Global Citizenship

The corporate philosophy of Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO) is founded on the goal of creating a sustainable business that also provides positive contributions to its communities. While focused on the business objectives, CMO, as a good corporate citizen also aims to fulfill its commitments to the customers, shareholders, employees, the society, and the environment. CMO is aware of many social issues from workers’ human rights, health and safety at the workplace, welfare, health insurance and ethical practices to environmental protection. Not only does CMO take compliance with the relevant laws and regulations seriously, it also insists that its internal operations must conform to international management system standards, such as ISO9001, ISO14001, and OHSAS 18001. With a responsible, painstaking attitude, CMO aims to contribute to the greater good of the society to which it belongs and the natural environment in which it operates.

Labor Rights

CMO attaches great importance to labor rights and fair employment practices. The corporation adheres strictly to all the laws in this respect; discrimination on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, class, language, ideology, political party affiliation, family origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, marital status, appearance, facial features or physical or mental disability is not tolerated, whether in regard to hiring, compensation or promotion. CMO’s concern for labor rights is reflected in every aspect of our employees’ lives. It can be seen in the highly competitive compensation packages that the company offers, the comprehensive worker insurance provision, the free health check-ups, the cultural and artistic activities that the company organizes, the provision of financial assistance for employee’s children who wish to undertake further study, the absence of gender discrimination, and in many other areas. At CMO, employee feedbacks in the form of suggestions or complaints are encouraged and are used as means of creating a friendly working environment as well as improving company operation effectiveness.
