SDG 8.2.4 Employment policy modern slavery

NCUE upholds the United Nations "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" SDG 8 goals and vigorously promotes "Employment Policy and Prevention of Forced Labor and Human Trafficking Policy." The university firmly oppose forced labor, modern slavery, human trafficking, and child labor. The university's employment and procurement processes incorporate human rights protection and labor standards to ensure working conditions comply with legal requirements and international labor standards. Furthermore, NCUE strengthens the awareness and responsibility of faculty, students, and external partners regarding these issues through new employee education and training, supply chain review mechanisms, and regular advocacy, jointly creating a campus environment that respects human rights, labor justice, and sustainable development. The university has also established relevant regulations to implement the protection of workers' rights and obligations, as described below:

1. The government of the Republic of China has formulated the Human Trafficking Prevention Act to prevent human trafficking and protect the rights and interests of victims. In accordance with this law, we undertake not to engage in any situations that involve forced labor, modern slavery, or human trafficking.

2. We strictly comply with the provisions under Article 44 of the Labor Standards Act and confirm that we do not recruit any child laborer over the age of 15 but under the age of 16 to work on campus.

3. The regulations stated below have been clearly formulated by NCUE, and their contents are regularly revised to keep up with the times. No illegal acts such as forced labor or slavery are permitted, and the rights and obligations of workers are guaranteed, as shown in Table 1.
