Ethical Profile

Mixed.

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC. presents a mixed ethical profile. The company reported significant Scope 1 & 2 emissions of 235,901.50 tonnes CO₂e in 2023, with 98.08% from purchased power, and projects only about 1.7% renewable energy use by 2025. On worker respect, ChipMOS shows a high 88.5% retention rate for Filipino employees in 2023. However, Glassdoor reviews indicate concerns about work/life balance (2.8/5) and varying benefits for foreign employees. Reports suggest approximately 50% of workers earn living wages, with a formal policy to reach 75% within two years. The company states 97.1% of contracts include ethical sourcing clauses and maintains a whistleblower policy, which received one non-unethical report in 2024.
