Chairmans Commitment
Although Yang Ming has won admiration from clients worldwide, we continually demand ourselves to make more innovations for further breakthroughs in our global liner services. We are confident that each of us is proud of what we have achieved in recent years, both individually and collectively.
At a time of ever increasing expansion and globalization of our Group, we deeply recognize that the key to continuous growth lies in the delivery of excellent and reliable service and the cultivation of choice corporate culture. In other words, we should not make our core values just as empty words but practice them in earnest in our everyday work: the spirit of respecting harmony, an emphasis on teamwork, the pursuit of innovation, integrity and pragmatism. These values provide Yang Ming with the mechanism of growth and the momentum for continually transcending the business cycle.
In light of today's fiercely competitive environment, all members of Yang Ming Group need work as a team to seek and attain sustainable, effective development and long-term growth. Sharing integrated viewpoints and uniting together to develop a stronger image of excellence and trustworthiness is a crucial step in gaining the confidence of our customers, interested parties and the general public. As such, providing the Code of Conduct and the Code of Ethical Management for Yang Ming Group Members is a worthy priority in maintaining our honorable standard of conduct.
These codes can enhance our corporate reputation in the public’s eye, and more importantly can also forge us together in our efforts to uphold the quality of our daily operations. They can also provide each Yang Ming Group member with the same general principles in passing their judgment and pursuing their tasks.
All members are expected to understand these Codes, recognize how individual conduct will influence Yang Ming as a whole, and contribute to the Group's sustainability.
