Business Ethics
POSCO, a public listed company in NYSE, is gorverned by Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) under United States of America. As a result, all employees of POSCO Group must strictly comply with it, as well as the principles of ethics and Code of Ethics set by POSCO in all aspects of business.
POSCO enacted the code of ethics in 2003 that must be adhered to by all employees, and explicitly included the US Human Rights that claim to support respect for human life and dignity in 2014. At this time, POSCO has amended the code of ethics with tighter ethical standards according to the intent of management innovation that places the highest value on ethics in management.
This is how we all can proudly preserve the credibility of POSCO as we know it today, formed by the blood, sweat, and tears of our founding members.
