GOVERNANCE

LFC Governance Performance

LFC has established advanced corporate governance based on a transparent and professional decision-making system centered on the BOD in order to carry out responsible business management based on ethical management and compliance awareness in its pursuit of sustainable growth.

Furthermore, we are building an integrated risk management system that covers both financial and non-financial aspects to respond systematically to possible risks and enhance our corporate resilience.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors (BOD), LFC’s top decision-making body, has voting rights on corporate management and overall business operations. We operate the BOD transparently in order to carry out our management activities based on rigorous checks and balances. As of March 2022, our BOD consists of three inside directors and four outside directors, all of whom are experts in their respective fields. Based on the principle of independence, the outside directors provide expert opinions on the company’s major decisions from the perspective of sustainability, and also assess and review the company’s performance.
