KIND Fully Revises Human Rights Management Charter
– Strengthening Efforts to Establish a Human Rights-Centered Organizational Culture –

The Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation (KIND, President Bokhwan Kim) announced on the 12th that it has proclaimed a fully revised Human Rights Management Charter to clearly demonstrate its commitment to the practice of human rights management, reflecting changes in the domestic and international human rights management environment.

The revised Charter incorporates provisions on human rights policies across the supply chain, environmental protection and the sustainable use of resources at home and abroad, the pursuit of fairness and equality, and proactive efforts for remedy procedures and preventive measures. In particular, KIND refined and updated its vision and founding purpose in line with changing times, while also striving to reflect the core values emphasized by its domestic and international business partners and key stakeholders.

In the course of revising the Charter, KIND collected a wide range of opinions not only from its employees but also from various stakeholders. The revision process referenced human rights materials from the National Human Rights Commission of Korea and included consultations with external experts. The final version of the Charter was confirmed through deliberation by KIND’s Human Rights Management Committee.

The revised Human Rights Management Charter will be actively communicated and shared with both internal and external stakeholders through its official proclamation, the announcement of implementation guidelines, and disclosure on KIND’s website.

President Bokhwan Kim stated, “As a public institution leading overseas investment and development projects and operating on the trust and support of the public, the government, and businesses, it is essential for KIND to establish a management system that places human rights as its highest priority.”

KIND will continue its efforts to entrench a human rights-centered organizational culture, strengthen systems for preventing human rights violations, and ensure prompt remedial actions in the event of violations, with the Human Rights Management Committee playing a central role.
