38 Voluntary Integrity Action Tasks
Proactively Identified and Implemented
The Small and Medium Business Technology Information Promotion Agency announced on May 20 that it will identify and implement organization-wide "voluntary integrity action tasks" to promote a culture of integrity and establish ethical management throughout the agency.
This year, 38 action tasks across four areas have been identified as "voluntary integrity action tasks." Every department of the agency will participate, with each department responsible for at least one action task within the year. Notable examples include: ▲ sending integrity messages ▲ creating integrity slogans ▲ conducting integrity training for stakeholders such as supported companies and evaluation committee members ▲ producing and promoting integrity stickers.
The agency obtained ISO 37001 certification, the international standard for anti-bribery management systems, in 2017. In December of last year, it also passed the follow-up audit for this certification, demonstrating its leadership in practicing ethical management.
Kim Youngshin, President of the agency, stated, "Through the identification and implementation of organization-wide voluntary integrity action tasks, we will strengthen internal monitoring and management of vulnerable areas, and continuously improve systems or environments where conflicts of interest or corruption may occur." Kim added, "We will continue to do our utmost to proactively fulfill our social responsibilities as a public institution."
