Customer Relationship Management

Importance

(GRI 3-3a, GRI 3-3b, GRI 3-3c, GRI 3-3e)

          OR is committed to leveraging digital technologies and AI in its business operations to enhance operational efficiency and respond to consumers and customers in a timely manner, for example by improving accessibility to product information, which enables broader and more inclusive access to services. Nevertheless, OR recognizes the challenges and potential impacts arising from the use of digital technologies and AI, particularly on people and customers. These include personal data protection risks resulting from unauthorized access if control measures are inadequate, as well as inequitable access to services that may arise from algorithmic errors.
          Accordingly, OR is committed to sustainable business development with a customer-centric approach, operating with transparency and accountability, and maintaining stringent customer data protection practices. OR provides channels for customers to express opinions and reflect their needs, and establishes control measures to prevent and promptly address potential issues. In addition, OR places importance on continuous monitoring and assessment of customer satisfaction, using the results to continuously improve and enhance service quality, thereby creating positive customer experiences, confidence, and long-term trust, while preventing adverse impacts on stakeholders.

            OR is committed to building sustainable relationships with customers across all segments by lying the foundation for enhancing understanding of our customers through customer relationship management guidelines. We employ a variety of customer engagement methods, including site visits and direct communication with customers, as well as using technology to reach larger number of customers. This is the operating procedure that is consistent with our “Relationship” value, which is one of the organization’s five core values. (For more information, see OR DNA in the Workforce Development and Well-being
             As OR’s businesses involve both corporate and individual customers, we have developed guidelines for customer relationship management tailored for each customer type, as outlined below:

We have also opened various communication channels, such as Facebook and LINE, so as to be able to access customers’ suggestions and respond to them.
  • OR ensures that all store branches have accessible channels for complaints and suggestions.

          Additionally, OR has established a Voice of Customer (VOC) to manage and analyze customer contact data and consolidate insights into the Voice of Customer to reflect the company’s business operations to relevant departments and senior executives for use in developing products and services to increase customer satisfaction. This covers providing business information, product information and various services, as well as receiving compliments, suggestions and complaints from customers by coordinating with relevant departments to solve problems and follow up and inform customers of the performance.

Online Business Strategy

            OR sets a marketing strategy that connects with customers at all times, at all ages, and allows them to conveniently order and pay for products. The platform also connects with product delivery systems to ensure that customers receive products as they need. The platform can also be a channel for publicizing interesting information that is easy to understand and increases the attraction for customers to use the service. It also takes into account the cybersecurity of users’ personal information, with a regular check of the system’s security standards.
            In addition, OR offers a variety of online business channels, as illustrated below:

Customer Privacy Protection

             OR considers the cyber security of customers’ personal information. In doing so, OR has a system to check on the security standard of the system. Furthermore, the Corporate Governance, Ethical Standards, and Code of Business Ethics Handbook explicitly stipulates the requirements to maintain the confidentiality of customer information, whether that be personal information, suggestions, compliments, or complaints. In the event that a customer suggestion or complaint is associated with an employee from relevant departments, the complaint respondent will reach out to that customer to request permission to disclose their personal information to the relevant employee. However, if the customer does not consent, OR will maintain customer confidentiality and keep their personal information hidden.

In 2025, OR maintained zero reported violations of customer privacy and customer data loss incidents.

Customer and Consumer Satisfaction Measurement

            OR conducts customer and consumer satisfaction and engagement surveys on an annual basis. The surveys cover the Mobility and Lifestyles business in all areas of the country, using the model proposed by third-party consultants to analyze satisfaction and engagement, comparing benchmarks and competitors, in order to use the information to develop and improve the quality of products and services in the business processes in line with the competitive situation, and customer’s needs and expectations. An analysis is carried out and compared with that of the previous year, together with the benchmarks and competitor comparisons. The end results are presented to the responsible department, line executives and the meeting of the Company’s Management Committee (ORMC).
            The surveys are divided into customer group (B2B) and consumer group (B2C) to assess satisfaction with products and services at each touch point according to business processes and marketing mix, including comments and suggestions directed at OR.

Complaint Management Mechanism

             In addition to collecting customers’ opinions through the surveys, complaint channels are also important avenues to receive information from customers. OR provides various channels for customers to submit their complaints, comments, and/or suggestions. The personnel involved in processing complaints have received training to ensure that the customers receive timely responses and are consistent with OR’s standards.

            Upon receiving complaints from customers, the assigned OR personnel would screen the types of issues reported in by the customers. The complaint would then be forwarded to relevant agency for corrective action to be resolved within the prescribed timeframe, and the status of the resolution of issue followed up according to recommendations to the relevant department. The result would then be reported to the customers. This information would be recorded in the imind Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
            The CRM hosts a variety of data points, such as complaint statistics, type of complaints, and approach used to resolve the complaint, and they are analyzed on a continuous basis. Once analyzed, reports are developed and shared to executives of relevant business units on a monthly basis. Customer suggestions are reviewed, analyzed, and used to develop annual business development plans. In this way, we ensure that our actions respond to customer needs, contributing to an inclusive business growth that supports sustainable development in the OR way.

        In addition, the results of customer data analyses are presented to the OR Management Committee (ORMC) on a quarterly basis, and topics related to SSHE are presented to the OR Group Quality, Safety, Health, and Environment Management Committee (OR QSHE GMC), which is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer and President. At the meeting, key complaints are summarized and classified by business category. After the Committee is reported of the complaints, they will then assign responsibility to relevant departments to take corrective action and follow up on the progress of such complaints. Relevant departments will also be assigned to close the worksheet according to the Service Level Agreement that the department has set. Process is as follows.

            OR will collect the results of the integrated actions on complaints and suggestions from customers and consumers to improve the product, and publish it as a case study through OR’s communication channels to ensure that the customers and consumers are aware of the actions taken, along with the results of the operations in each year, including the customer and consumer satisfaction scores.
