Governance

Longfor Group strictly adheres to the Company Law of the People's Republic of China and all other applicable laws and regulations. We have established a sound and efficient corporate governance structure to enhance its corporate governance continuously. As the highest governance body of the Group, the Board of Directors is responsible for leading and supervising the Group's business, strategic policies, and performance, as well as performing corporate governance duties. The Board consists of an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee, a Nomination Committee, an Investment Committee, and an Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee to ensure the Board's effective operation.

Longfor Group has established the Board Diveꦫrsity Policy, because we view board diversity as crucial for achieving sustainable development. We consider various factors, including but not limited to professional experience, cultural and educational background, specialization skills, gender, age, and length of service, when selecting board members. In addition, we regularly review the implementation of board diversity to promote balanced and sustainable corporate development.

The Group maintains a "zero tolerance" approach towards corruption and bribery. The day-to-day supervision and management of business ethics issues are entrusted to the Group's Audit Committee. In 2023, we updated the Code of Longfor Business Conduct which encompass anti-corruption and bribery, anti-monopoly and unfair competition, anti-money laundering, and whistleblowing principles. All employees, including senior management and new hires, were required to sign the Code of Conduct, resulting in a 100% signing rate for all employees, including directors and senior manag🔯ement personnel in 2023. The Group distributed the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Rules to all employees, explicitly forbidding any form of corruption and bribery and outlining a clear reporting and handling process. This significantly increased employee awareness of anti-corruption and integrity.

We provide multiple channels for reporting business ethics issues. We have revised the reporting process and procedures in 2022 and designated a person in the 400 customer service center to answer integrity reporting calls to improve efficiency. The Company has formulated the Whistleblower Protection Policy to enhance the whistleblower p🍎rotection mechanism.
