During 2021, the Sustainability Steering Committee met regularly by video conference. It received quarterly status reports on the progress of the projects and made any necessary decisions. Our sustainability management contributes to risk minimization and opens opportunities in the marketing of sustainable products. We intend to reduce risks in the areas relating to environmental protection, safety, health protection, product responsibility, compliance as well as labor and social standards by globally setting uniform standards. These often go beyond local legal requirements. We check their compliance using internal monitoring systems, such as our CSA Tool, audits, and complaint mechanisms (codeofconduct@cht.com). Our globally valid Code of Conduct, which the management and all employees are committed to observe, creates a binding framework.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT MAKES AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO RISK MINIMIZATION.
