Part 2 Corporate Governance


               12. Conflict of interest

               The Board of Directors realizes that working for the Company can lead to situations whereby the personal interests
               of directors, executives and staff may be in conflict with the Company’s interests.  Such conflicts may come in many
               forms and make it impossible to act in a manner that ensures fairness to partners, stakeholders, or entities.
               Therefore, the Board has considered and approved the Conflict of Interest Policy contained in the Company's Code
               of Conduct.

               13. Protecting and looking after company assets
               Directors, executives, and employees at every level have a duty and responsibility to safeguard the Company’s
               assets for the best interest of the Company.  They must appropriately control confidential data and sensitive
               information that they may possess or become aware of as part of their responsibilities.  They must not communicate
               such information to other work units or outsiders and must store confidential documents as addressed in the said
               policy and the Code of Conduct.
               14. Intellectual property rights

               The Company emphasizes respect and not infringing on other people’s intellectual property and has set guidelines
               for intellectual property in the Intellectual Property Policy and Code of Conduct.

               15. Giving information or interviews to the press or the public
               Any information about the Company to be supplied to outside sources must be factual and accurate and presented
               with care. This policy has been included in the Code of Conduct. Those who do not have relevant duties or
               assignments cannot give information or interviews to any press or public in reference to the Group in any way. This
               prohibited action can give rise to undesirable impacts on the reputation and business operations of the Company.
               In 2022, the Company held the following press conferences and activities for shareholders:

                               Meeting with Shareholders and Analysts                Frequency (per year)
                Analyst Meeting                                                               2

                Opportunity Day                                                               4

               16. Whistle-blowing

               The Company operates its business with adherence to the principles of corporate accountability, authenticity, and
               transparency so the Company is committed to protecting its business operation and property from the risk arising
               out of any conduct which violates the code of conduct and any fraud which affects the reputation or the value of
               the shareholders of the Company. The Board has approved the Company's Whistle-blowing Policy in order to
               provide channels for reporting and to encourage directors, executives, employees, and stakeholders to report any
               information on misconduct and/or fraud occurring in the Company. This Policy has set a procedure to manage all
               complaints and reports of misconduct of fraud, and protection of whistle-blowers and confidentiality.

               Information Disclosure and Transparency
               The Company values accurate, complete, timely, and transparent disclosure of both financial and non-financial
               through an easy-to-access channel that is fair and trustworthy.
