What is a Compliance Program (CP)?
A Compliance Program (CP) refers to an internal compliance system that a company voluntarily establishes and operates to ensure adherence to fair trade-related laws and regulations. It is designed to prevent violations of competition laws and promote a corporate culture of ethical and lawful business practices.
Dear ILJIN Electric Executives and Employees,
Since its establishment in 1968, ILJIN Electric has grown into the nation’s only Total Energy Solution Provider, encompassing the entire power infrastructure sector through continuous technological innovation and research and development.
Today, as the world faces the critical challenges of achieving carbon neutrality and expanding renewable energy, our journey to become a trusted global company requires not only outstanding technological capabilities but also a foundation of transparent and fair management.
In Korea as well, the importance of fair trade continues to grow. In response to these evolving policies and expectations, we must maintain a proactive and thorough approach to compliance.
Accordingly, ILJIN Electric officially introduced the Fair Trade Compliance Program (CP) in July 2025. The CP is an internal compliance system voluntarily established and operated by companies to ensure full adherence to fair trade–related laws and regulations. However, the adoption of CP represents more than just the introduction of a system — it is a clear declaration of our unwavering commitment to practicing fair and free competition in all our business activities.
Moving forward, ILJIN Electric will continue to foster a corporate culture rooted in lawfulness and ethical management. The success of this effort depends on the active participation and commitment of every employee. As valued partners in building a sustainable future, I ask for your full cooperation and engagement in the implementation of the Compliance Program.
Thank you.
