Units and Implementations of Corporate Governance
The Company has appointed dedicated personnel to handle corporate governance matters, including providing information required by the Board of Directors, managing meetings of the Board of Directors and shareholders, handling company registration and changes, and preparing minutes of board meetings and shareholder meetings.
Strengthen Communication Channels with Stakeholders
Adhering to the principle of integrity and pragmatic management, the Company maintains open communication channels with suppliers, customers, and stakeholders (including banks, other creditors, employees, etc.). The Company’s website features a “Stakeholders’ Section” under the Investor Relations Section, which explains and provides effective communication channels between stakeholders and the Company.
Strengthen the Functions of the Board of Directors
The Company’s directors and independent directors possess professional industry backgrounds and practical management experience. The Company continuously provides relevant regulatory information that directors and independent directors need to be aware of and occasionally informs or arranges for directors and independent directors to attend seminars or training courses related to corporate governance and sustainability. Additionally, they are invited to participate in internal training sessions related to the Company’s financial and business operations.
Ethical Corporate Management
FICG adheres to ethical corporate management and complies with the Ethical Corporate Management Best Practice Principles for Listed Companies. We have established the “Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct”. To implement ethical corporate management, the hiring notice for new employees includes clauses on integrity and ethics. Each new employee is required to read and sign these clauses carefully. The internal reward and punishment regulations stipulate that improper benefits must not be accepted due to business relationships. Those who violate this and have significant circumstances will face dismissal or referral to judicial authorities for investigation. To enhance the disclosure of the Company’s ethical corporate management information, a whistleblowing system has been established in the “Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct”. A whistleblowing mailbox is available on the Company website to provide a channel for receiving reports.
Prevention of Insider Trading
The Company has established the “Procedures for Handling Material Inside Information and Prevention of Insider Trading”, which prohibit insiders from using non-public information to trade securities for profit.
Advocacy and Education and Training
Starting from 2023, an annual online awareness and training session will be conducted, covering topics such as insider trading prevention and ethical corporate management and guidelines for the adoption of codes of ethical conduct. An online test will be administered immediately after the training
