Samsung Compliance Committee
An external independent committee to monitor compliance
The Samsung Compliance Committee was launched on February 5, 2020 with the aim of practicing integrity-based management, which is one of our key values, by reinforcing compliance monitoring and control over the seven major member companies* of the Samsung Group.
It comprises six external members, including the chair, and one internal member. Chanhee Lee, former President of the Korean Bar Association, is serving as the chairperson for the second and third terms, following Ji-hyung Kim, former Justice of the Supreme Court, who served as the first chairperson. The Committee's external members are selected from experts equipped with knowledge and experience in diverse fields including law, accounting, economics and public administration.
