Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Facilities Management Corporation (Chairman Hwang Bong-ju) has obtained the anti-corruption management system certification ‘ISO 37001’ from the Korea Management Registrar (KMR).

According to Seo-gu Facilities Management Corporation on the 10th, ISO 37001 is an international standard for anti-corruption management systems established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2016. It is awarded to organizations that have a systematic and transparent system that meets international standards through an audit by a certification body.

The corporation was launched in October 2021 to manage facilities such as household and large waste collection and transportation, cultural and sports facilities, and public parking lots.

In particular, the household and large waste collection and transportation business, which accounts for a large portion of the operations, has long been conducted by the private sector. The corporation is focusing on enhancing publicness and responsibility to improve the ‘quality of life’ of district residents.

The corporation has especially strived to stabilize management quickly by setting the goal of ‘ZERO corruption occurrence,’ establishing anti-corruption policies and manuals, continuously educating employees, strengthening an anti-corruption organizational culture, and minimizing corruption risks.

In this audit, the corporation received high evaluations for the strong ethical management commitment of the top management and the establishment of a pre-review system when promoting projects.

Chairman Hwang Bong-ju said, “This certification is meaningful in providing trust to stakeholders such as the local community and district residents,” and added, “We will carefully examine whether there are any improvements needed in the anti-corruption management system and make every effort to ensure safety and environmentally friendly operations at project sites.”
