Business Ethics and Anti-corruption

Good corporate governance is a crucial foundation of a stable business growth in a long run, thereby affecting the Company’s credibility and stakeholders’ confidence in the Company.

The Board of Directors, therefore, performs a major role in governing business to meet the Company’s objectives legally and ethically according to the regulations, policies and principles of good governance, and to be responsible for the stakeholders, society and environment.  As such, efficient corporate governance is an important mechanism and process that would lead the Company towards a genuinely sustainable organization.
