That is why we have implemented a results-driven salary distribution approach, ensuring fair compensation for everyone. (In 2023, we addressed over 400 instances of gender-based salary disparities proactively.) We believe that optimizing the working environment for employees and fostering a collaborative atmosphere is crucial. That is why we have established a Workers Committee, ensuring that every employee's voice is seen, heard, valued, and acted upon. We sincerely appreciate your feedback on employee development. Your suggestions are very valuable to us. We will continue to strive for improvement and refinement to meet employees' expectations. Your growth is our growth.
