[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Shinsegae DF announced on the 7th that it has obtained the international standard certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (ISO 45001).

The certification award ceremony was held the day before at Shinsegae DF headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, attended by Shinsegae DF CEO Yushin Yeol, BSI Korea (British Standards Institution Korea branch) CEO Lim Seonghwan, and others.

The international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (ISO 45001) is an international standard certification system granted by BSI Korea to organizations whose safety and health management systems have reached an international level to prevent various risk factors and accidents in the workplace in advance and to create and maintain a safe environment.

Shinsegae DF stated, "Along with the headquarters, all domestic business sites including Shinsegae Duty Free Myeongdong Main Store, Incheon Airport Branch, Busan Branch, and Integrated Logistics Center underwent a thorough review for about two months and obtained the certification."

Shinsegae DF explained that it recognizes occupational health and safety management as a core management element of all corporate activities and has continuously strengthened the occupational health and safety management system. They established safety and health management policies and settled a safety and health culture within the company, as well as conducted safety inspections of facilities within stores. They also made company-wide efforts such as establishing a separate safety specialist organization. To prevent customer safety accidents, they regularly conducted emergency response education and training for all employees and introduced eco-friendly packaging materials for the first time in the industry.

A Shinsegae Duty Free official said, "Shinsegae DF prioritizes the safety of employees and customers and actively promotes occupational health and safety management activities," adding, "We will continue to do our best to provide a safe and comfortable environment for both employees and customers."
