Ethical Management

Ethical Management Charter

Modern society is developing very rapidly, and the construction industry needs management guidelines because of changes in laws and rules.

Shinhwa Construction, which has tried to manage it based on honesty and trust since its foundation,

established the Ethical Charter and the Code of Ethics to set up and practice ethical values.

​

To realize fair relationships with customers and cooperative companies, and fair competition with our competitors,

we systemized reward and punishment by establishing new rules, changing the organization oriented toward ethical management,

and evaluating performance.

​

In addition, we periodically practice education for ethical performance to our executives and employees and those in cooperative companies.

​

We also try to expand our efforts to participate in movements of realizing a society where all the people can live together

and of returning our profits to the society.

​

We, all the staff and executives and employees will continue to observe ethical values.
