  • ② Prohibition of Whistleblower Tracking The reported person, their department, and any other related departments are strictly prohibited from engaging in any activities that could expose the whistleblower's identity, such as inquiring with the investigator or conducting investigative activities to find out who the whistleblower is.

  • ④ Strict Punishment for Violation of Identity Protection Internal reporting by members is a valuable asset that protects our core value of honesty and saves the company from greater risks. When handling such facts, we ensure absolute confidentiality so that the whistleblower does not suffer any disadvantages to their status.
