The Group Global CSR Committee was established in March 2007 and is headed by Group Chairman Young Liu. The CSR Committee reports on CSR progress to the Chairman every two weeks. CSR implementation results are reported monthly to the Board's Management Committee and at least once a year to the Board. CSR Committee has a dedicated staff responsible for compilation of CSR systems and regulations, monitoring of CSR policies and plans, regular follow-up and evaluation of CSR execution and performance, and review of CSR reports, as well as promotion and internalization of corporate social and environmental duties within the Group's corporate culture. Each business group under the Group has established CSR sub-committees to implement the Group's CSR policies; these sub-committees are supervised by the CSR Committee. The CSR Committee organizes internal audit activities each year and convenes personnel from dedicated units, including Human Resources, Fire/Industrial Safety, Environmental Protection and Energy/Carbon Reduction units. Internal audits for labor, ethics, health and safety, environment, and management systems are conducted at each factory in accordance with RBA standards to ensure compliance with CSR policies and guidelines.
