ISO 45001 is an international standard for occupational health and safety management systems established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is awarded to companies that systematically manage the safety and health of organizations and workers by predicting and preventing potential risks in the workplace in advance.

Lotte Property & Development set "a safe and healthy workplace without serious industrial accidents" as its safety and health goal and established a dedicated safety management team called the "Safety Management TFT" in January last year. Through the Industrial Safety and Health Council and the Industrial Safety and Health Committee, it listens to the opinions of workers and conducts various consultations related to safety and health.

They also operate an online safety reporting system. If workers or even the general public discover hazardous situations or areas needing improvement at Lotte World Tower, Mall, or external workplaces, anyone can report them through the safety reporting system. Upon receipt of a report, the relevant parties are immediately notified to take action, and the progress is shared with the reporter.

Lotte Property & Development conducts quarterly regular safety training and annual disaster safety training for all employees. They hold 48 fire drills annually, exceeding the legal requirement of once per year, including bi-monthly regular fire drills and emergency standby team drills. They actively participate in joint public-private drills to strengthen safety management capabilities.

On the 21st of last month, a joint public-private fire drill for supertall buildings was conducted at Lotte World Tower. The drill, conducted by the Seoul Fire and Disaster Headquarters, simulated an electric vehicle fire in the underground parking lot of Lotte World Tower. On August 23rd, amid the nationwide civil defense drill for air raid preparedness held for the first time in six years, Lotte World Tower conducted a joint public-private drill with Songpa-gu.

Son Yu-gyeong, Head of the Technology and Safety Division at Lotte Property & Development, said, "We prioritize the safety of customers and employees and are fully committed to safety management." He added, "We will use this ISO 45001 certification as a stepping stone to become a safety landmark representing the Republic of Korea."
