Based on its responsible minerals policy, it preemptively checks for issues such as human rights violations, environmental destruction, and funding of conflict groups within the raw material supply chain.

A company official stated, "We will continue to strengthen compliance-based management activities that adhere to laws and regulations and enhance practical ESG management capabilities that global stakeholders can empathize with."
