Employee Rights and Labor Practices
Huali Group strictly complies with labor laws and customer requirements in all operational countries, uniformly implementing internal policies such as the Supplier Code of Conduct, Child Labor-Free Policy, and Forced Labor-Free Policy. These policies cover comprehensive management across work hours, compensation, leave arrangements, and grievance procedures, firmly eliminating overtime work, forced labor, wage arrears, and workplace discrimination while safeguarding every employee's dignity and rights. This standard is extended throughout the supply chain to promote collaborative governance of labor rights across the entire value chain. While adhering to legal boundaries, the group consistently respects employees' freedom of association and collective bargaining rights, achieving full coverage of trade unions and collective bargaining mechanisms across all global operations. Through regular communication channels, the group legally protects employees' legitimate rights regarding remuneration, occupational health and safety, working hours, and benefits, while regularly disclosing the implementation status and outcomes of these mechanisms. As of 2025, both employee union representation rates and collective bargaining coverage reached 100%. Moving forward, Huali will continue refining these mechanisms to foster harmonious labor relations and achieve sustainable development alongside its workforce.
