Principle of Lotte
Politics is the process of democracy that makes the world better by gathering various opinions based on the principle of one-man one-vote for all members of the nation. We believe that the world could develop further through such processes. If a company is involved in such a fair process in an unfair way, it would become an obstacle in making a better world.
