Voluntary Practice of Jeong-Do Management

We make a multifaceted efforts to create a culture in which all members voluntarily practice Jeong-Do management. For instance, a newsletter is regularly sent to help employees understand Jeong-Do Management and the ways to deal with various situations. In addition, ‘Jeong-Do Management Story’ is posted every month. We are building an environment in which members are not exposed to ethical risks by sharing regulations, systems and procedures through the content.

Bribery Reporting System

Under the Code of Ethics, all members of LX Semicon do not accept money or valuables from stakeholders regardless of the reason. Every year on Lunar New Year’s Day and Chuseok, the CEO directly sends out a ‘No gift-giving or receiving or receiving’ notice to employees, suppliers, and business partners, asking them to create a fair trade culture. In the case of receiving money or gifts, they must be courteously refused and returned, and only when return is unfeasible, the item must be reported to the Ethics Bureau. Items received are immediately donated to welfare organizations or proceeds are used for social contribution activities through conducting auctions in the company.

Ethics Hotline Reporting

We operate an online reporting system (https://ethics.lxmdi.co.kr) where you can report unfair acts that violate the code of ethics. Reports can be made anonymously, and the received reports are verified through on-site investigations. For the cases where misconduct is confirmed, follow-up measures such as disciplinary action, work process improvement, and Jeong-Do Management training are carried out to ensure a transparent and fair organizational culture.

Informant Protection

Based on the principle of non-disclosure, we rigorously safeguard the identity of the informant, the evidence submitted by the informant, the information gathered pertaining to the report, the matters that may implicate the suspect, and the follow-up actions for the outcomes after the report.

Grievance Handling Channels

All members have the opportunity to report issues related to ethics and human rights (including bullying and sexual harassment) through the ‘Grievance Handling Talk’ and ‘Sexual Harassment / Workplace Bullying Report’ menus within the intranet. We also provide other various reporting channels for offline reports, such as visiting the Ethics Bureau, and sending mails.
