As an important indicator of the governance structure, we designed our senior management structure in compliance with the Corporate Governance Principles. Our Board of Directors, which is the highest managing body that directs our strategies and policies, consists of nine members in total, including the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, General Manager, and six members, and three of them are independent members in accordance with the Corporate Governance Principles. Our Board of Directors consists of nonexecutive members, except the General Manager, and the duties of the General Manager and the Chairman of the Board of Directors are carried out by different people.

The committees that we have formed to carry out active operations for all corporate governance activities, continue their duties within the framework of the working principles specified in the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation.
