As demands for ESG management among companies increase, SK Hynix has been pursuing evaluations from global certification bodies for its established compliance and anti-bribery management systems. SK Hynix stated, “We successfully completed the preparation and evaluation process based on the currently operating compliance system, and our achievement in building a management system that meets international standards was recognized by the reputable institution BSI. This is the first time a domestic semiconductor company has obtained both certifications.”

The certification awarding ceremony was held at SK Hynix’s Bundang Campus on the same day. Attendees included Lim Seong-hwan, CEO of BSI Korea, and SK Hynix Vice Presidents Kim Yoon-wook (in charge of Sustainability Management) and Park Soo-man (in charge of Ethical Management).

Vice President Kim said, “Taking this certification as an opportunity, the company will strengthen preventive measures against risks related to domestic and international regulatory compliance,” adding, “We will strive to grow as a semiconductor company trusted by stakeholders based on the world’s highest level of corporate governance.”
