Labor Health Protection,"to its employees. In addition, any abnormality discovered in the check-up is analyzed, managed and tracked according to the level of severity. Doctors and nurses regularly monitor the abnormality, assist in medical referrals, and promote various health promotion activities. We believe this could help employees to have a healthy body.
The participation rate of colleagues in the headquarters hit 91% in 2024
With the care and follow-up by occupational health nurses, some 53.8% of individuals with highly high anomalies have completed their re-examinations, treatments or improvements. Additionally, ASUS achieved the goal of sustainable operation of healthy workplaces by partnering with neighboring hospitals, while promoting health activities.
ASUS provides occupational disease prevention and consultation with professional medical specialists for employees, and developed a health management platform to carry out ergonomic hazards, maternity protection, overwork and abnormal health check-ups10 so as to filter at-risk groups. Intervention care would be offered by nurses, occupational safety personnel, and human resources personnel, and were necessary, clinical consultations would be arranged to execute the prevention and management of occupational diseases. Occupational specialists have stepped in to improve and follow up with personnel with ergonomic hazards, maternity and overwork in 2024.
In addition, the company organizes various health promotion activities, including stair-climbing initiatives, healthy eating promotions, exercise promotion, sports competitions, health seminars, and newsletters, to foster healthy lifestyle habits among employees. In 2024, a total of 3,453 individuals participated in company-sponsored health promotion activities, resulting in an overall participation rate exceeding 46%.

Caring for Female Employees
ASUS provides excellent breastfeeding facilities for its employees, including refrigerators, sterilizers, and sinks. In addition, access is controlled by door access card, individual independent breastfeeding spaces, and emergency call phones to enhance privacy and safety. It has also passed the special excellent certification of the breastfeeding room. In 2024, 2,943 women of childbearing age completed workplace safety and health risk assessments and health education and promotion. In addition, 100 pregnant mothers completed operational risk identification, health education and doctor consultation services, and provided good pregnancy gifts, special lounge chairs for pregnant mothers, and love parking spaces to make mothers feel sweet and happy.
In 2024, the return-to-work rate for females after parental leave in the Headquarters and after maternity leave in Mainland China was 78% and 98%, accordingly; the retention rate for females after returning to work for 12 months in the Headquarters and in Mainland China was 88% and 84%, respectfully. The high return to work rate and retention rate in the headquarters and Mainland China show that ASUS would not force females to leave due to pregnancy or parenting and that it is committed to providing a gender equality environment.
