Business Ethics and Anti-corruption

Risk

Any actions against moral principles, violation of business ethics, failure to comply with laws and regulations, or corruption will have a direct impact on stakeholders’ confidence as well as the Company’s reputation and image. Furthermore, such acts could impede the Company’s sustainable growth and the development of the country. 

Opportunity

The Company's stability and sustainability can be ensured by operating a business with transparency, ethics, and moral values, considering the impact on all stakeholders, which will gain support from those affected and attract talented individuals, investors, or businesses that share the same values.

Management Approach

The Company aims to conduct its businesses operation with integrity and responsibility towards its stakeholders. It places a strong emphasis on transparency, honesty and compliance with laws, regulations as well as the principles of good corporate governance and a business code of ethics.  These guidelines establish the scope and standards of behaviors that all employees, including the Board of Directors and executives, must adhere to in order to work in alignment with ethical values.

All executives and employees are obligated to follow the Company’s Code of Ethics policy and manual, in order to instill values of morality and accountability in the organizational culture. It is important for each executive and employee to behave with civility and consciousness, to consider the benefits and impacts of their actions on the Company’s stakeholders impartially and fairly, to conduct business with responsibility and to establish robust work system that prevents corruption through internal audit system. 

The Company has announced revised policies and guidelines that are more suitable for the current business environment, comply with generally accepted criteria and regulations, and promote and support ethical business operations.  The Company has also disclosed its manuals for Good Corporate Governance and Code of Ethics, along with other policies, on its website and intranet.  This allows all employees to learn and use them as a guideline for the operations of the Board of Directors, executives and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
