Implementation of Corporate Integrity

Giant Group has established a part-time unit (Global Human Resources Center) under its board of directors to promote corporate integrity management. This part-time unit reports its implementation status to the board of directors on an annual basis. To prevent a conflict of interest and provide a proper channel of presentation, Giant Group has established the "Code of Conduct on Integrity for Giant Manufacturing Co. Ltd" and "Giant Group Employee Integrity Guidelines" in 2015 and 2017, respectively. In addition, our senior executives communicate Giant Group’s brand values - integrity, partnership, passion, and challenge - and the importance of integrity within a business to all at monthly meetings. These brand values of ours are also printed on our uniforms across the world.
