[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) announced on the 8th that it has obtained the renewal certification for the Anti-Bribery Management System (ISO 37001), established by the International Organization for Standardization, from the Korean Standards Association.

ISO 37001 is an international standard certification granted by ISO, established in 2016, which comprehensively evaluates whether a company has an appropriate and effective management system that meets international standards to prevent corruption.

Since its initial certification in 2018, KAI has continuously conducted sound ethical management activities such as company-wide risk assessments, ethics practice education for executives and employees, and compliance pledges to reduce corruption risks.

By identifying and improving ethical compliance risk factors for 223 internal teams, KAI has proactively managed corruption risks and expanded the ethical compliance code of conduct not only to executives and employees but also to the board of directors and partner companies, strengthening the spread of a transparent and fair business culture.

In particular, the CEO, as the leader of ethical compliance management, establishes and implements annual anti-corruption goals and has made efforts to improve actual integrity through the CEO review report, which directly evaluates the effectiveness of the anti-bribery management system.

A KAI official stated, “Thanks to the efforts and participation of all members in the implementation and practice of the anti-bribery management system,” adding, “We will enhance management transparency based on fundamentals and principles and grow as a model company in South Korea’s defense industry.”
