LX Suncheon Branch Strengthens Commitment to Integrity in Front of Palm Monument

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] “We will raise individual awareness of integrity to meet the public’s expectations, and furthermore, contribute to improving the nation’s integrity level to become a trusted institution by the people.”

Park Gwan-sik, head of the Suncheon branch of Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation (LX), along with about 20 others, recently reaffirmed their commitment to integrity in front of the ‘Suncheon Palmabi,’ designated as a national treasure in 2021. This event was planned to commemorate the ‘Suncheon Palmabi,’ which was designated as National Cultural Heritage (Treasure) No. 2122 on March 25.

The Suncheon Palmabi is a stele erected in 1281 (the 7th year of King Chungnyeol) to honor the integrity of Choi Seok (催碩), the magistrate of Seungpyeongbu. It is regarded as a symbol commemorating the good governance and virtuous conduct of local officials. Choi Seok eliminated the malpractice of gifting horses to magistrates by returning both the horses he received as gifts and the foals born to his horses while in Seungpyeongbu (present-day Suncheon) when he left office.

The oath of integrity conducted that day included pledges to maintain an honest public service free from accepting money or favors, to foster a trustworthy public and social atmosphere, and to comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

Park Gwan-sik, head of LX Suncheon branch, emphasized, “Along with about 20 employees, we must raise individual awareness of integrity in front of the Palmabi honoring Seungpyeongbu magistrate Choi Seok’s integrity, meet the public’s expectations, and further contribute to improving the nation’s integrity level to become a trusted institution by the people.”
