Board Diversity Policy
The Company advocates for a policy of respecting diversity among board members, aiming to enhance corporate governance and promote the healthy development of the Board's composition and structure.
We believe that diversity contributes to improved overall performance. Directors are selected based on professional qualifications, experience, and diversity, without discrimination based on gender, age, nationality, or cultural background.
The diverse composition of the Board ensures informed decision-making for the Company’s sustainable development.
To reinforce supervision responsibilities, the Company has established comprehensive internal management regulations to strengthen governance functions.
