Fair trade is a fundamental commitment that must be upheld for shared growth.
Support of training to promote a culture of fair trade

Samsung Semiconductor regards integrity management to be a core value that all Samsung employees must share and uphold. The foremost principles of integrity management are ethical behavior and compliance with the law. Accordingly, we place a lot of emphasis on fair trade with our partners. To make the semiconductor ecosystem healthy through shared growth with partners, fair trade is a culture that must be maintained as a necessity, not an option. We are conducting ethics management training and support for both partner companies and our employees to firmly establish a culture of fair trade not only among our 1st-tier partners but also among 2nd and 3rd-tier partners.

As a culture of fair trade
cannot be built alone,
we will strive to ensure that Samsung Semiconductor and its partner companies continue to engage in healthy and fair trade.
