Happy Workplace
Creating a corporate culture that values diversity, effective communication, and gender equality, establishing a Good Employee Compensation and Welfare System, and committing to cultivating a happy SKL person.
Protecting employees' human rights
When recruiting and approving salaries, SKL will not discriminate based on gender, race, physical condition, religion, political stance, marital status, and union stance; in addition, we prohibit the employment of children under the age of 16 to eliminate possible forced labor.
We also attach great importance to labor rights. In response to internationally accepted basic labor rights conventions, our human resources policies cover human rights topics such as employees' rights to work and freedom of association to maintain the dignity and privacy of all employees. Every year, SKL cooperates with SKFH to conduct human rights due diligence to mitigate and remove potential human rights risks.
