To ensure the effective oversight, the Board of Directors has established four (4) Board-committees, including the Audit Committee, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, and the Risk Management Committee. These Board-committees are responsible for scrutinizing various aspects within their designated scopes as assigned by the respective committees. They also regularly report their activities and outcomes to the Board meetings for continuous review and oversight.

In addition, the Company has established the policy to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Board’s performance by independent assessors every three (3) years. This process aims to incorporate received feedback and suggestions to enhance the Board’s practices and operations.
