Code of Conduct for Partners

The goal of the Code of Conduct for MOTREX Partners is for partners who are important business partners of MOTREX to secure business sustainability
through corporate growth and social responsibility management based on this Code of Conduct.

All MOTREX partners should comply with this Code, and should also require all downstream supply chains that
provide them with assembly, parts, raw materials, and packaging to comply therewith.

If the actions recommended and required in this Code of Conduct are inconsistent with the laws of the relevant country,
the laws of the relevant country should prevail, and this Code of Conduct may change in the future in line with domestic
and international progress and trends of industry.
We hope that MOTREX and all of its partners will fulfill their social responsibilities, achieve sustainable and healthy performance,
and grow together by complying with this Code of Conduct through mutual efforts.
