[From Work to Life - ECOVE's Happy Workplace]
As global sustainability and ESG governance continue to gain importance, ECOVE believes that sound corporate operations are no longer merely a matter of finance or performance; they also concern how a company fulfills its responsibilities to employees and society. We firmly believe that a happy workplace is an important cornerstone of sustainable corporate management. Through comprehensive healthcare, welfare systems, and life support, employees can feel holistic care across work, health, and life, forming a stable force that supports the Company's long-term development. In planning its welfare system, ECOVE does not aim merely to meet minimum standards. Instead, we consider how to build more comprehensive systems that provide substantive support. These include maternity leave and prenatal checkup/paternity leave that exceed the requirements of the Labor Standards Act, childbirth allowances, children's education subsidies, and a comprehensive group insurance system. The Company fully covers life insurance, medical insurance, accident insurance, and occupational accident protection, and proactively bears most insurance premiums to reduce the burden on employees and their families when they face risks. These systems are not fragmented arrangements; rather, they are centered on "freeing employees from worries," supporting employees in working steadily and focusing on their professional contributions. ECOVE values the diverse needs employees face at different life stages and helps them achieve balance between work and life. In addition to providing all statutory leave, the Company further introduced "Happy Care Leave" in July 2025, which exceeds regulatory requirements. This enables employees facing family care needs, children's health issues, or unexpected situations to maintain flexibility and breathing room without having to make dicult choices between family responsibilities and work. Through institutionalized design, the Company provides substantive support while conveying respect for and understanding of employees' life roles. In workplace health, ECOVE regards preventive care as an important foundation of workplace health management. The Company provides regular health examinations that exceed regulatory requirements and adjusts subsidies and examination items according to age and risk dierences. Health examination results are explained and followed up by professional medical personnel. Through health education sections, health promotion, and on-site medical consultation, ECOVE held 15 on-site physician service sessions in 2025, totaling 45 hours and serving 146 consultations, transforming professional medical knowledge into daily actions that employees can understand and implement. In addition, because waste incineration operations involve high temperatures and complex processes, potential dioxin exposure risks must be taken seriously. Since 2008, ECOVE has commissioned academic institutions to conduct regular employee blood dioxin tracking tests, combining health examinations, occupational exposure, and lifestyle analysis to continuously monitor changes in risk and serve as employees' strongest backing through a long-term and verifiable approach. Five rounds of testing have been completed to date. Results show that employees' blood dioxin concentrations have long remained below the domestic average and have shown a downward trend over successive tests. This reflects the substantive effectiveness of the Company's environmental management and personal protection measures, and makes ECOVE one of the few - and possibly the only - companies in Taiwan to conduct long-term employee dioxin tracking. ECOVE believes that employee happiness is often closely connected to family. In addition to providing institutional support for parenting and family care, the Company also plans activities in which family members can participate together and actively encourages employees to join volunteer activities that promote social coprosperity. In 2025, a cumulative 1,977 participants took part in volunteer activities, contributing 4,070 hours. ECOVE also invited employees' children to participate in the "Little Engineer Camp," allowing children to understand their parents' work and the role the Company plays through experiential activities. Participation in these activities not only enhances parent-child interaction, but also helps family members better understand workplace value, extending corporate care from individual employees to the family level and creating a deeper connection between people and the Company. A happy workplace cannot be achieved overnight; it is built through the accumulation of every institutional choice and the long-term commitment of managers and employees. ECOVE will continue to accompany employees through dierent life stages in a steady and reliable manner, from health and welfare to family support, while providing comprehensive care for employees' families from young children to elders. In this way, a happy workplace is not merely a slogan, but an everyday ECOVE experience that can be genuinely felt and trusted over the long term.
