Human Rights Management

Human Rights Management Declaration

NHN has established and publicly declared its Human Rights Management Declaration to uphold human rights across all areas of its operations and to foster a culture of respect for these rights. This Declaration aligns with international human rights principles and domestic legislation, serving as a framework for protecting the rights of all NHN stakeholders - including employees, customers, suppliers, and shareholders/investors. Furthermore, NHN has implemented accessible grievance counseling channels that enable individuals to report human rights-related grievances, thereby helping to prevent potential violations throughout its business operations. Through this comprehensive Declaration, NHN reaffirms its commitment to proactively identifying, managing, and mitigating human rights risks.

Human Rights Grievance Procedure

NHN is dedicated to upholding human rights management standards by operating two key channels: 'WithU', an internal consultation channel for employees, and 'Corporate Ethics Consultation Center', a reporting and advisory center for external stakeholders. Such system allows all stakeholders, including employees and business partners, to report human rights violations with the assurance of confidentiality, whether they choose to reveal their identity or remain anonymous. We safeguard the anonymity of informant ensuring that individuals who report violations face no repercussions. The victim’s identity is fully safeguarded during the investigation process, by having every person in charge including the reference and the perpetrator all sign a confidentiality pledge. We remain committed to supporting the victim after the investigation is concluded to prevent any possible secondary victimization.

Family Friendly Company

NHN endeavors to foster the competitiveness of its manpower based on its diversity initiatives while supporting employees in achieving a balance between work and family life. To this end, NHN offers comprehensive maternity and paternity protection programs, equally to all employees, including reduced working hours throughout pregnancy, paid prenatal check-up leave for both mothers and fathers, and parental leave of up to two years, exceeding the statutory leave period. As a result of these efforts, NHN was recognized as a Family-Friendly Excellent Enterprise by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2016 and has maintained this certification to date. Moving forward, NHN remains committed to fostering a corporate culture where both employees and their families can thrive and find fulfillment.
