SH Corporation Obtains Disaster Reduction Excellence Certification from Ministry of the Interior and Safety

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH Corporation) announced on the 30th that it has obtained the 'Disaster Mitigation Excellent Company Certification' from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The Disaster Mitigation Excellent Company Certification is a certification system led by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety that evaluates activities such as prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery by establishing a disaster mitigation activity plan to quickly restore a company's core functions in the event of a disaster, and efficiently utilizing internal resources and capabilities.

The system is in its early stages of implementation, and until now, certification has mainly been acquired by national public enterprises. However, SH Corporation proactively responded by promoting the acquisition of the 'Disaster Mitigation Excellent Company Certification' since May. As a result, it is explained that SH Corporation is the first among 15 local public enterprises subject to management evaluation (urban development group) to obtain the 'Disaster Mitigation Excellent Company Certification.'

The validity period of this certification is until 2023. During the certification validity period, SH Corporation will be exempt from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's functional continuity plan implementation inspection.

Kim Seyong, President of SH Corporation, said, "As disasters become more complex and unpredictable, the importance of disaster preparedness is increasing," adding, "We will promptly restore SH Corporation's core tasks in the event of disasters and minimize damage while strengthening the social responsibility of public institutions."
