In recent years, the world has been severely threatened, and terrorist attacks have occurred around the world. Based on the concept of caring for human society and sustainable development of enterprises, as well as customer expectations, PSMC is implementing corporate social responsibility step by step, establishing a management system, and continuously improving from inspection.

 

The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), is a nonprofit organization comprised of electronics, retail, auto and toy companies committed to supporting the rights and wellbeing of workers and communities worldwide affected by the global supply chain. RBA members commit and are held accountable to a common Code of Conduct and utilize a range of RBA training and assessment tools to support continual improvement in the social, environmental and ethical responsibility of their supply chains.

 

Viewing this, PSMC’s RBA project was officially launched in early 2021. Systematically review the company's system in terms of labor, health and safety, environment, ethics, and management system risk assessment, verification testing, and compliance with actual operations. Fab P1/2、P3、8A、8B successfully passed the RBA VAP (Validated Audit Process) verification in Q4 of 2023.

 

In 2024, in response to the RBA 8.0 new revision and the P5 new factory entering mass production, consultant guidance has been completed to comply with the new version requirements and strengthen supply chain management. The goal is to have all factories pass RBA VAP by the end of 2025.

 

PSMC announced the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Commitment Letter to demonstrate that we, together with all employees and suppliers, implement and abide by the requirements of the international community and customers, and work together to fulfill the commitment and fill the social responsibility of a world-class enterprise.

 

 

 

Build management system:

The RBA Code consists of five main perspectives: A: Labor Standards; B: Health & Safety; C: Environment; D: Ethics; and E: Management Systems. For this, we have formulated the "RBA Social Responsibility Management Review Measures", "RBA Social Responsibility Performance Target Management Measures", "RBA Social Responsibility Risk Management Measures", "RBA Social Responsibility Correction and Preventive Measures Management Measures", “RBA Social Responsibility Internal Auditing Practices Procedure” and “Management procedure of RBA Social Responsibility Regulations Collection and Identification”. PSMC has been committed to corporate social responsibility for a long time, and has dedicated units for labor, health and safety, environment, and ethics. Through the guidance of the consulting company, we integrated all aspects and formulated rigorous specifications and management processes. With regular self-audit inspections and management review meetings which are held by the President, PSMC will establish continuous improvement methods and create a positive organization spirit.

 

 

Promote RBA spirit to all employees:

For the consideration of customers and the market, quality is the cornerstone of long-term foothold and growth, and is deeply rooted in the employees’ mind. RBA takes "human rights" as its main axis and highly echoes the "UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights" and the "Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work" of the International Labor Organization. Indicator-based international human rights standards such as Work and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

 

 

In light of this, the company’s President has reiterated the RBA's human rights spirit on multiple internal and external occasions. The RBA promotion team hung posters in distinctive places as reminders. When there is an RBA audit, the Company takes chances to emphasize the human factor, and implant the RBA spirit into various self-examinations.
