Stakeholder Identification

Process of Stakeholder Identification:

STEP1 Identify

8 types of stakeholders (customers, competent authorities, employees, suppliers, investors and banks, classification societies, media, and communities and nonprofit organizations) were identified preliminarily through departmental interviews and identification

STEP2 Analyze

According to the 5 principles of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (SES): responsibility, influence, dependency, tension, and diverse perspectives, Stakeholder Identification Questionnaires were distributed to departments

STEP3 Determine

The aforesaid 8 types of stakeholders were simplified to 6 types of key stakeholders, which in order were customers, competent authorities, employees, suppliers, investors and banks, and classification societies

The Company values communication with stakeholders and has established diverse and comprehensive communication channels to keep track of their issues of concern and specific opinions. We assign responsible departments to actively respond to and review these issues and opinions, and make improvements. The results of engagement with stakeholders are reported annually to the Board of Directors.
