The Excellent Disaster Mitigation Company Certification System is a program in which the government issues certificates to outstanding companies that establish plans to prevent interruption of core functions due to various disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and infectious diseases, and evaluate their execution capabilities in disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery stages by utilizing their own resources and capacities.

BPA first obtained the Excellent Disaster Mitigation Company certification in 2020 through the establishment of a business continuity plan. The certification is valid for three years from the date of certification.

In 2023, BPA, centered on the Disaster Safety Office, redefined core tasks through an analysis of the status of each department’s work across the entire organization to ensure that core functions such as port service provision are not interrupted in the event of a disaster, thereby enabling continuous public service and port functions.

Additionally, through continuous education, training, and improvements in the disaster mitigation activity management system, BPA strengthened the institution’s disaster response execution capabilities and advanced its crisis response system to prepare for disasters.

During this certification process, BPA’s on-site training simulating complex disaster situations such as fires in multi-use facilities caused by typhoons and maritime accidents and marine pollution incidents received favorable evaluations.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, stated, “We are honored that our efforts to establish an advanced disaster management system at Busan Port have been recognized externally,” and added, “We will continue to strive to maintain Busan Port’s functions during various disaster situations to provide better port services to the public and users.”
