'ISO37301' is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in April 2021. It is a certification system that evaluates whether the level of compliance in management activities and risk response systems meet global standards, proving that an organization's management system is operated in a compliant manner.


The Forest Welfare Institute, having obtained the Anti-Corruption Management System (ISO37001) certification in 2020 through ethical management practices, has officially been recognized this year for operating its institutional ethical management system at an international level by additionally acquiring the ISO37301 certification.


Earlier, in August, the Forest Welfare Institute established a compliance policy, identified compliance violation risks by department, and promoted activities to improve ethical management.


It has also continuously made efforts to create a fair and transparent organization by operating an anonymous reporting channel and requiring all employees to complete anti-corruption integrity training.


Next month, the Forest Welfare Institute plans to hold its first Internal Control Committee meeting to strengthen the internal control system and to promote activities such as campaigns and contests to spread ethical management culture both internally and externally.



Nam Taeheon, President of the Korea Forest Welfare Institute, stated, “The Korea Forest Welfare Institute will continue to establish an internal control system through compliance management and strengthen ESG management by fostering a global-level ethical management culture.”
