Items this document does not state (8)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.While human capital management and human capital information disclosure are advancing, insufficient scrutiny has been given to the quality of the capability data underpinning them. The analysis empirically demonstrates the actual extent of assessment bias and the effectiveness of bias-correction technology.
