Corporate Social Responsibility Policies
Measures Relating to Human Rights and Labour
The Transputec Code of Conduct, which covers our stance on initiatives in human rights, legal compliance, environmental and social contribution, and workplace attitudes, is made available to all employees via the company intranet, and employees are made aware of its contents. Also, human resources undertake independent checks for legal violations such as discrimination, appropriate payment, and working hour management according to labour-related laws and regulations, in-house rules, and labour agreements with unions.
Scope
This code of conduct applies to Transputec, as well as all executive officers and employees.
Labour-related Code of Conduct
Transputec shall uphold the human rights of all workers and engage with all workers in a manner that can be considered respectful and indicative of good faith by international societies. This applies to all workers, including temporary employees, migrant workers, students, contracted employees, directly hired employees and all other working capacities.
Labour standards are as follows:
Free Selection of Jobs
There shall be no use of forced or compulsory labour (including debt bondage), labour in detention, involuntary or exploitative prison labour or labour obtained through slavery or human trafficking. This includes transportation, concealment, employment, and the transfer or acceptance of persons through threats, coercion, force, abduction, or trickery to receive labour or services. Entry to and exit from facilities provided by the company shall not be restricted unreasonably, nor shall unreasonable restrictions be placed on workers’ freedom of movement in company facilities. If a worker will leave their country of origin to work for Transputec, a written employment contract describing the conditions of employment must be provided in English before the worker departs as part of the employment process. The employment contract must comply with applicable local laws. It must not be substituted or changed upon the worker’s arrival in the country where they will work, unless the new contract contains equivalent or better conditions. All work shall be done of worker’s own volition, and workers must be free to leave the workplace or terminate their employment at any time. Employers and agents may only keep workers’ identification or immigration documents if legally required. They must not destroy, conceal, confiscate, or prevent workers from using these documents. Workers shall not be required to pay an employment commission to their employer or agent or any other fees related to their employment. If it is discovered that any workers have paid fees of this nature, the money shall be returned.
Labour by Minors
Children’s labour shall not be used in any stage of production. For this code of conduct, “child” refers to persons under the age of 15, the age of completion of compulsory education or the minimum working age in the country in question. Reasonable work-study programs are supported as long as they comply with all laws and regulations. Workers under the age of 18 (minors) shall not be permitted to engage in work that may be hazardous to their health or safety, including night work or overtime. Transputec will manage student workers in compliance with laws and regulations through proper record-keeping, diligent partner assessment, and protection of their rights. Transputec shall provide suitable support and training to all student workers. If there are no applicable local laws, remuneration for student workers, interns, and apprentices must equal or exceed that paid to other entry-level workers performing the same or similar work. There shall be no use of forced or compulsory labour (including debt bondage), labour in detention, involuntary or exploitative prison labour or labour obtained through slavery or human trafficking.
Working Hours
Many studies on business practices have shown a clear link between overworking and a decrease in workers’ productivity, an increase in turnover and an increase in injury and illness. Working hours must not exceed the limits set in local laws. Workers must not work more than 48 hours per week in line with the Working Time Directive, including overtime, except in emergencies or other unusual situations. Workers must be given statutory leave entitlements in line with relevant legislation.
Remuneration and Benefits
Remuneration paid to workers must comply with all applicable laws on remuneration, including those concerning minimum wage, overtime and legally required benefits. Overtime must be compensated at a higher hourly rate than the usual rate, in accordance with applicable local laws. Remuneration must not be deducted as a disciplinary measure. Workers must be given a comprehensible pay slip for each pay period. This must be provided in a timely manner and contain sufficient information for the worker to confirm that they have been paid correctly for the work they performed. Transputec shall comply with local laws’ limitations regarding the use of temporary, dispatched, or externally contracted workers.
Humane Treatment
Workers must always be treated with dignity and respect. Any form of sexual harassment, abuse, physical punishment, coercion, verbal abuse, or other mistreatment is strictly prohibited. Clear disciplinary procedures are in place to address and prevent such behaviour, and these are communicated to all employees. The organisation upholds strong Equality & Diversity and Harassment & Bullying policies, which reinforce its commitment to fair and humane treatment in the workplace.
Elimination of Discrimination
Transputec must take all possible measures to ensure that its workplaces are free of harassment and illegal discrimination. Transputec must not discriminate based on race, skin colour, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/gender expression, ethnicity/nationality, disability, pregnancy, religion, political affiliation, union membership, presence or absence of military experience, genetic information or marital history in the application of any employment conditions, including remuneration, promotions, bonuses or training. Provisions shall be made within a reasonable range for workers to practice their religions. Requests from workers for religious accommodations shall be handled by the General Affairs and Labour Division, who shall consider how to handle the request and then provide the necessary accommodations. Workers and prospective workers must avoid medical or physical examinations that may be used for discriminatory purposes.
Freedom of Association
Transputec shall respect the right of all workers to form or join a union for the purposes of collective bargaining and peacefully assembling, along with the right of any worker to abstain from such activities, based on local laws. Workers and a representative shall be able to directly communicate their opinions and concerns about working conditions and management practices to management without fear of discrimination, reprisal, threats or harassment.

We develop and maintain a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure rapid recovery and continuity of operations, even in the event of disruptions such as disasters or supply chain concerns. These plans are created, stored, and executed through the Crises Control platform.
Based on the understanding that a business is an integral part of society, we are committed to acting responsibly as a corporate citizen, supporting the development of local communities and contributing beyond our core business activities.
We actively engage with local communities and support initiatives such as sports to help foster community development. We also strive to contribute to society through activities in education, research, culture, the arts, international exchange and cooperation, as well as environmental protection.
In addition, we support charitable organisations, including our contributions to HAVEN Charity and other causes that help underprivileged individuals and communities. We encourage our employees to take part in these efforts through volunteering and active participation, reinforcing a culture of giving back and social responsibility.
