The key to TXC’s success lies in the mutual trust and respect among employees. We fully respect the dignity of every colleague and strive to listen to their concerns and recommendations and accept differences with an open mind. Employee care and employee welfare have always been the fundamental principles of our welfare system, which is designed to provide employees with better welfare.
In order to safeguard employees’ rights, the Company has established its Worker Rights and Ethics Policy, which is reviewed on a quarterly basis during the labor-management meeting to determine if any revision is necessary in order to uphold TXC’s corporate ethics and fulfill the Company’s corporate social responsibilities. The policies are made available to all employees via weekly announcements.

The Company deeply understands how children might be physically and mentally impacted by labor work, and the negative effect of child labor on corporate social image. Therefore, the “Code of Conduct” and “Employee Handbook” explicitly specified that no child labor is allowed. This rule is fully executed during interview.
