The Company places importance on building strong relationships and achieving sustainable growth together with its suppliers. It aims to enhance suppliers’ business capabilities, enable them to manage their financial liquidity appropriately, and ensure their readiness to work continuously with the Company throughout the supply chain.

The Company has therefore established appropriate and fair supplier payment practices to support suppliers’ financial liquidity. Payments are made within 30 days from the date on which all documents required under the Company’s conditions are received. This forms part of the Company’s responsible business practices toward stakeholders and contributes to long-term supply chain stability.

In 2025, the Group incurred business-related operating expenses, including related-party transactions, business operation support, corporate communications, investor relations, and consultancy fees. The Company’s average supplier payment period was 22 days, within its established timeframe.
