We identify entities that influence our business activities internally and externally as stakeholders and categorize them into seven groups, including: customers; shareholders and investors; employees; partners and suppliers; local communities; academia and media; and the government. In order to collect stakeholders’ opinions, we operate a communication channel for each stakeholder group. We encourage stakeholders' engagement and communication regarding material issues as part of efforts to improve transparency and efficiency of our business activities and build reliable relationships. Each communication channel is managed by the relevant department.
