Governance Framework
SJC is committed to operating with the highest standards of corporate governance, business ethics, and transparency. Our governance framework is designed to protect shareholder rights, treat all stakeholders fairly, and ensure long-term sustainable value creation.
We adhere to the principles of good corporate governance set out by the Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and international best practices including the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance.
The Five Principles of Good Governance
SJC's governance framework is built on five core principles:
- Rights of Shareholders — Protecting and facilitating the exercise of shareholder rights
- Equitable Treatment of Shareholders — Ensuring equal treatment, including minority and foreign shareholders
- Role of Stakeholders — Recognizing the rights of all stakeholders and encouraging active cooperation
- Disclosure and Transparency — Timely and accurate disclosure on all material matters
- Responsibilities of the Board — Strategic guidance, effective monitoring of management, and accountability to shareholders
Board of Directors
The Board provides strategic oversight and is accountable for SJC's long-term success. Composition emphasizes independence, diversity, and relevant expertise. The Board operates through several specialized committees:
- Audit Committee
- Nomination and Compensation Committee
- Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee
- Risk Management Committee
Code of Conduct
Every employee, director, and business partner is expected to operate in accordance with the SJC Code of Conduct. This document covers ethics, anti-corruption, conflicts of interest, fair competition, human rights, environmental protection, and workplace safety.
We provide regular training, maintain a clear escalation channel, and ensure consequences for violations.
Whistleblower System
SJC operates an independent whistleblower channel that allows any employee, customer, supplier, or third party to confidentially report suspected violations of law, regulations, or our Code of Conduct. Reports are investigated by the Audit Committee, and we have a strict no-retaliation policy.
Risk Management
SJC maintains a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management framework that identifies, assesses, and mitigates strategic, operational, financial, and emerging risks including climate-related risks. The Risk Management Committee oversees the framework and reports to the Board.
