We respect our role in society and strive to operate in a way that creates a more sustainable business and better shared future that makes a difference in people’s lives, communities and our planet.
Our commitment to human rights is embedded into our existing frameworks and processes, applicable to all employees, suppliers and third parties, such as HLMG (Hong Leong Manufacturing Group) Code of Conduct and Ethics. The Supplier Code of Conduct and Ethics includes specific labour and human rights expectations for suppliers and third parties.
The responsibility for human rights issues lies with the CSR/RBA Management System Organisation which is led by our Group Managing Director.
All of our employees receive briefing and training, which includes information on respecting human rights in the course of our business operations as stipulated within our Code of Ethics.
MPI and its subsidiaries (Carsem (M) Sdn Bhd and Carsem Semiconductor (Suzhou) Co. Ltd.) are aligned with RBA Code of Conduct. RBA conducts VAP (Validated Audit Program) bi-annually that includes human rights impact assessment and mitigation.
The HR function is responsible for upholding labor rights, ensuring fair employment practices, and maintaining compliance with labor laws. Day-to-day responsibilities and resources are clearly allocated within HR to manage key areas such as workforce planning, employee engagement, and well-being, reinforcing the company’s commitment to labor rights and sustainability.
