Getac firmly believes that the promotion of sustainability must be linked to the intrinsic core values of technologies to maximize benefits and thereby meet the expectations of all stakeholders. Getac espouses the three core values of “Innovation, Commitment, and Value”, echoing the UN SDGs. The sustainable development direction of the Company represents a synthesis of operating strategies and the ESG (environmental, social, and governance) concept.

In order to align our sustainability policies and actions with international standards, we have formulated our CSR policies in accordance with the Code of Conduct of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). 

On issues related to human rights and labor rights, we also base our corporate culture and operations on the spirit and principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Global Compact, and the International Labor Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

Our CSR policy covers all of our subsidiaries, contractors and supply chain partners. In addition to the implementation of our own CSR policy, we expect our supply chain partners to work together to jointly achieve corporate sustainability.

Getac Responds To SDGs
Focus on the four goals and continue to create long-term value 
 
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a strategic roadmap for responses of enterprises to climate change and consumer demands. Issues of primary concern to enterprises and future possibilities and directions in the field of corporate sustainability can be identified through reviews of these 17 goals.

In 2018, Getac identified sustainability actions and corresponding goals based on factors such as industry attributes, core capabilities of the company, available resources, feasibility, and stakeholder expectations on the foundation of the UN SDGs. Mid- and long-term sustainability strategies of the Company will focus on the following four SDGs: Goal 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, Goal 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Goal 12 Responsible Consumption and Production, and Goal 4 Quality Education.

Action plans are concretely implemented in the daily operations of the Company in the two categories of “welfare thrust” and “corporate thrust”. In the welfare thrust dimension, the Company engages in charitable donations and utilizes its technological capabilities to improve the quality of education in remote areas through its Getac Charity Trust Fund. On the other hand, the Company organizes “Y.S. Award” competitions to provide promising young students with a platform and opportunity to give free rein to their creativity and thereby train much needed star performers of the future age of AI.

In the field of corporate operations, the Company implements process innovation, enhances its energy use efficiency, and promotes the universal use of eco-friendly materials by relying on R&D efforts in core technologies. Getac actively develops industries with high added value to enhance its corporate value with the ultimate goal of creating new employment opportunities. The Company also strives to build a work environment characterized by equality and mutual respect and a climate conducive to learning and growth to foster talent cultivation as a driving force for innovative R&D. Getac maximizes its influence on supply chain partners through communication, supervision, and encouragement to promote respect for human rights and environmental protection and harness its powers as a corporate citizen for positive causes.
