Memory semiconductor supplier SK Hynix joined the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition, the company said on Thursday.
The EICC is a coalition of some 80 global electronics companies including HP, IBM, and Dell working together to improve efficiency and social, ethical, and environmental responsibility in the global supply chain. Currently, there are only two Korean members, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, other than SK Hynix.
SK Hynix must now adopt the EICC Code of Conduct in the five areas of environment, ethics, health and safety, labor, and management system.
“Through the membership, we will be able to more actively respond to the demands from stakeholders in regards to the global standards,” said Kim Eun-tae, SK Hynix’s head of ethics and management division. “We will also provide training for our partner companies to more efficiently carry out their social responsibility.”
SK Hynix has also been for two consecutive years included in FTSE4Good Index, which selects companies based on a range of corporate social responsibility criteria.
