Organization & Structure

HIWIN’s management team is dedicated to corporate governance policies that safeguard shareholder equity and increase our information transparency. Our efforts have been widely recognized, ranking in the 6%-20% of listed companies in Taiwan in the TWSE’s Corporate Governance Center's eighth (2021) corporate governance evaluation. Main Practices:

  1. Functional committees fulfill their functional duties to strengthen the board’s function and corporate governance roll-out.
  2. Establish an effective internal control system and implemented self-checking. Leverage the professional experiences of independent directors to strengthen the team’s practical experiences.
  3. Establish a public information declaration process so that shareholders and stakeholders can fully understand the company’s financial and business status and the implementation of corporate governance.
  4. The Board of Directors is the highest governing body. All resolutions from the Board must be recognized by the shareholders’ meeting. In addition to oversight from the board, the ESG Committee also spotlights issues relating to education, the economy, the environment, and the disadvantaged in society and also reports material items in board meetings.
