CSR POLICY

                           CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY

INTRODUCTION

With business philosophy: Continuously maintain, stabilize and develop business activities and services in business fields to:

- Maximize benefits and enhance the value of the Company in harmony with the interests of shareholders.

- Continuously improve the lives, income, and working environment of workers.

- Ensure the interests of other stakeholders aiming for sustainable and responsible development. However:

Business is about more than just making a profit. Climate change, economic inequality, and other global challenges that impact communities worldwide have compelled companies to be purpose-driven and contribute to the greater good.

Social responsibility allows the company's business interests to be reconciled with the legitimate interests of the different stakeholders that may be affected, and also assumes the impact of the company's activities on the community in general and the environment.

The present Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (hereinafter, “CSR Policy”) of New World Logistics J/S Company (NWL) intends to establish a reference framework, from which the actions necessary to comply with it are taken.
