Corporate Governance
We place great importance on corporate governance and operational transparency, and have formulated and implemented corporate governance guided by the Company Law, Taiwan’s Securities Exchange Act, and other relevant laws to continue improving our management performance, and protect the interests of our investors and other stakeholders through the comprehensive and systematic implementation of ESG.
To achieve this high standard, we formulated the HTC Corporate Governance Framework in 2014, which has been approved by the Board of Directors and complies with the “Corporate Governance Principles for TWSE/GTSM Listed Companies” as a basis for establishing an effective corporate governance structure. The objectives being:
1. Protect the rights and interests of shareholders.
2. Strengthen the powers of the board of directors.
3. Fulfill the function of the Audit Committee.
4. Respect the rights and interests of stakeholders.
5. Enhance information transparency.
HTC has set up our internal audit unit as subordinate to the Board of Directors. The internal audit unit is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors and management in checking any defects in internal control and in the assessment of operational efficiency and performance, as well as the accuracy of the financial statements and compliance with the related laws. The unit also addresses areas that need improvement in a timely manner to ensure internal control is continuously and effectively implemented. The audit results are used as a basis for the review and amendment of the internal control system to advance sound management in HTC.
