Led by the Compliance Management Team, the dedicated compliance management organization of SeAH Steel Holdings Co., Ltd., they have carried out systematic and rigorous compliance activities that meet global standards, including ▲establishing compliance management system work procedures ▲systematic risk identification and setting control measures for each risk ▲acquiring internal auditor qualifications and conducting internal audits ▲compliance monitoring.

In particular, SeAH Steel Holdings Co., Ltd. plans to complete within this year the establishment of an interactive ‘Integrated Compliance Platform’ that allows employees to directly participate through compliance lectures and information sharing to spread a culture of compliance within the company. This platform will further enhance the company’s transparency and credibility among various stakeholders.

A representative of SeAH Steel Holdings Co., Ltd. said, "Obtaining the ‘ISO 37301’ certification for the compliance management system, the first in the domestic steel industry, is highly meaningful as it objectively recognizes our overall compliance management activities.
