Human Rights Risk Identification and Assessment

Arizon RFID places great importance on the safety, health, and dignity of all employees. The Company complies with relevant labor laws and international human rights conventions, including the Labor Standards Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the Gender Equality in Employment Act, among other legal requirements. The Company regularly conducts human rights due diligence to identify and assess risks related to human rights issues. The process is as follows:

1. Identification and Assessment Identify and assess actual and potential human rights impacts.
2. Taking Action Implement appropriate measures based on the results of the identification and assessment.
3. Review of Effectiveness Monitor the effectiveness of the measures to ensure they adequately address potential negative human rights impacts.
4. External Communication Disclose how the Company responds to relevant impacts.

Human Rights Due Diligence

Arizon RFID adheres to local labor laws and supports the core principles of international conventions, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Global Compact, and the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles Concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy. Following the guidance of these principles, the Company has established its human rights policy to ensure that all relevant personnel are treated fairly and with dignity. The Company is committed to respecting human rights policies in the recruitment, management, and development of employees.

Arizon RFID refers to international human rights conventions, relevant guidelines, and human rights due diligence reports issued by benchmark companies to consolidate human rights risk issues. The Company then evaluates potential human rights risks along the value chain and incorporates them into the human rights risk assessment process. In the current year, an internal human rights risk assessment was conducted among employees through online and paper-based questionnaires.

The questionnaire evaluates each human rights risk issue based on “likelihood of occurrence” and “severity”. Likelihood is scored as: 0 = will not occur, 1 = low likelihood (1%–30%), 2 = moderate likelihood (31%–60%), 3 = high likelihood (over 61%). Severity is scored as: 0 = no impact, 1 = minor, 2 = serious, 3 = very serious. Based on the survey responses, a human rights risk matrix was generated. The human rights risks were categorized into three levels according to the following criteria:

  • High Risk: Likelihood > 1 and Severity ≥ 2
  • Medium Risk: Likelihood > 1 and Severity < 2
  • Low Risk: Likelihood ≤ 1
A total of 758 questionnaires were collected, including 147 from the Taipei site and 611 from the Yangzhou site.

According to the 2025 internal human rights due diligence results, no medium or high-risk human rights issues were identified. Arizon RFID will continue to monitor potential human rights risks in 2026, strengthen preventive and mitigation measures, and ensure the effectiveness of existing human rights mechanisms. The human rights risk assessment process will be periodically reviewed and updated based on changes in operational conditions and actual needs to continuously enhance human rights management practices.


Human Rights Training

To enhance employees’ awareness of compliance in their daily operations, Arizon RFID annually reviews and updates relevant policies and conducts refresher training to ensure employees follow legal and ethical principles, safeguard company assets, protect corporate interests, and maintain the company’s reputation. These measures also help prevent violations and support sustainable business operations. In addition, the Company organizes and participates in internal and external human rights-related training programs.

In 2025, the Yangzhou site conducted human rights protection training for employees. The total training hours reached 36 hours, with 36 employee participants. Through these training sessions, employees gained a deeper understanding of workplace ethical standards and social responsibilities, which contributed to improving the work environment, enhancing employee quality, and supporting the company’s long-term development.

Policy Implementation (2025)

The Company conducts annual assessments on human rights and workplace diversity to review labor conditions and fairness of treatment across different employee groups. The 2025 assessment results indicated no medium or high-risk human rights issues, demonstrating the effectiveness of current management measures.

Considering the workforce size and operational maturity of each site, the Company disclosed the following 2025 implementation status for major operational locations:

  • Taiwan site: Female employees accounted for approximately 56% of the total workforce, with women holding over 50% of management positions. The workforce spans multiple generations, with employees aged 30–50 forming the core manpower. The Company regularly reviews gender pay differences; in 2025, the average gender pay gap was approximately 5.96%, and the median gap was about 2.78%. The Company also continues to employ persons with disabilities in compliance with regulations, ensuring workplace equality.
  • Yangzhou site: Female employees accounted for approximately 45% of the workforce, with a certain proportion in junior and middle management positions.
