This refers to four basic principles that serve as a guideline for every step to be taken by the Company’s Management or employees on all levels of the organization. These four basic principles are:
Transparency
Transparency is a commitment to ensuring the availability of material information to be accessed by the stakeholders. This information may include the Company’s financial position, the management, and the ownership structure. Such information must be made available in an accurate, clear, and timely manner.
Accountability
Accountability ensures the presence of mechanisms, roles and responsibilities needed for the professional management of the Company upon all the decisions and policies that are taken and that affect the Company’s operational activities.
Responsibility
Responsibility provides a clear explanation of the roles of each party in achieving the common goals, and ensures that all relevant regulations and social norms have been adhered to.
Fairness
Fairness ensures that all decisions and policies implemented are aligned with the interest of the stakeholders, including the customers, vendors, shareholders, investors, and the general public.

RISK MANAGEMENT
An effective and accurate risk management in business is inseparable from the coordinated measures to achieve the Company’s given performance targets and to apply the principles of Good Corporate Governance comprehensively.
A high-quality risk management is critical for the Company to address the business risks arising from internal and external factors.
The Company has identified a number of risks based on the risk impacts on its business activities and finance in order to ensure an effective, efficient, and reliable operational process. Therefore, the Company’s strategy can be successfully implemented and Good Corporate Governance can be accordingly performed.
The following is a list of business risks faced by the Company in doing its business activities:
Risk of Business Competition
In the ICT and digital products and services distribution business, the Company faces increasingly tougher competition from the proliferation of new players in the arena, where each player strives to maintain and even expand its market share. If the Company fails to expand its market share and improve services to its customers, its ability to generate revenues or profits will decrease.
Risk of Limited ICT Human Resources in Indonesia
In realizing the ICT and digital business development plan, the Company relies on competent, skilled, and expert talents for its business growth. Should the Company fail to retain its executives and experts, a high turnover of employees may occur as a result. Subsequently, should the Company fail to recruit new employees as the replacements, the Company’s performance may be affected, and its revenues may be potentially reduced.
Risk of Competition with Some Customers
A majority of the Company’s hardware sales are achieved through resellers. The Company’s strategy is to provide access for corporate buyers to make direct purchases with the Company. This strategy creates competition for the resellers as the Company’s customers while concurrently being the sellers in the corporate market of the products they sell. This strategy may affect the Company’s transactional relationship with resellers, which will, in turn, affect the Company’s performance and reduce its revenues.
Risk of Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuations
Certain ICT products offered by the Company are sourced from principals in foreign countries and thus their prices are linked to certain exchange rates. Although some of the principals have set up representative offices in Indonesia and therefore are selling their products in Rupiah, changes in prices that may result from the strengthening of certain foreign currencies may result in a decline in the demand for these products. This may in turn carry an adverse impact on the Company’s revenue and financial condition.
Risk Mitigation
Every significant risk faced by the Company has been mitigated in its daily operational activities, including by: - Planning a sound business strategy which addresses the interests of all relevant stakeholders; - Robust financial planning to protect investment value, capital reserves, and cash flows against various financial risks that may arise; - Various types of approach to increase the number of principals and expand the types of brands/products to be offered to the market, to further increase market share; - Talent and competence development programs, held internally and in collaboration with external parties, to prepare highly qualified talents in the ICT sector; and - Attractive sales programs for dealers and resellers to ensure that the Company’s value proposition remains competitive at all times, and that business competition in the market takes place in an equitable and fair manner.
Risk Management Effectiveness
The efficacy of the corporate-wide risk management system is evaluated regularly at Directors’ meetings. Based on the findings and business results in 2021, the Directors concluded that the risk management system was soundly and integratively implemented throughout 2021. Furthermore, the Directors believes that there is an adequate and strong mechanism in place to manage the risks that may arise in the future to a reasonable degree.
