Occupational injury or accident handling
Novatek has established an Incident Investigation and Reporting Management Procedure. In the event of occupational injuries, commuting accidents, near misses, or abnormal incidents, cases are handled in accordance with this procedure. Each case is reviewed and reported during the quarterly Environmental, Occupational Health and Safety, and Energy Management Committee meetings. The incidents are analyzed, documented as case studies, and communicated to employees to raise awareness and prevent recurrence. According to the definition of disabling injury from occupational accident provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Ministry of Labor, Novatek recorded one injury case in 2024 that occurred outside the workplace (a fall injury during an off-site company event). The occupational injury incidence rate was 0.03%. There were no reported cases of occupational disease or work-related fatalities. |

Employee assistance program and on-site physician consultation service
Since 2003, Novatek has established an “Employee Counseling Program,” offering free, confidential psychological counseling services provided by professional consultants who visit the Company on a weekly basis. These services are designed to help employees relieve mental and emotional stress. Employees can choose to receive one-on-one counseling either at the specialist’s private practice or onsite at the Company. All counseling fees are fully subsidized by the Company, with no limit on the number of sessions. In 2024, Novatek signed a partnership agreement with Newmind EAP Consultation Co., Ltd. to further enhance the comprehensiveness of its Employee Assistance Program (EAP), providing more robust support for both managers and employees. As of 2024, the program has served a total of 3,085 visits, including 446 sessions in 2024. Additionally, Novatek arranges monthly onsite visits by contracted physicians to provide medical consultations and health advice covering a wide range of diseases, wellness, and preventive care. In 2024, a total of 78 sessions were held, serving 289 employees. |
Health promotion activities
Novatek cares about the health of its employees. Every year, the health manager refers to the abnormal items in the health examination report of the employees, the on-site physician consultation advice and other information to carry out the health management for the employees, plan and conduct practical and diversified health promotion seminars and activities, and regularly provide various health information for the employees. A medical column is compiled every month to protect the health of the employees.

Maternal care and childcare measures
To provide employees with more support for childbearing and childcare, starting from 2022, Novatek has implemented "childcare allowance and work from home for parenting". If an employee has a child under the age of six, the Company will provide a subsidy of NT$ 5,000 per child per month. In addition, a flexible working system will be implemented, allowing parents to work from home for up to 15 days per year, giving both parents the opportunity to share the economic and child-rearing responsibilities. |
