Governance transparency
We implement good corporate governance (GCG) that promotes openness and transparency to avoid our businesses from the risk of corruption and bribery. Up to now all of our employees, including the new hires, have attended the socialization and training about Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC). We compile an anti-corruption guideline that is binding internally inside the Company and for its partners as well. We provide education about GCG and ABC for our partners.
