[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] DL E&C announced on the 3rd that it held a certificate awarding ceremony for the international standard for anti-corruption management systems, ‘ISO 37001,’ on the 2nd at the D Tower Donuimun building in Jongno, Seoul.

The ceremony was attended by DL Group Vice Chairman Bae Won-bok and Korea Standards Association Chairman Kang Myung-soo. Established in 2016, ISO 37001 is an international standard certification granted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) after a comprehensive evaluation of whether a company has established a management system that meets international standards for anti-corruption.

To obtain this certification, DL E&C formed a dedicated team starting in January this year and appointed an operations manager to oversee the anti-corruption management system across all business areas. In particular, as a developer, the company focused on restructuring its existing ethics management system to comply with international standards in order to build trust with global customers.

Previously, DL E&C declared its global ethics management in 2019. Given the increasing global demand for ethical management through anti-corruption agreements and international norms, the purpose was to encourage each employee to take the lead in ethical management and establish a foundation for sustainable growth to compete in the global market. Alongside this, DL E&C practices ethical management by adhering to its code of ethics, ethical guidelines, and implementation directives, as well as operating a cyber whistleblower system and a fair trade compliance program.

Vice Chairman Bae Won-bok stated, "Through ESG management, DL, which is advancing as a global developer, has established a solid foundation to build international trust through this certification," and added, "Starting with DL E&C, we will expand ISO 37001 certification throughout the DL Group to establish transparent ethical management."
