1. Scope of Protection
The Company protects all Reporting Persons—including employees and external stakeholders—who, in good faith, report actual or suspected violations of applicable laws or Company policies, or who cooperate in an investigation. Anonymous Reporting Persons, witnesses, and other individuals assisting with an investigation are afforded the same protection. However, reports made with knowledge that the information is false or submitted maliciously or for the purpose of defamation are not protected and may result in disciplinary or other appropriate action in accordance with Company policies.
Protection extends to, but is not limited to, the following:
- The identity of Reporting Persons and individuals who cooperate in an investigation
- Evidence submitted by Reporting Persons and information obtained during the investigation
- Follow-up actions, monitoring results, and other related information
2. Protection Measures
- The identity of Reporting Persons, the content of reports, and all information obtained during an investigation are treated as strictly confidential in accordance with applicable laws and Company policies. Such information is shared only with individuals who have a legitimate need to know for the purpose of conducting the investigation.
- The Company strictly prohibits any form of retaliation, discrimination, harassment, or other adverse treatment against any individual for making a report or cooperating in an investigation. Where retaliation is confirmed, the Company will take prompt and appropriate corrective and disciplinary action in accordance with applicable policies and implement measures to prevent recurrence.
- All reports are reviewed objectively and independently to establish the relevant facts. Investigations are conducted fairly, impartially, and in accordance with applicable laws and Company procedures.
- The Company conducts periodic post-investigation monitoring on an annual basis to determine whether any retaliation or other adverse consequences have resulted from a report. Where necessary, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure the continued protection of Reporting Persons.
- Individuals who voluntarily report their own involvement in conduct that violates the Code of Ethics, the Code of Conduct, or applicable laws may have their voluntary disclosure taken into consideration when determining appropriate disciplinary or other corrective action.
- To promote a transparent, ethical, and accountable corporate culture, the Company places the highest priority on maintaining the trust of Reporting Persons.
