CEO's Message

Samsung SDI has pursued the principle of complying with the laws and ethics for righteous management.

Law-abiding is critical in management because failure to comply with laws and regulations can cause a crisis for the company at any time. As you may already know, legal restrictions against companies are becoming stricter around the world, and companies that violate the laws are being forced to suffer even stricter punishments. Customers no longer trust companies that do not abide by laws. Therefore, lawful management is not an option, but an essential element for survival and development for a company. Samsung SDI will strictly promote lawful management.

Operation Standards

Compliance Control Regulations are the supreme regulations of compliance and prescribes basic procedures and other relevant matters regarding Samsung SDI's Compliance Program.

Compliance Operating Rules regulate the duties of the Chief Compliance Officer as well as the specific procedures and policies that SDI's employees should abide by in order to comply with the Compliance Control Regulations. Code of Conduct provides guidelines and standards that employees must conform to in order to comply with the Compliance Control Regulations and the Compliance Operating Rules. Guidelines provide commentaries on 6 Samsung SDI business-related laws (Fair Competition, Trade Secret, Unfair Trade Practice, Anti-Corruption, Personal Information, and Subcontract) and checklists for each relevant business practice area.
