Business Ethics and Integrity
Apacer views legal compliance as the foundation for corporate ethics and integrity. Each global business location abides by local laws and regulations. To ensure legal compliance and to avoid conflicts of interest, we have established the “Ethical Corporate Management Best Practice Principles” and the “Code of Ethical Conduct” and continuously keep track of policies and regulations that may affect business and financial operations, allowing us to conduct business activities based on ethical, integral, fair, and transparent principles.
We have additionally established an audit office with dedicated personnel to faithfully assess the effectiveness and reasonableness of internal control compliance. To proactively prevent unethical behaviors in business operations, we have also established a grievance mechanism for employees to report non-compliance with the company's financial, legal, policy, and ethical standards, as well as corruption in any form.
