ASEH complies with the legal and regulatory requirements of all operational locations and the approach is designed in support of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”), the UN Global Compact (“UNGC”), the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights(“UNPBHR”), ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work(“ILO”), OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct(“RBC”), Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct(“RBA”) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (“CSDDD”).

Human Rights Governance

In order to adequately manage human rights issues that arise from operating a global business, ASEH implements risk management at all facilities, collates and reports the information to the ASEH CSISC and top management at regular meetings.

Guidelines of Management

To fulfill ASEH’s responsibility to respect human rights, ASEH has established a human rights policy and human rights management framework, implementing its commitment to respect, protect, and uphold human rights. In doing so, it references the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct to create a due diligence process. Through the PDCA approach, ASEH regularly conducts human rights due diligence to assess and identify adverse impacts on human rights and the environment ("human rights risks"). For significant identified risks or incidents of human rights violations, it proactively implements appropriate mitigation or remedial measures. By overseeing and tracking the implementation of these measures, ASEH reviews and confirms the effectiveness of its human rights governance practices. It standardizes the outcomes of due diligence, the cases of human rights violations, and the effectiveness of improvements. Moreover, it establishes clear communication channels with stakeholders and publicly discloses relevant human rights management information. This ensures the continuous enhancement of its human rights management mechanisms, including, but not limited to, reviewing and adjusting policies, regulations, procedures, as well as preventive and remedial actions in order to ensure the more effective execution of human rights protection efforts.
