Global compliance policy

Preamble

To Be a Trusted Company

Trust by customers, shareholders, suppliers and the societies is indispensable for a company to sustainably grow. A company can be trusted upon by being aware of its social responsibility (“CSR”) and by fulfilling the expectation of, and enhancing the satisfaction of, customers and other stakeholders through good dialogues.
