DO THE RIGHT THING,
COMPLIANCE FIRST
Scroll
Compliance management is an essential part of our philosophy for sustainability across all our activities. Procedures and systems are in place to ensure that compliance and business ethics are fully honored in all interactions with our stakeholders including our members, customers and business partners. In the latter half of 2019, a new Code of Conduct was adopted that combines an ethics charter, code of ethical practices and global compliance guidelines. The Code of Conduct provides the basis that our members in and outside Korea as well as our business partners use to make value judgments and take actions. We also have a compliance officer, who is responsible for compliance control, and an organization supporting him/her to review how compliance plans are set up and implemented to report findings from the review to the board of directors. To ensure efficient compliance and ethical management, we maintain a risk management system and standard procedures for the contract and internal control system to prevent any violation or unethical behavior.
Hyundai Mobis is deriving important corporate risks by conducting regular assessments on types of compliance risks such as non-compliance with work ethics including anti-corruption such as bribery, harassment, and sexual harassment. In addition, based on the results of assessment, we are conducting coaching for team leaders to eliminate risks, team-level seminars, and other improvement activities.
