To accelerate digitalization, the company is also speeding up the establishment of a company-wide digital innovation culture and talent development. It is noteworthy that all employees are required to take courses to improve digital literacy to strengthen digital utilization capabilities.

Efforts are also being made to cultivate digital experts through programs such as the "Digital Internal Certification Course," "Digital Acceleration Course," and "Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Analysis and Design Course." To foster a digital innovation culture, an internal "Startup OJT Program" for employees is also underway.
