[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] SK Stoa announced on the 12th that it received the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award for the first time in T-commerce at the ‘2020 Product Safety Day’ event.

‘2020 Product Safety Day’ is an event hosted by the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Product Safety Management Institute. It awards individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to enhancing industrial competitiveness through product safety in domestic industrial sites.

At the ‘2020 Product Safety Day’ event held on the 11th at COEX in Seoul, SK Stoa received the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award. SK Stoa explained that this recognition was the result of efforts to ensure safety through thorough verification of products sold and to provide accurate product information so that consumers can trust and purchase products with confidence.

In particular, SK Stoa was highly praised for being the first in T-commerce to produce and distribute a product safety guidebook to help partner companies comply with legal product safety requirements, and for leading the co-growth of partners through quality consulting and support for accredited testing costs.

Additionally, SK Stoa received high evaluation for providing accurate product information that meets customer expectations by directly verifying the safety of products sold through the introduction of a secret inspection system and the operation of an in-house QA (Quality Assurance) laboratory.

So far, SK Stoa has also worked proactively to block the distribution of harmful products. From 2017 to 2019, it monitored over 38,000 online products, detected false advertising, exaggerated advertising, and products with non-compliant KC marks and certification information, and suspended sales and requested improvements for these products.

Shin Yang-gyun, Head of SK Stoa’s Management Support Group, said, “We are pleased that SK Stoa was recognized for its efforts in quality management at the most prestigious event in the product safety field as the first in T-commerce.” He added, “We will continue to do our best to ensure happy shopping from the customer’s perspective based on the best quality and service.”
