Our company places great emphasis on corporate integrity and ethics, and we have a zero-tolerance policy for corruption and bribery. To enhance our company's integrity indicators, we have implemented a comprehensive set of risk assessment procedures to gain a deeper understanding of corruption-prone business areas. We have also strengthened our internal control system and enhanced its early warning capabilities.
As a concrete manifestation of our commitment, we have established the "Employee Code of Ethics and Conduct" to outline clear anti-corruption and anti-bribery measures. These measures are incorporated into the employee performance evaluation form as relevant assessment items, serving as the basis for employee evaluation in July and December of each year. In the event of exemplary conduct or disciplinary actions, we will promptly handle rewards and punishments in accordance with the regulations.
All employees (including senior managers, part-time employees, and work-study students) are required to participate in at least one anti-corruption and anti-bribery training course each year and keep records of their participation. They must thoroughly understand the relevant operational procedures they must follow and the potential consequences and risks of violating these regulations.
The Administration Department is responsible for formulating and overseeing the implementation of integrity management policies and preventive measures. It reports to the Board of Directors annually (at least once a year) on the implementation status of integrity management policies and anti-dishonesty behavior prevention plans, as well as the status of corrective actions for deficiencies. This ensures the full implementation of the concept of corporate integrity management.
Our company did not have any legal cases in 2022 related to anti-competitive behavior, antitrust violations, or monopoly practices. We are also actively drafting regulations for business-related colleagues regarding commercial behavior.
Our company is dedicated to upholding ethical principles and human rights. We actively engage in educating our employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders on human rights-related issues. We also promote awareness of our complaint channels and publicly disclose our human rights management practices to ensure open communication with all parties.
