Implementing the integrity system buildingIn strict compliance with relevant laws and regulations, BNBM has formulated a series of systems and policies,including theBNBM Policy for Improving the Party Conduct and Upholding Integrity and the Provisions of BNBMDiscipline Inspection Committee on the Integrity Commitment System for Leaders. We also continue to improve anduphold the culture of integrity and anti-corruption. This year, we developed and revised more than 10 provisions,including the BNBMMeasures for the Implementation of Major Supervision (Trial).In this way, we have continued toimprove the “Great Supervision
” working mechanism, and coordinated the internal supervision resources toestablish a supervision system with unified objectives, clear rights and responsibilities, and collaborative efforts.The company insists on integrating integrity construction into its central work. The Party committee (a board-levelcommittee that leading the company’s daily operation together with other committees under the Board) of thecompany effectively fulfils the main responsibility, the secretary of the party committee fulfils the responsibility ofthe first person responsible, and the members of the party committee strictly implement the “One Position, DualObligations”
rule. The Discipline Inspection Commission Office of the Company carries out the supervision andinspection to implement the spirit of the eight requirements, while the Supervisory and Enforcement Office ofDiscipline Inspection Commission carries out political supervision. All types of supervisory authorities work togetherto build a solid regulatory bond.This year, the Company and46affiliated companies in signing theLetter of Responsibility for Improving PartyConduct and Upholding Integrity. It has clarified 32key performance indicators for the integrity building within theParty and the responsibility for managing and governing the Party. As a result, a responsibility system of“responsibility fulfilment supervised by each upper level and implementation assured at all levels”, as well as awork pattern of “joint efforts and joint governance”, have been established.
“Great Supervision” refers to the in-depth integration of internal Party supervision and corporate management supervision, fullyleveraging thestrengths of both Party building and corporate governance. This approach enables various supervision forces to complement each other with a focuson the weak links in corporate development, devising strategies for addressing issues, and establishing a comprehensive and multidimensionalsupervision system with vertically segmented oversight chains and horizontally coordinated supervision bodies based on business divisions.
The “One Position, Dual Obligations” rule requires that a single role carries both the responsibility for improving conduct and upholding integritywithin the Party, and for the operational management.
Multiple reportingchannels andwhistleblowingsystem
The Company has established an open and transparent supervision and reportingchannel, through which employees, consumers, suppliers and other stakeholders canreport potential violations of laws and regulations such as corruption, fraud, unfaircompetition and conflicts of interest and other behaviourthat violate business ethics vialetters, phone calls, emails or in-person reports.
