Establishment of a Safety and Health Management Mechanism

To enhance the safety and health management of the group and ensure compliance with legal regulations and company policies, we urge each subsidiary to promote occupational safety and health management systems and demonstrate effective management through system verification. We have implemented an auditing and counseling mechanism to improve internal management processes for subsidiary companies or office locations that have not yet been verified.

    • The overseas branches are low-risk offices, with the Indonesian branch already undergoing management system verification

Implementation of Safety and Health Supervision and Management

In order to effectively implement occupational health and safety management, we have designated various safety and health management personnel to carry out related duties according to their responsibilities. Additionally, we have established an ESH working group to promote the occupational health and safety management system in accordance with safety and health operation standards. This includes conducting workplace hazard identification and risk assessments annually, as well as investigating risks and opportunities related to stakeholders. For high-risk and high-opportunity projects, we set management objectives and then track improvement plans. Furthermore, we execute annual plans, which include regulatory identification, self inspections, chemical management, and operation environment monitoring, to ensure compliance and meet safety and health requirements.   

To instill the importance of employee safety and health, we employ a range of communication methods, educational training,
emergency response procedures, and other channels to gradually enhance awareness. Simultaneously, we guide employees to
prioritize their own health through a three-pronged approach of health check-ups, health management, and health promotion.
Together, we address abnormal health check results to shape the image of a healthy enterprise.

In order to prioritize the safety of outsourced personnel, we encourage our business partners to collaborate with us on
occupational safety and health matters. Each year, we carry out audits on both stationed and regular contracts. For renovation
projects that involve high risks, we employ project contracting management to prevent occupational accidents at Acer's
workplace. Furthermore, we consistently share pertinent safety and health information to promote knowledge dissemination and
awareness, and collectively establish a secure working environment for our workers.

Constructing a Healthy Workplace Culture

We believe that the health of our employees is a key indicator of corporate sustainability, and Acer Taiwan has dedicated and contracted medical staff to implement health protection programs through annual health checkups, health management, health promotion, and occupational injury and illness prevention to protect the health of our employees. At the same time, we combine the resources of the Employee Relations Department, the Welfare Committee, the Fitness Center and other units to organize a variety of physical and mental health care activities to strengthen employees' attention to health and build a healthy workplace culture.

Strengthening Safety and Health Strengthen safety and health execution and inspection
 

 

In order to ensure the effective implementation of occupational health and safety operations, we regularly convene ESH working
group meetings and occupational health and safety committees. These meetings provide a platform for labor representatives to
participate, consult, and supervise, while also allowing us to track the progress and effectiveness of operational execution through
measurement mechanisms. Additionally, we conduct an annual audit process, which includes internal audits, management review
meetings, external audit schedules, and coordination of related matters, to ensure the participation of all staff.

Ensure the Extension of Safety and Health Performance

 

In order to continuously improve safety and hygiene performance, we have set short-term, medium-term, and long-term
management goals. We annually monitor the progress of these goals and make necessary adjustments to align with changing
trends. To address non-conformance issues identified during internal and external audits in the fiscal year, we tracked and
completed corrective and preventive actions within the specified time frame. These issues will also be prioritized for audits in the
following year to prevent any future non-conformance.
Compliance is a fundamental requirement of our management system. According to statistics, Acer Taiwan did not incur any
penalties from government agencies in 2023.
 

We take every accident in the workplace seriously. When an accident is reported, we provide health care to the injured employee, initiate investigation with labor representatives, develop corrective measures and conduct internal promotion to prevent recurrence of the accident.


In relation to global occupational injury statistics, data collection was carried out in accordance with the GRI 403 standards. The
analysis reveals that falls are the most common type of occupational injury, followed by burns and injuries caused by human factors. No cases of occupational diseases were reported in 2023.

    • Recordable occupational injury rate: (number of recordable occupational injuries/hours worked)*200,000
    • The number of occupational diseases: must be approved by medical institutions.
  3. Working hours: Since our offices are located in many countries around the world, for the sake of consistency, the calculation is based on 248 working days in Taiwan * 8 hours of work per day * total number of people in each location.
  4. Three cases of occupational diseases are from EMEA.
