Moreover, the Company had joined the Thai Private Sector Collective Action Coalition Against Corruption (CAC) project which demonstrates its commitment and determination to combat all forms of corruption. Since the Company is also complying with the Nippon Steel Group’s Internal Control Checklist which covers all controls on anti-corruption, anti-bribery, etc., the Company has not renewed the CAC certification. The anti-corruption policy was established by defining responsibility and appropriate practice guidelines for the prevention of corruption in all activities. The policy has been communicated to directors, executives, employees as well as internal and external stakeholders to be a common practice guideline for conducting business with transparency and fairness.

In addition, the Company has assigned the Risk Management Committee to assess, analyze and define measures for managing the risks of the business and corruption, including a good internal control system and regular effective audits.
