Ethics and Integrity
Trustworthiness is one of Novatek’s mottos while our management team and all employees are asked to obey and follow. In order to ensure the implementation of the ethical management, Novatek has formulated the “Anti-Corruption, Anti-Bribery Commitment”, “Principles of Ethical Corporate Management” and “Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct” and assigned Intellectual Property & Legal Department and Human Resources Department responsible for the monitoring and implementation of ethical management policies and prevention programs, reporting to the President regularly and annually to the Board of Directors on the implementation status.
Novatek also sets the internal and external reporting mechanisms for violations of ethical management and whistle-blower protection stipulated in “Regulations Governing Grievance and Whistleblowing”. The internal and external reporting mailboxes will automatically forward a copy of the report to the Audit and Risk Committee, Internal Audit supervisor and Intellectual Property & Legal Department director.
In 2024, the Company received 5 cases through the reporting channel. All cases were handled promptly and responded confidentially. There were no cases where ethical misconduct was substantiated through investigations.
The Company emphasizes in the “Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct” training course materials that directors, managers, and other insiders are prohibited from trading stocks during the closed periods, which are defined as 30 days prior to the annual financial reports public disclosure and 15 days prior to each quarterly financial reports public disclosure. Additionally, in January, April, July, and October of 2024, we have separately informed directors and managers via email of the closed periods before each quarterly financial reports public disclosure to remind insiders to avoid inadvertently violating these regulations. |
