Ethical Management

A Corporate Culture of Honesty and Integrity

Getac believes that an ethical corporate culture is the foundation of corporate sustainability. Ethical conduct must start with day-to-day practices, eventually integrating into the company's culture and employee behavior. Getac's Employee Code of Conduct requires employees to "Be the Best, Be Sincere and Honest, Take Responsibility, and Create Value," and that they be sincere and honest in work-related activities.

Whistleblowing System

To eliminate and prevent illegal matters violating ethical management or corruption policies, Getac has mandated an explicit rewarding and punishment system, while simultaneously announcing the Anti-Corruption Informant Regulation, which provides a comprehensive whistleblowing system. The auditor shall setup a Project Investigation Committee to conduct investigation three days after receiving a filed report. If the report is found true, in addition to requesting that the relevant division make improvements before a specified deadline, the Committee shall impose punishment on the involved individuals pursuant to the law and shall take legal action against individuals to seek damage compensation and serve as a warning to others. Getac has established a mailbox for internal and external individuals to provide feedback or report violations of integrity and codes of ethical conduct. The reporting mailbox is specified in supplier contracts. The informant will be given a maximum reporting reward of NT$200,000 or 5% of the loss amount. The report or relevant information will be kept strictly confidential to protect the informant against threat, intimidation, retaliation, or other illegal acts. Such illegal acts against the Informant shall be severely punished pursuant to the law.

Anti-competitive Behavior

Anti-competitive Behavior is when Corporations build barriers to others entering into the industry through behaviors that restrict market competition, create monopoly, fix prices, and create trusts. All major global markets have stipulated laws and regulations to prohibit anti-competitive behaviors, such as the US Anti-trust Law, European Anti-competitive Behavior Law, China and Russia Anti-monopoly Law, and the Taiwan Fair Trade Act.

Getac Technology Corp. markets rugged computers all over the world, and the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) process is established internally, to perform local sales through the global distributor system, provide transparent and open MSRP suggested pricing to the distribution system, and Getac does not intervene in the distributor's final retail price. In addition, Article 8.6 of the Company's Distributors Contract states that partners are required to comply with local laws and regulations and must not be involved in any violation of fair competition-related laws and regulations, thereby undermining market competition mechanisms. Getac was not involved in any anti-competitive behavior, antitrust and monopoly related lawsuits in 2018, and there was no closed legal action.
