To motivate our partners to raise their management systems to international standards, we reflect certification status in the comprehensive evaluation of partner companies. These efforts resulted in 83% of our suppliers becoming ISO 14001-certified by 2024.
Furthermore, from 2021 through the end of 2024, a total of 285 companies have obtained ISO 45001/KOSHA-MS certification.

“Right to work suspension” system is both a program and a formal request. It signals the worker’s right to stop working when they sense danger, whether it’s a dangerous situation outlined in the Industrial Safety and Health Act or a situation they anticipate to be dangerous. When they raise their hand, production must be stopped immediately for the safety of the workers.
The “Right to work suspension” system was launched in 2018. In the beginning, we continued to see safety issues surface at supplier sites without seeing an increase in “Right to work suspension” requests. This was because the suppliers were concerned about production delays and loss in human resources, the workers were worried they would get pay cuts from working less, and we were concerned the program could be abused, creating inefficiency in the workplace. That did not mean “Right to work suspension” system should be discontinued.

We addressed these concerns by setting up a compensation system for suppliers and workers in January 2021 so they could take advantage of the “Right to work suspension” system without the fear of financial loss. We also added a clause in the standard contract protecting suppliers from any disadvantages that may arise from stopping production. And we continued to actively promote “Right to work suspension” system to all our suppliers and their employees for the program to become standard practice.
