Conclusion of a Contract

(2)Prepare and deliver a contract that specifies the legally required information, including the contract amount, delivery deadline, and payment terms, before work commencement.

(3)If subject to the subcontracting payment linkage system, a mandatory conclusion of a linkage contract (or a non-linkage agreement) with the subcontractor is required, and payment adjustment procedures must be implemented promptly according to the linkage contract when raw material prices change.

Provision of Anything of Value to Domestic or Foreign Public Officials

  • (1)If you intend to provide cash, cash equivalents, or other valuables, you must confirm the following matters and obtain prior approval from the Compliance Team.
    • Provision of cash, cash equivalents, or other valuables is, in principle, not permitted.
    • However, condolence or congratulatory expenses may be provided only within an appropriate amount permitted under the laws, culture, and social norms of the relevant country (prior Compliance approval request process required).
  • (2)If you intend to provide gifts (souvenirs), benefits, hospitality, donations, etc., you must confirm the following matters and obtain prior approval from the Compliance Team.
    • Whether the recipient or requester is a domestic or foreign public official
    • Whether there is a contractual basis or legitimate business purpose for the provision
    • Whether the provision falls within the scope permitted under the laws, culture, and social norms of the recipient’s country
    • Whether the recipient has received such benefits from the Company excessively or repeatedly
    • Whether there is any concern that the provision may be perceived as being provided in expectation of obtain or retain business, secure an improper advantage, or influence official duties or decision-making

Selection of Third Parties such as Representatives, Agents, and JV Partners

  • (1)When selecting or entering into a contract with Third Parties such as representatives, agents, or JV partners, the Company must conduct “Third-Party Due Diligence” and undergo Compliance review in accordance with the Company’s anti-bribery law compliance guidelines.
  • (2)Information related to the investigation and evaluation of Third Parties, particularly evidence demonstrating that compensation to be paid to the stakeholder is reasonable and proportionate to the scope and nature of the services, must be documented and retained.
  • (3)Confirm whether the contract with the stakeholder includes appropriate “anti-bribery and anti-corruption provisions” (the Company’s standard anti-bribery and anti-corruption provisions).
    In particular, confirm whether the following matters are included.
    • A representation that the stakeholder has complied with anti-bribery laws and regulations and will continue to do so
    • The Company’s right to rescind or terminate the contract in the event of a violation of anti-bribery laws and regulations

Matters Related to the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act

  • (1)Confirm whether the counterparty is a public official or equivalent person.
    • Confirm whether the person falls under any relevant category, such as public officials, heads and employees of public service-related organizations and institutions, heads and faculty members of schools, executives and employees of school corporations, or representatives and employees of media companies.
    • If it is unclear whether the person falls under the above categories, request confirmation from the Compliance Team.
  • (2)Confirm whether the receipt of money, valuables, etc. is exceptionally permitted (in principle, such provision is not allowed).
    • Money, valuables, etc. provided for smooth performance of duties, social courtesy, ceremonial purposes, or mutual aid purposes (Subparagraph 2)
      • In the case of Subparagraph 2, items are not automatically permitted merely because they fall within the value limits of KRW 50,000 for meals, KRW 50,000 for gifts, and KRW 100,000 for congratulatory or condolence expenses. A comprehensive assessment must be made based on factors such as the relationship between the public official or equivalent person and the provider, the existence of a personal relationship, the circumstances and timing of receipt, and the degree of closeness in connection with official duties.
    • Money, valuables, etc. provided based on a legitimate legal basis or authority (Subparagraph 3)
      • To fall under Subparagraph 3, there must be a basis or authority for providing the money, valuables, etc., and such authority must be legitimate.
    • Money, valuables, etc. ordinarily and uniformly provided at an official event (Subparagraph 6)
      • Whether an event qualifies as an official event must be determined comprehensively by considering factors such as its direct relevance to the Company’s business, the relationship between the participants and the purpose and content of the event, the openness of the eligible participants, whether the event is publicly disclosed, and whether internal approval exists for the operation of the event, including cost-bearing arrangements. Whether the provision is within an ordinary scope must be determined comprehensively by considering factors such as similar types of events, the venue and purpose of the event, the scope and status of participants, the host’s internal standards, and the host’s capacity to bear costs. Provision limited to a specific individual or group, rather than being uniformly provided, is not considered uniform provision.
    • Souvenirs or promotional items distributed to an unspecified number of persons (Subparagraph 7)
      • “An unspecified number of persons” refers not merely to the number of recipients, but to the randomness of selection in which recipients are not specifically identified. Whether an item qualifies as a souvenir or promotional item must be determined comprehensively by considering factors such as whether the Company’s logo or name is displayed, the purpose of production, value, and quantity.
  • (1)Check whether the counterparty is located in, organized under the laws of, or otherwise connected to a sanctioned country or region, or is a sanctioned person or entity.
    • Economic sanctions Sanctioned Countries and Territories: Countries and regions subject to U.S. OFAC Sanctions Programs (e.g., Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, etc.); the scope of sanctions varies by each country.
    • Economic sanctions designated persons: SDNs, SSI entities, etc.
      (available for screening through the websites below)
  • (2)If there is any doubt as to whether economic sanctions apply, conduct the due diligence process and review procedures of the Compliance Team. (Refer to the “Guidelines for Compliance with Economic Sanctions Laws and Regulations.”)
  • (3)Confirm that the contract with the counterparty includes an economic sanctions compliance clause covering the following matters.
    • Representations, warranties and covenants that the counterparty has complied with, and will continue to comply with, applicable sanctions laws and regulations.
    • The Company’s right to suspend performance, cancel orders, or terminate the agreement if the counterparty violates applicable sanctions laws and regulations or the sanctions compliance clause.
    • An indemnification or liability clause covering losses, damages, costs and expenses arising from the counterparty’s breach of the sanctions compliance clause.
  • (4)Check whether the exported product is subject to export controls.
    • Does the exported product contain U.S.-origin components or technology accounting for 10% or more?
    • Have you confirmed whether the item qualifies as a strategic item or is subject to a catch-all license requirement?
