[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] CJ Freshway announced on the 31st that it has received the ‘Compliance Management System (ISO37301)’ certification, a standard for evaluating corporate compliance management. In addition to the previously acquired certifications for Food Safety (ISO22000), Environment (ISO14001), and Occupational Health and Safety (ISO45001), the company has established management systems in a total of four areas, achieving industry-leading credibility.

The newly acquired Compliance Management System certification serves as a standard set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to evaluate a company’s compliance policies and risk management systems. It encompasses the overall systems and activities that protect organizations and employees from potential risks by ensuring legal compliance and ethical management. CJ Freshway obtained this certification after an audit by the global certification body Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA).

CJ Freshway received positive evaluations regarding the suitability of its compliance management control system and the systematic nature of its internal audits. The establishment of a dedicated organization to carry out various activities for internal communication also played a key role. The company established a Compliance Management Committee to closely monitor compliance systems across all business activities and appointed compliance coordinators in each business division to operate regular consultative bodies. Notably, the role of these consultative bodies in enhancing employees’ understanding of compliance values through education and content, and encouraging participation, was a significant factor in the evaluation during the audit process.

CJ Freshway plans to actively pursue sustainable management by maintaining the certification systems it has acquired, including the Compliance Management System. The company aims to emphasize the value of compliance throughout its business efforts, such as reducing greenhouse gas and waste emissions to respond to climate change and continuously strengthening on-site inspections to ensure a safe working environment.

A CJ Freshway official stated, “This achievement is a certification of our efforts to pursue transparency and fairness throughout our business processes,” adding, “We will further strengthen our ethical management system to realize a healthy food culture and sustainable distribution, which are the goals of sustainable management, and make great efforts to fulfill corporate social responsibility across all areas of our business.”
