KOSHA Receives Prime Minister’s Commendation on Citizens’ Rights and Interests Day for Achievements in 18 Integrity Initiatives

The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency has been recognized for its anti-corruption efforts, receiving the Prime Minister’s Commendation.

On the 27th, the agency announced that it had received the Prime Minister’s Commendation in the anti-corruption category at the 14th Citizens’ Rights and Interests Day ceremony, hosted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

This award reflects the agency’s ongoing company-wide integrity initiatives, including identifying and improving areas vulnerable to corruption under the leadership of its president, and strengthening horizontal communication to foster a sense of integrity across generations.

The agency implemented 18 action tasks, such as focusing on improving areas vulnerable to corruption, reinforcing the commitment of senior management to ethical conduct, and enhancing project transparency and the management of improper public fund disbursements.

Thanks to these efforts, the agency achieved the highest Grade 1 rating in the “2025 Comprehensive Integrity Assessment of Public Institutions” conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission. It is considered especially meaningful because the results reflect not only internal members but also external evaluations from petitioners and the public.

President Hyunjoong Kim stated, “Achieving the highest integrity rating and now receiving the Prime Minister’s Commendation is thanks to the efforts of all our executives and employees. We will continue to strive to become a leading institution in integrity that earns the public’s trust through the establishment of public service ethics and transparent management.”
