We adopt the executive officer system to speed up decision-making. Our executive committee is composed of 9 directors (including 2 female directors) and 25 executive officers excluding those with concurrent duties as director (including 2 female executive officers). Two external directors with vast knowledge and experience in the business or judicial world are appointed to ensure diversity.
