COVID-19 Initiatives and Practices
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we instituted broad ranging measures to protect the health and welfare of our employees, including a policy of encouraging all employees worldwide to become vaccinated. Due in particular to the relatively low vaccination rate among the
Thai population generally,early in the pandemic, these measures have included providing vaccine – free of charge – to all of our employees based in Thailand. Thanks in large part to our vaccination program, we are proud to have a worldwide employee vaccination rate of over 99%. We also provided resources and assistance to motorcycle taxi drivers in the community adjacent to our facilities in the Pathum Thani province of Thailand, including antigen testing, vaccinations, gloves, hand sanitizer, personal protective equipment and, in some cases, financial support.
In addition, we undertook the followingmany COVID-19 prevention and containment related initiatives at some or all of our facilities:facilities, including:
work-from-home program instituted to increase social distancing, as well as to shield the vulnerable;
sanitization of buses transporting employees;
a requirement that face masks be worn at all times, except while eating in socially distanced cafeterias;
temperature and symptom checks at all entrances to buildings;
limits on visitors to facilities;
automation of doors and restroom faucets to decrease touchpoints;
antigen testing of symptomatic personnel;
contact-tracing within the factory, and antigen testing and quarantining of those identified as close contacts of infected individuals;
company-funded medical hotline with physician;
emergency vehicle transport for employees who testtested positive for the virus; and
other employee support, emotional and otherwise, where necessary.
Although we recently lifted our face mask mandate and relaxed some of our social distancing requirements, we are prepared to reinstitute these measures, as well as any other precautions that may be warranted, in the event of future outbreaks of COVID-19.
