Human Rights Management System

Encourage win-win growth with the ultimate respect for each other.

Human Rights Policy

In April 2021, we joined the international sustainability management initiative of the UNGC to endorse its 10 principles in the four areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

We also ensure that we abide by all labor principles recommended by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and ILO conventions ratified by the Korean government.

In addition to our human rights management declaration, we specified provisions on maternity protection and the prohibition of workplace harassment in Chapter 3 of our rules of employment. Strive to provide fair opportunities while respecting diverse backgrounds and values.

Human Rights Management System

HL Mando strives to efficiently promote human rights management and protect human rights through activities to prevent and improve human rights risks, such as enacting and revising the human rights management declaration and conducting global human rights impact assessments.

Centered around the group-level Human Rights Management Committee, we created the Sustainability Management Committee,
working-level councils, and stipulated our human rights management guidelines.
To advance human rights management, we also appointed human rights officers and adopted key human rights indicators.
We have also conducted human rights impact assessments and evaluated the effectiveness of our grievance mechanisms across
all our operations.

Separate processes and standards are being developed to ensure that whistleblowers and victims do not suffer any identity
exposure or HR-related disadvantages in the investigation process.

We operate grievance mechanisms to allow our employees to report their grievances concerning any issues that may develop
into risk factors to human rights management.
Whistleblowers and victims may submit their grievances through a wide array of modes - online, e-mail, phone, or interview - with
full confidentiality, and check on handling results through the Online Report Center.
