Cheil Worldwide Obtains International Standard Certification 'ISO 45001'

Cheil Worldwide announced on the 26th that it has become the first company in the domestic advertising industry to obtain the international standard occupational health and safety management system certification, ‘ISO 45001’.

‘ISO 45001’ is an international standard for occupational health and safety management established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Certification is granted to companies that have systems in place to create a safe working environment by proactively identifying various potential hazards in the workplace and preventing industrial accidents.

Cheil Worldwide has continuously strived for safety management. In 2021, it became the first in the industry to establish a dedicated safety and health team. With consulting from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, it also became the first in the industry to develop safety management processes and detailed manuals for external mobile workplaces such as advertising shoots and exhibition sites, which were distributed to employees and partner companies.

The company has also operated a work stoppage right system for employees, including those of partner companies, since 2021. Regular risk assessments of facilities at workplaces such as the Itaewon headquarters are conducted, and safety campaigns and safety training for employees and partner companies are held periodically.

As a result of these efforts, Cheil Worldwide achieved zero-accident workplaces for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022. Additionally, it was the only company in the industry to receive an A+ (Excellent) grade in the social category in the 2023 ESG evaluation announced by the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS), an ESG evaluation agency.

Cheil Worldwide expects that obtaining the ISO 45001 certification will further strengthen the company’s occupational health and safety management system. Through this, it anticipates ensuring the safety and health of employees and stakeholders, which will positively impact the company’s sustainable growth.

A Cheil Worldwide representative stated, “Based on the international standard certification obtained this time, we plan to continuously strive to promote safety and health together with employees and partner companies, including achieving the goal of zero safety accidents.”
