UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, the United Nations released 17 "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) and 169 individual targets. This established a clear vision for sustainable development and best practices toward it, bringing together the power of the world's peoples to move toward the goals of eradicating poverty, resolving inequity and adapting to climate change before 2030.

In response to the 2015 UN sustainable development goals, Chailease started from its core business, deepening its attention and investing more resources. This included working for gender equality for employees within the company, employee health and welfare, encouraging employment and economic growth and affordable energy. Product services were extended to responsible consumption and production and climate actions, supporting poverty eradication and reduction in inequality outside the company.

Chailease formulated the Organizing Rules of the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee along with the Chailease Human Rights Policy. In addition to strengthening corporate governance, fulfilling our corporate social responsibility and pursuing sustainable operations, Chailease and our subsidiaries are committed to upholding our employees’ fundamental human rights, complying with labor laws, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of employees. Including those set out in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UN ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

In order to eliminate all forms of gender discrimination within the Group and build a gender-friendly workplace, Chailease strictly observes all labor laws in areas where the company operates. Including (but are not limited to) the Republic of China Employment Service Act, Labor Standards Act, Act of Gender Equality in Employment, Sexual Harassment Prevention Act, and Occupational Safety and Health Act. We have also established a set of effective related management methods and procedures. Chailease has been holding sexual harassment prevention training sessions since 2018 and produced video education materials to provide to all new and existing employees.
