ESG
Message from the President
Over the past few years, the extreme weather around the world has become more and
more devastating to human, for instance, in 2021, Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province,
China saw a year’s worth of rain in just three days; in August 2022, heavy rain battered South
Korea's capital. Climate change is an issue that the world must face without delay. To mitigate
the impact, the international community is actively promoting the“Net Zero Emissions by
2050”target.
As a part of the earth village, MERIDA definitely will not stay out of this. In order to
mitigate the risks caused by climate change, the Company has responded to Product Carbon
Footprint Demonstration Project initiated by the Environmental Protection Administration
Executive Yuan as early as in 2011, sparing no effort in promoting Carbon Footprint Labelling.
In addition, the Company has implemented a number of energy-saving facilities, e.g., the
lighting fixtures were replaced with energy-saving LED lights, as well as set up a parking lot and
shower room for bicycles in factories to encourage employees to ride their bicycles to and from
work instead of driving automobile and motorcycle to reduce carbon emissions. The Company
also adopted a 1.62-hectare air quality purification zone in Changhua County. Moreover, in the
hope of contributing to the mitigation of climate risks caused by greenhouse gases, MERIDA
has in 2023 introduced Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory and Carbon Footprint.
With ESG receiving global attention, investors hope to assess the value of a company not
only from financial data such as gross margin and EPS, but also from non-financial information
such as the ESG Sustainability Report, which exhibit the company's competitiveness for
sustainable development. In view of this, the Company also established the "MERIDA
ESG Promotion Committee" in 2022, led by the President, who will lead the heads of each
department to implement sustainable development issues and prepare the company’s
sustainability reports in accordance with international GRI standards to regularly disclose
relevant information to stakeholders.
Our expectations for ESG are as follows:
Environmental(E):Adoption of green packaging materials, optimization of manufacturing
processes, introduction of electronic administrative systems, reduction of paper use, etc., to
reduce carbon emissions; Social(S):To continuously protect labor rights and interests, such as
year-end bonus payments, labor/management meetings, strengthening labor/management
relations, and participating in community welfare activities, etc., and Governance(G):To attach
importance to the governance of the Board of Directors, the improvement of operational
performance to protect shareholders' rights and interests, compliance with laws and
regulations, and to promote ethical corporate management. During this upsurge of concern
on sustainability, MERIDA is willing to join forces with everyone to contribute to a sustainable
environment!
Sustainability Policies and Promises
With regard to responsible business practices, MERIDA not only maintains smooth
communication channels with its creditors, employees, consumers, suppliers, communities,
or other stakeholders of the Company, but also respects and protects their legitimate rights
and interests, and also set up a dedicated“Stakeholders”section on the Company website.
In the event of infringement of the stakeholders’legitimate rights and interests, the Company
will uphold the principle of integrity and handle them appropriately. In addition, to implement
human rights protection, the Company meticulously abides by the Labor Standards Act, the
Act of Gender Equality in Employment and other employment-related laws and regulations.
For instances, MERIDA does not hire children under the age of 15 as employees. In the case
of childbirth, MERIDA provides paid maternity leaves. MERIDA also establishes or discloses
preventive measures, complaints, and disciplinary measures against sexual harassment
besides prohibiting restrictions on the basis of gender, religion, age, race during recruitment
and interview, etc. MERIDA has yet to adopt the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code
of Conduct and the relevant human rights policies, hence has not implemented the Human
Rights Due Diligence (HRDD). Nevertheless, MERIDA intends to introduce the relevant policies
in the future and is now progressively planning for the preparation to adopt HRDD.
Furthermore, MERIDA has also joined forces with suppliers to implement the
sustainable development policies including environmental protection, human rights
protection, and resources recycling. During suppliers’selection, MERIDA gives priority to
suppliers who implement human rights requirements and policies. To state MERIDA’s position
on this, the Company will revise the“ Third-party Vendors Application Form”in 2023, whereby
preparation of the ESG Report will be one of the criteria for the suppliers’ selection, as well
as to include ethical corporate management principles and anti-corruption clauses in the
procurement contracts. In the future, MERIDA will gradually make planning for the relevant
policies to extend the concept of ESG to all third-party vendors and fulfill our corporate
social responsibility.
The Company has worked out the Regulations on Prevention, Complaint and
Punishment of Sexual Harassment at Workplace in accordance with the Act of Gender
Equality in Employment and the Regulations for Establishing Measures of Prevention,
Correction, Complaint and Punishment of Sexual Harassment at Workplace, so as to provide
a work environment free of sexual harassment and to protect the rights and privacy of the
persons involved. If any of the employees is proven to be guilty of sexual harassment, the
Company would decide the punishment in accordance with the Company’s rules and relevant
regulations, subject to the seriousness of the situation.
The abovementioned Regulations has been published on the Company’s online
platforms for the employees’reference. To prevent sexual harassment, the Company
organizes education and training from time to time and posts the latest information on
bulletin boards. Each department also strengthens the promotion of prevention of sexual
harassment and complaint channels through departmental meetings and internal documents,
so that all employees are able to comprehend how the Company value and protect the
employee’s rights and interest, so as to implement gender equality and to maintain an
egalitarian and safe workplace. MERIDA conducts pre-employment education and training
for the newcomers, which includes training on the awareness against sexual harassment
prevention. However, the education and training were suspended in 2022 due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and is to resume in 2023. In the event of causing negative impacts on the
economy, environment, and people (including human rights), the Company has the following
measures for improvement in place:
1. Pursue sustainable development and proactively implement corporate social
responsibilities, so as to build transparent and effective communication with the
stakeholders, continuously review the effectiveness of the Company’s implementation
of corporate social responsibilities through understanding and responding to the
stakeholders’concerns in a timely manner, and promptly refining the relevant policies
and systems.
2. In addition to maintaining interaction with stakeholders through various channels
in daily business activities, MERIDA has set up a“Investor Info”section on the
Company’s website, as well as a dedicated“Stakeholders”section on the Company
website, to offer yet another channel of communication between the stakeholders
and the Company, and has the dedicated department responding appropriately to
the comments and feedback from stakeholders.
In order to implement and promote sustainable development, MERIDA has in 2022
established the ”MERIDA ESG Promotion Committee ”to work on corporate governance, risk
management, corporate social responsibilities, climate change policies, and environmental
protection. The Committee is also dedicated to grasping the global sustainable development
trends and concentrating on sustainability issues such as corporate governance,
environmental protection, corporate social responsibilities, etc., and integrating the operation
targets to form a strategic sustainable direction to execute relevant programs. Our Chairman
being the highest management representative of the Committee is the person who oversee
the formulation of sustainable development policies and concrete implementation plans
and leads the teams to boost the implementation efficiency of all departments so that every
sustainable management work can be implemented efficiently, which will enhance the
overall effectiveness of implementing corporate sustainability and social responsibility across
departments, allowing sustainable business practices to be more effectively implemented.
Our President, Tseng Shang-Yuan is the chairperson of the”MERIDA ESG Promotion Committee
”while our Chairman acts as the advisory member and supervisor of the implementation
progress.
