Seoul Gangseo-gu, Campaign to Promote Integrity Culture and Eradicate Gapjil Practices

Emphasizing the Practice of Integrity in Daily Life, Including Eradication of Unnecessary Practices and Prohibition of Misconduct

Gangseo-gu, Seoul, held an integrity campaign on the 31st to spread a culture of integrity within the organization and to enhance employees' voluntary commitment to practice it.

The morning commute campaign, conducted from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. in front of the main and annex buildings of the district office, was attended by about 30 people, including officials from Gangseo-gu Office and the Gangseo-gu branch of the National Public Officials Labor Union.

They used sashes and placards bearing the Gangseo-gu integrity slogan, "Practice 'Cheong' (cleanliness) and 'Jeong' (honesty) not by force but by 'Gang' (strong) and 'Seo' (practice)," along with promotional materials for integrity practice, to raise awareness of the importance of practicing integrity in daily life.

The promotional materials for integrity practice included six tasks: ▲ eradicating unnecessary customs such as distributing rice cakes during promotions or transfers ▲ prohibiting misconduct such as accepting money or entertainment ▲ performing duties transparently and fairly ▲ establishing a healthy culture of company dinners, among others.

Additionally, the district attached integrity slogans to corporate cards used by each department to remind employees of their commitment to integrity in everyday activities.

An official from the district stated, "Integrity is a fundamental virtue for public officials, so we launched this campaign to raise employees' awareness of practicing integrity. We will continue to do our best to create a more fair and transparent public service culture trusted by residents."

Meanwhile, the district is tightening efforts to create a more transparent public service culture, not resting on the achievement of a Grade 2 rating in the '2022 Public Institution Comprehensive Integrity Evaluation' conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

At the 'Integrity Communication Team' meeting held on the 28th, including Park Dae-woo, Acting Mayor of Gangseo-gu, and senior officials, they reviewed the progress of integrity policy implementation and reaffirmed their commitment to leading the creation of Gangseo as the number one place for integrity.
