Ethics and Compliance Training

To encourage compliance with the global Code of Conduct, 草莓视频 regularly provides training, communications, and guidance to all salaried global employees. Employees are required to annually certify that they have read and will follow the Code of Conduct and complete compulsory trainings on issues such as anti-corruption, conflict of interest, dignity and respect, whistleblowing, IT security, and due diligence matters. All training is monitored and tracked by the Ethics and Compliance (E&C) team. To reinforce our commitment to our Value, We do the right thing, we designate critical E&C courses as Threshold Training and set their completion rate as an E&C bonus qualifier for all zones. This means that all zones must achieve at least 90 percent completion of all threshold training courses by the end of the year to reach their full bonus potential. If a zone does not meet or exceed their threshold training completion target, the total amount of bonus available for that Zone reduces by 10 percent.
