Stakeholder Categories, Key Concerns, Communication Channels, and Response Methods
The Company is committed to pursuing sustainable development and actively fulfilling its corporate social responsibility. We establish transparent and effective communication channels with stakeholders to promptly understand and respond to issues of concern. Through ongoing stakeholder engagement, we continuously review the effectiveness of our corporate social responsibility initiatives and improve relevant policies and systems.
In addition to maintaining regular interactions with stakeholders through various channels in the course of our daily business operations, the Company provides contact information on its corporate website for the Investor Services Contact, Personal Data Protection Contact, and Sexual Harassment Complaint Channel. These channels serve as communication mechanisms between stakeholders and the Company. Dedicated personnel are responsible for managing the communication mailbox and, based on the nature of each inquiry or issue, forwarding it to the appropriate responsible department for handling and response.
