The Company focuses on fostering a corporate culture that respects human rights through concrete actions, transitioning from a reactive approach to proactive management across the entire value chain. The key guidelines are as follows:

This includes defined protection processes for whistleblowers and those cooperating in investigations to build confidence in the system's transparency and fairness.

This ensures timely resource allocation for addressing human rights issues and integrates assessment results into the annual performance targets of relevant departments.
All of these guidelines reflect the Company’s commitment to conducting business with respect for human rights across all sectors, aligning with the expectations of society, investors, and business partners while building a strong foundation for sustainable growth.
