ATA IMS Bhd welcomed a visit from Human Resources Minister, Datuk Seri M Saravanan on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, towards fostering closer cooperation with the Government with its ongoing efforts in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) spectrum.
“The Malaysian Government has stringent measures to comply with International Labour Organization’s (ILO) standards, and that ATA’s positive compliance with Malaysia’s rules and regulations shows that the organisation is moving towards achieving the industry benchmarks for ESG improvement. Speaking to some of the employees, I am assured that their welfare is being taken care of,” says Saravanan.
He encourages ATA and other industry players to be steadfast in efforts to resolve workplace issues and to constantly improve standards and practices towards ensuring inclusive and positive business continuity.
“The Minister, who was accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR), Johor Department of Labour (JTK Johor) and Human Resources Development Corporation (HRDC), was pleased with the conducive working environment at the Company’s factories and found ATA’s employees’ accommodations at a satisfactory level,” the company says in a media release today.
For ATA, as a homegrown Malaysian company, it will ensure compliance with Malaysia’s national laws without compromise.
“We are committed to achieving and exceeding the standards to be one of the best Electronics Manufacturing Service (EMS) providers. Our employees are our strength, and their wellbeing and welfare are central to our business.”
ATA gave the Minister its firm commitment towards further improvement in its ESG practices and looks towards working closely with the Government, Ministry, and other relevant bodies on the road to becoming a model company in the EMS industry.
