The commercial law revised on March 11, 2011 requires that the listed companies, of which scale is prescribed in the law, appoint a compliance officer.

* Compliance Officer: A corporation is obligated by law to appoint a compliance officer to prevent disputes arising from corporate management by establishing an internal control system under which corporate decisions and management are monitored at all times for evaluating and managing the legal risk.

Anti-Corruption Policy

Zero tolerance for corruption and bribery
Hanwha Vision will never tolerate an employee or a partner company who are engaged in corrupt practices. We also expect our joint venture partners, suppliers, contractors,consultants, agents and other business partners to maintain a zero tolerance for bribery.

Resources of Anti Corruption
We have well-publicised resources available to all emloyees where help and advice can be sought. Especially, in Korea we have a website called CPMS(Compliance Management System) managed by Compliance Team to provide all employees located in Korea with counseling relating matters of Compliance and Ethics through guidelines/manuals upload and Q&A. CPMS is a window to ask trained counselors(including legal counsel) for ethic dilemma questions and get answers. Also, employees in other areas can reach Compliance Team via various methods such as visit, phone, mail, fax and e-mail instead of CPMS.
