All our divisions, officers and employees will work together to appropriately manage risks based on the relevant internal regulations centered on the various meetings comprised of Directors and other officers and the Risk Management Division which periodically identifies risk information and then centrally manages it.

Accordingly, all our officers and employees will engage in total customer satisfaction (TCS) activities aimed at improving customer satisfaction.
