MEGA P&C stood out as an employer achieving excellence in the DEI field. A video showcasing MEGA P&C's corporate image will also be displayed on the Nasdaq screen in Times Square, New York, sharing the company's story with the world.

Since its founding in 2002, MEGA P&C has adhered to and practiced core values of integrity, accountability, high efficiency, and team cohesion. Among these, "team cohesion" represents the company's commitment to creating a workplace environment where every employee feels respected and dignified. This value aligns closely with DEI principles, forming the unique cultural foundation of MEGA P&C. Additionally, as a sub-topic under the social (S) theme of ESG, DEI is a crucial part of corporate ESG development strategies. Therefore, actively practicing DEI is a key pillar in MEGA P&C's sustainable development blueprint.

At MEGA P&C, we understand and respect the differences among employees and candidates in terms of gender, ethnicity, age, nationality, and culture. As such, capability and potential are the primary considerations in talent selection and development. Our employees come from 27 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and two special administrative regions, and include members of ethnic minorities and military veterans.. Notably, 50% of our senior executives are women. According to survey data1, in 2024, the global average for women in senior management roles in mid-market companies was 33.5%, with the figure for Chinese companies at 33%. This demonstrates that MEGA P&C far exceeds both domestic and international averages in promoting women's career development.

At the same time, MEGA P&C focuses on fostering a diverse and inclusive corporate culture. The company highly values employee feedback, encouraging the sharing of diverse perspectives and ideas. We respect individual differences and regularly organize various training and exchange activities to enhance employees' understanding of DEI, promoting cross-departmental and cross-cultural collaboration. Furthermore, MEGA P&C actively encourages suppliers to participate in DEI initiatives, fostering connections among them to share success stories and best practices, creating a mutually beneficial and inclusive supply chain ecosystem.

Looking ahead, MEGA P&C will continue to deepen its exploration and practice in the DEI field, creating a fairer, more diverse, and inclusive workplace for employees, enabling everyone to fully realize their potential and achieve a win-win for personal and corporate growth. We also look forward to collaborating with more partners to advance DEI initiatives, contributing to a fairer and more harmonious workplace environment, and driving sustainable industry development and social progress.
