Taiwan’s Evergreen Marine Corp has distributed a year-end bonus equivalent to 20 months’ salary, benefiting from a surge in global shipping rates driven by supply chain disruptions like geopolitical tensions and port strikes.
Over the past five years, Evergreen employees have received a total of 180 months’ bonuses, with record payouts during the pandemic boom. The company reported a 68% revenue increase and a 239% net profit jump for the first three quarters of 2023, aligning with this year’s bonus distribution.
