Human Rights Due Diligence Process

SYSTEX has formulated a human rights due diligence process that identifies potential issues of human rights risks first, and then carries out risk assessments on employees who may be affected. After a risk assessment, SYSTEX develops mitigations, tracks the implementation performance and reviews regularly to reduce risks effectively and achieve goals.

Risk issue identification, risk assessment and human right risk map

  • Collect 8 human rights risk issues.
  • Internal stakeholders conduct human rights risk assessments based on the degree of impact and the probability of occurrence, so that SYSTEX identifies 2 major issues of “humane treatment and working hours,” and formulates risk mitigation measures and goals.
    (1)Humane treatment: Treatment in the workplaces may affect employees physically and mentally, assessed as a high risk.
    (2)Working hours: Employees work long hours, affecting their lift quality and causing more load, assessed as a medium-high risk.
