Integrity Management Status

The Company has established the “Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct,” which have been approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently reported to the shareholders’ meeting. The guidelines have been publicly disclosed on the Market Observation Post System (MOPS). The Board of Directors and management are fully aware of the contents, and implementation is carried out accordingly, with an annual report on the execution status of the previous year submitted to the Board in the second quarter.

The Company has also established a risk assessment mechanism for unethical conduct, regularly analyzing and evaluating business activities with a higher risk of unethical behavior within the business scope. Based on the findings, preventive measures are formulated and their appropriateness and effectiveness are reviewed periodically.

The Company’s preventive measures shall cover, at a minimum, the following acts:

  1. Bribery and acceptance of bribes

  2. Offering of illegal political donations

  3. Improper charitable donations or sponsorships

  4. Offering or accepting unreasonable gifts, hospitality, or other improper benefits

  5. Infringement of trade secrets, trademark rights, patent rights, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights

  6. Acts of unfair competition

  7. Activities during R&D, procurement, manufacturing, provision, or sales of products and services that directly or indirectly harm the rights, health, or safety of consumers or other stakeholders

In addition, the Company has implemented a concrete whistleblowing system, which includes the following components:

  1. Establishment and announcement of internal independent whistleblower email and hotline channels for use by both internal and external parties

  2. Designation of responsible personnel or a dedicated unit to handle whistleblower cases; if a report involves directors or senior executives, it must be reported to the Audit Committee, and categories of cases and related investigation procedures must be defined

  3. Formulation of follow-up measures based on the severity of confirmed violations; if necessary, the matter should be reported to competent authorities or referred to judicial agencies for investigation

  4. Documentation and preservation of records related to case acceptance, investigation processes, investigation results, and related files

  5. Confidentiality of whistleblower identity and report content, with allowance for anonymous reporting

  6. Protection measures to ensure whistleblowers are not subject to unfair treatment as a result of their reports

  7. Reward mechanisms for whistleblowers

If the responsible personnel or unit handling the whistleblowing cases discovers any major violations or a risk of significant damage to the Company, a report must be prepared immediately and submitted in writing to the Audit Committee. The whistleblowing system and related measures shall be reviewed and updated regularly.
