Our current profit-oriented business world exploits nature and people.I believe that only corporations have the necessary power to create the changes needed for a new and exploitation-free society. It is up to us, the companies, to start this process. Frank Martin Püschel, CEO
Frank Martin Püschel, CEOAt GSN, we regard both business and social targets as equally important. Thus, we like to challenge the prevailing labour practices across China's electronics manufacturing industry by respecting the dignity and the social well-being of migrant workers instead of just exploiting them.
Employee engagement is at the core of our HR agenda and a key driver for our organizational development. Thanks to our innovative approach to employee relations our average employee return rate after the Chinese New Year festive season remains as high as 95%. The internal factory regulations of our CR Role Model Factory are fully complying or exceeding social compliance requirements and are being reviewed and audited by local authorities, NGOs and customers on an ongoing basis.
