With the goal of spreading and internalizing the culture of respect for human rights, Daejoo Electronic Materials provides compulsory education each year such as training to improve awareness of people with disabilities, sexual harassment prevention training, training to prevent workplace bullying, and personal data protection and information security training. In 2023, the training, which targets all employees, was provided as online training.

Moving forward, Daejoo Electronic Materials will further strengthen the internalization of human rights management.

To create a healthy organizational culture, we regularly provide training to prevent worksite sexual harassment and bullying. We also operate a consultation channel for grievance handling as part of our efforts to establish an environment where all workers are safe and respected. Moreover, we carry out human rights violation prevention activities to make sure that there are no worksites and suppliers posing a risk of forced labor, child labor, or damage to the rights of association, assembly, and collective bargaining.

Human Rights Management Operation

Under the management philosophy to “protect human rights,” Daejoo Electronic Materials strives to improve trust and cooperation among all stakeholders including employees. To this end, we have established and are actively implementing the Code of Ethics, which sets the criteria for correct behaviors and value judgment to be followed by all employees. Daejoo Electronic Materials’ human rights management is operated through cooperation between the CEO and the Corporate Culture Division. We set an operational directivity to spread the culture of respect for human rights within the organization and continuously provide human rights violation prevention training.

Grievance Handling System

Operation of Grievance Handling System

Daejoo Electronic Materials operates an in-house grievance consultation channel to establish a healthy organizational culture by handling the employees’ grievances. We receive reports on sexual harassment, workplace bullying, and discrimination incidents and make every effort to swiftly and properly respond to them. Receiving grievance reports through mobile devices or email, we attentively listen to the employees’ voice and pay attention to handling their difficulties.

Grievance Report Process and Whistleblower Protection

Daejoo Electronic Materials strictly keeps the details of grievance reports and identities of whistleblowers confidential throughout the grievance reporting process. After a grievance report is received, we identify the requirements of the whistleblower to determine the primary handling method. Then, we verify the facts through investigation and review. The report is then submitted to the CEO, and an appropriate punishment and the relevant measures are taken. In addition, to prevent any subsequent damages, we thoroughly check the status of agreement implementation following the case closing and continuously implement recurrence prevention and follow-up management measure.
