However, please note that matters unrelated to the operation of the cyber reporting system, such as baseless slander, personal privacy issues, advertisements, and other inappropriate content, will not be processed. Any submissions deemed as customer complaints by the company will be transferred to the customer service center for further handling.
How to Report
- Authentication through e-mail is required in order to prevent false reporting.
- Cases shall be reported in a complete manner satisfying the 5W1H principle (i.e. who, when, where, what, why, and how), accompanied by contact information.
- Please note that it may take 7-10 days for the Compliance team to investigation and reply to an inquiry.
- GS E&C takes all precautions to ensure that investigations are conducted confidentially from a third party perspective.
- Investigation results will be informed only if a phone number or email address is provided.
Protection of whistle blowers
- In principle, protection of whistleblowers is guaranteed. However, provision of informant's name and supporting documents would be most preferable.
- If unfair treatment or punishment on whistleblowers is acknowledged, remedial actions will be taken or equivalent compensation will be given.
- In case the breach of conduct reported is relevant to the whistleblower, it will be treated legitimately with mitigating circumstances.
- The number of investigators is limited.
- No personal information will be disclosed without the whistleblowers' consent. Moreover, any employee who acknowledge and reveal the information intentionally or accidently will be punished.
However, reports including vicious slander or invasion of personal privacy will be excluded from the whistleblower protection policy.
