Introduction
Since its inception, the Group has conducted business activities trusted by customers and other stakeholders based on the corporate credos “Service before profit” and “Abjure all evil and practice all good.”
With increasing economic globalization and diversification of stakeholder needs, what is expected of business activities is greatly changing.
