Yonghe Medical Group Co., Ltd. has adopted a new Workforce Diversity Policy, set to take effect on October 28, 2025, aiming to promote a diverse and inclusive environment within its senior management and broader workforce. The policy emphasizes the benefits of diversity in enhancing performance, strengthening decision-making capabilities, reducing cognitive biases, and supporting long-term sustainable operations.
The document outlines a commitment to non-discriminatory employment practices, covering areas such as recruitment and selection, training, compensation, performance evaluation, and career advancement. The policy states that all appointments will be merit-based and that qualifications, experience, and performance will be paramount in employment decisions, while also taking diversity into account.
In addressing diversity, the policy acknowledges a range of factors including gender, age, marital status, ethnicity, cultural background, disability, and professional experience. The policy also highlights that measurable objectives for workforce diversity may be set and, if so, will be reported in the company’s annual Corporate Governance Report.
The Nomination Committee of the company is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Diversity Policy and reviewing the composition of the workforce annually. The company is committed to regular training programs to enhance diversity awareness and will periodically disclose relevant workforce diversity data, particularly with regard to gender representation among senior management and the wider workforce.
The policy includes provisions for reporting procedures to handle any workplace discrimination or harassment complaints. It further clarifies that the policy is non-contractual in nature but will be reviewed periodically to ensure effectiveness and alignment with the company’s sustainable development goals.
