Shared Growth
Eight Major Shared Growth Programs
To build a robust steel supply chain, POSCO and its suppliers operate the ‘Eight Major Shared Growth Programs.’ By fostering a culture of fair trade within the supply chain and pursuing win-win partnerships with business partners, POSCO has received the highest rating in the Shared Growth Index from the Korea Commission for Corporate Partnership1)for four consecutive years.
We operate an ‘Open Purchasing Consultation Office’ within the e-Procurement System to address inquiries and grievances from partner companies. Additionally, external stakeholders can express their opinions, either named or anonymously, through various channels such as the company website (Ethical Misconduct Reporting Center), and receive a formal response from the company. Submitters are assured that they will not face any disadvantages, such as identity disclosure or retaliation. If the facts are verified, we actively address the issue through monitoring and audits.
