Introduction
Doosan is committed to improving competitiveness and fulfilling its corporate social responsibility through Inhwa, customer-focused business philosophy, transparent business operations and innovation, thereby fostering Doosan’s continuous growth. To this end, we adopt and implement the Doosan Code of Conduct as our guiding principles.
The Doosan Code of Conduct (the “Code”) applies to all directors, officers, and employees (“employees”) of Doosan Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Doosan” and individually, the “Company”). Third parties working with Doosan are also encouraged to comply with the Code.
This Code is intended to provide a broad ethical framework for guiding employees’ conduct. It is not meant to encompass all possible situations we may encounter. Thus, each Company will provide supplementary policies aimed at providing guidance in specific areas, which can be found on the Company’s intranet or obtained from the Company’s Legal Department.
All employees are responsible for understanding and complying with the Code and applicable supplementary policies. They are also expected to comply with all applicable laws. To the extent any provision of this Code or supplementary policies conflicts with applicable laws, the latter shall control.
Doosan takes violations of the Code seriously, supplementary policies and applicable laws. If you believe that such violations have occurred, you should report them in accordance with the procedure established by the Company. The Company will take every reasonable precaution to protect your anonymity if you choose to remain anonymous. Any form of retaliation against employees for their reporting in good faith of such violations is strictly prohibited.
