Overview

Corporate Governance System

The Company adopts an audit & supervisory board system, where its compliance management is founded on strict audits carried out by Audit & Supervisory Board members to ensure the legality of the Company's activities. Based on such policy, the Company will strengthen its monitoring and advisory functions by appointing more than one (1) external director in the Board of Directors.
