Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value input from both current and former colleagues, as it helps us reflect, improve, and ensure transparency in our practices. We would like to clarify a few points raised: 1. Internal Promotions: The Authorization Lead position mentioned was filled through an internal promotion. This reflects our ongoing commitment to developing and advancing internal talent. We continue to recognize high performers across teams and strive to provide them with growth opportunities. 2. Hiring Practices and SAP Strategy: In line with our long-term Digitalization strategy, we have made a significant investment in SAP and related technologies. To support this transition effectively, certain roles required highly specialized external expertise that complemented our internal strengths. Our hiring decisions are based on a balance of business needs, strategic goals, and available internal capabilities. 3. Workplace Principles: Across all teams, we aim to operate with a mindset focused on quality, efficiency, and responsible resource management. These values guide our daily operations and support the sustainability of our organization. If any individual has experienced or observed specific concerns, we strongly encourage them to reach out directly to our HR team and address your concerns. We are committed to ensuring a fair, inclusive, and supportive work environment and take such matters seriously. Thank you again for raising your concerns.
