Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) has demonstrated its global compliance management capabilities by being selected as a finalist in two categories at the 'International Compliance Association (ICA) Compliance Awards,' the world's most prestigious awards ceremony in the field of compliance management.

Dongchul Kim, President of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).

The ICA Compliance Awards are a globally recognized ceremony that selects organizations showing excellence and innovation in compliance monitoring, internal control, and risk management amid a complex global regulatory environment. The newly established Asia-Pacific (APAC) categories this year underwent rigorous evaluation by an independent panel of judges, resulting in 27 outstanding organizations being named finalists across seven categories. KEPCO achieved the distinction of being selected as a finalist in both categories it applied for: the Compliance Team category and the Culture and Ethics category. The ICA is scheduled to announce the winners in each category on the 21st.

A KEPCO representative explained, "This achievement is the result of KEPCO's strong commitment to ethical and compliance management." The representative added, "Since President Dongchul Kim took office in 2023, we established a compliance management office directly under the president to eradicate misconduct and build a company trusted by the public, demonstrating a firm will to implement ethical and compliance management. We also operate an Integrity and Ethics Committee, composed of executives and external experts, to effectively advance internal controls and compliance policies such as integrity and ethical management."

In particular, KEPCO has enhanced its internal control system by proactively responding to the rapidly changing global energy environment with the establishment of an internal control IT system and integrating a compliance culture throughout the organization to become a leading service provider.

Dongchul Kim, President of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), stated, "As a leading public enterprise representing Korea, we are proud to be recognized alongside renowned global companies for KEPCO's compliance management capabilities. This recognition is thanks to the efforts of all employees who have strictly adhered to standards and procedures in their work, and we will continue to do our utmost to lead the world's highest standards of compliance systems and culture as Korea's representative."
