It continues by holding training or reassigning positions for all employees to ensure they can do their jobs and uphold the KFTD code of ethics.
2. Business Partner
KFTD ensures a clean business process by conducting due diligence on its partners, including distributors, vendors, and contractors. KFTD also briefly assesses its joint venture partners to see how they handle any bribery or corruption issues.
3. High-risk Business Activities
