Demonstrating verified compliance with RBA VAP standards1 April 2025, Taipei, Taiwan – Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) (TWSE:2317) has completed independent, third-party audits of nine manufacturing campuses covering five countries, demonstrating, for a second year, a commitment to critical compliance and transparency in social and environmental responsibility by the world’s largest electronics manufacturing service provider. No priority findings were assessed for the most part in the audits conducted under the Responsible Business Alliance Validated Assessment Program (RBA VAP), an industry standard that recognizes a factory’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility and focuses on verified closure of issues identified in a VAP assessment. The audits covered Foxconn manufacturing sites in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, India and Mexico, showing an overall compliance rate of 89%. The Quang Chau campus in Vietnam’s Bac Giang province was recognized at a Silver level under RBA VAP, outperforming the average score in the local industry. According to RBA, customers, investors, governments and other stakeholders consider the verified closure of audit findings critical to demonstrating compliance to their requirements. To enhance sustainability in Foxconn’s operations and serve as a global best-practice model, the audits in 2024 also focused on campuses needing to strengthen third-party checks based on comprehensive assessment of their operational complexity, employee size, and past record in third-party audits. Audit areas covered labor rights, occupational health and safety, environment, ethics, supply chain management and interviews with 1,067 employees. Total scope included 210,000 employees and took the equivalent of 96 man-days. No priority findings were assessed, with the exception of one priority non-compliance in supply chain management due to overtime hours of an outsourced service provider, which has been addressed. The compliance rates for environment and ethics each reached over 97%, while those for labor, health and safety, and supply chain management each reached over 80%. Findings indicated a need to strengthen the management of the ratio of dispatched workers, overtime hours, calculation for social insurance and on-time severance payment, as well as attention to the on-site working environment in India. By end 2024, RBA VAP audits have been done at 58 sites with 8 recognized at Platinum level, 17 at Gold, and 20 at Silver. The first audits in 2023 covered eight sites in China and India.

Takes successful baton from CC Lin and becomes first woman to hold role30 March 2025, Taipei, Taiwan – Underscoring a strong commitment to grow next generation leaders, Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) (TWSE:2317) has named Kathy Yang Chiu-chin its rotating Chief Executive Officer, effective Monday, setting two major milestones in corporate governance leadership for the world’s largest electronics manufacturing service provider. Yang takes the baton as the second rotating CEO, continuing the bold commitment first set a year ago by Foxconn Chairman Young Liu to deepen sustainable leadership at the global technology giant. Yang’s appointment also makes her the first woman to hold the rotating CEO role, a recognition of the breadth of her expertise in global logistics, trade compliance and worldwide campus operation oversight. “Leadership planning is very important for enterprises that want their operations to be sustainable. The rotating CEO sytem is a key part of that,” said Chairman Liu. “This program equips General Managers with early exposure to Group-level leadership responsibilities, enabling them to develop the skills required for broader roles. Over time, this transitional system will cultivate a pool of leaders with proven expertise in both operational execution and organizational management.” Liu added that inaugural rotating CEO CC Lin, head of Foxconn’s E Business Group, fulfilled CEO responsibilities during his rotation in the past year and achieved outstanding performance in meeting operational goals, setting a good precedent. E Business Group includes gaming, thermal modules, lightweight metal chassis, PCB, EV electronic modules, among its business operation scope. Yang has more than three decades of experience in supply chain and logistics. “Through the strength of the organization and systems, we make corporate governance sustainable, building a more agile, more sustainable leadership structure that can quickly respond to market challenges,” she said. In taking up the relay baton, Yang will focus on business management, continue to promote management optimization and uphold Foxconn’s values to share, collaborate and thrive with its stakeholders. Yang concurrently serves as Foxconn’s Global Chief Campus Operation Officer, a new position established last year aimed at integrating and improving the Group’s global layout and enhancing the service support from headquarters to its campuses, particularly important amid geopolitical changes. She is also Foxconn’s Chief Logistics and Trade Compliance Officer, and is Chairperson and CEO of JUSDA , a leading logistics solutions provider and a key subsidiary of Foxconn. In her time at Foxconn, Yang has progressively taken on growing responsibilities in areas involving global reach, stakeholder engagement and industry domain knowledge. She now leads teams of over 8,000 people around the world. In 2015, Yang led the transformation of the internal logistics arm of Foxconn into an independent subsidiary named JUSDA, driving its annual revenue from USD120 million to today’s USD2.5 billion. Previous to her current roles, Yang spent nearly two decades with US global logistics leader United Parcel Service. Yang is a recognized winner by global diversity leader and champion of women in the C- suite, WeQual, in the Specialist category of the WeQual Awards, Asia-Pacific 2023.
