Business Ethics

Ethical Management

An enterprise culture of integrity and honesty forms the foundation for sustainable business operations. Huntwell Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Huntwell or the Company) adheres to relevant laws and regulations, establishing robust corporate governance and risk control mechanisms while promoting a culture of integrity. Employees are required to implement these principles in internal management and business activities, eliminating unethical behaviors and creating an environment conducive to sustainable development.

In addition to creating a sincere and honest corporate culture, the Company complies with external laws and regulations and establishes internal systems to ensure that employees in the Company operate by the highest level of ethical standards. The Company strictly prohibits employees from making illegal political donations in exchange for commercial gains or business advantages. As for laws and regulations, the Company complies with the Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles to be a law-abiding corporate citizen. The Company formulated the Ethical Management Best Practice Principles and the Code of Ethical Conduct for Directors and Supervisors to act as the business ethics and ethical management standards, and require all directors, supervisors, and employees to abide by these standards.

The Company’s Ethical Management Best Practice Principles are applicable to directors, managers, employees, appointees, and individuals with substantial control. To uphold the principles of integrity, the Company includes clauses on integrity, professional conduct, and conflict of interest in employment contracts. The employee code of conduct explicitly prohibits corruption, theft, abuse of power, bribery, and other unethical behaviors that harm the Company's interests. Employees involved in specific projects are required to sign confidentiality agreements. Any violations, once verified, are addressed in accordance with the "Employee Reward and Disciplinary Measures." For severe violations, the Company may terminate the employment contract without prior notice and pursue legal action for any criminal liabilities, as well as compensation for related losses.

Ethical Management Training

To implement the Integrity Education and promote the international anti-corruption trend, Huntwell has incorporated ethical management education into its mandatory employee training. Each year, all members of management and employees of the Company must complete the training and take a post-training test to ensure their understanding of the policies related to ethical management. A unified curriculum has been developed, covering topics such as anti-corruption, respect for intellectual property rights, prevention of insider trading, and anti-money laundering. It also provides detailed explanations of the Company’s whistleblower policy, including its operation, protective measures, and reporting channels, in order to fulfill our commitment to transparent and accountable governance.

In 2025, the Company achieved an 87% completion rate in its ethical management training program.

Irregular Business Conduct Reporting Channel and Whistleblower System

To emphasize Huntwell‘s commitment to human rights and due diligence, the “Guidelines Governing the Reporting of Corruption and Malpractices” were published in 2025. The scope of accepted reports includes employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, and individuals engaged in business transactions with the Company. The regulations also specify the confidentiality measures for the investigation process and provide protection mechanisms for whistleblowers. The Company treats reported matters as sensitive and handles them with caution. For significant reports, all personnel responsible for handling the cases are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure the confidentiality of whistleblower information. Upon conclusion of the investigation, a human rights due diligence form is provided to the whistleblower to confirm the protection of their rights and confidential information. Whistleblower reports, transcripts, or other related documents should be kept confidential and securely stored. Unauthorized disclosure is subject to disciplinary action according to the Company's disciplinary policy. The Company is responsible for safeguarding the safety of whistleblowers. Any threats, intimidation, or unlawful actions against whistleblowers should be strictly punished in accordance with the law.

 

The Company has established a whistleblowing mailbox for individuals, both internal and external, to provide feedback or report violations of ethical and moral conduct. The system also accepts anonymous reports. The details of the whistleblowing mailbox are published on the Company’s official website and included in procurement contracts. It is also promoted during ethical management training courses. Whistleblowers are eligible to receive a reward of NT$200,000 or 5% of the amount of loss as specified.
