Human Rights Due Diligence
GIS has established a management system based on RBA (Real-Time Assessment Program). This system ensures that GIS policies and internal management meet relevant requirements through regular tracking of legal and regulatory updates and compliance, labor rights and business ethics risk assessments, KPI establishment and tracking, and management reviews.
In addition to regularly conducting RBA Verification Assessment Program (VAP) audits, our company also invites external experts to train GIS internal auditors and implements daily controls to continuously protect the basic human rights of our employees.
GIS's 2025 Labor Rights Risk Assessment included 32 items, covering employee training, recruitment, working hours, salary and benefits, employee relations, and others (such as freedom of association). The primary potential beneficiaries were our own employees and supplier employees. The assessment results were: 0 high-risk items, 2 medium-risk items, and 30 low-risk items. Since no high-risk items were identified, our company will re-examine the suitability of relevant documents, processes, and monitoring plans for the medium-risk items.
Remedial/Mitigation Measures
Low-risk projects → Continuous monitoring according to current management practices.
For example: No child labor incidents occurred in 2025 → If an investigation reveals misuse of child labor (such as identity theft,
use of false ID cards, etc., which went undetected during onboarding), the local Ministry of Labor should be notified immediately.
Remedial measures should be implemented in accordance with local laws, including arranging physical examinations.
With the assistance of the Ministry of Labor, the children should be returned to their place of origin and handed over to their parents or other guardians.If necessary, the company may provide appropriate financial assistance to help them complete their compulsory education.
Medium-risk projects → Work time management (overtime, continuous attendance). The company has implemented work time management and early warning mechanisms after internal review.
*In accordance with the "Labour Human Rights and Business Ethics Risk Assessment Operating Procedures", GIS conducts a systematic assessment of the company's potential human rights risks on an annual basis. For details, please refer to the 2025 Sustainability Report.
In addition to conducting human rights due diligence, GIS employs various forms to support the Prevention, Monitoring, and Mitigation of human rights-related risks for key Stakeholders— Employees, Suppliers, and Customers, and actively identifies any potential overlooked human rights-related risks.
GIS Human Rights Training
To strengthen employees' human rights awareness, GIS regularly conducts "corporate social responsibility" education and training. New employees receive orientation courses on corporate social responsibility and human rights topics, covering content such as an introduction to "corporate social responsibility, the "corporate social responsibility policy," and an introduction to the RBA.

Regular human rights knowledge-enhancement training is also provided for current employees, with on-the-job training totaling 14,465 participants and 12,540 training hours.
