What is compliance?

Compliance refers to an internal control system that ensures that a company operates in accordance with laws, regulations, ethics, and social norms. APR is building an effective compliance system by continuously recognizing domestic and international regulatory and ethical requirements. The system operates in a way that prepares and works on response plans for problem situations, and derives improvements through analysis and taking action.

APR, a leader in ethical and transparent management

Ethical management is a core principle that goes beyond simple regulatory compliance to build trust with all stakeholders and create a fair and transparent business environment.

APR strives to establish an ethical organizational culture so that all departments can make sustainable corporate activities through ethical decisions that meet global standards as well as regulatory compliance. By conducting ethical management, we aspire to fulfill our social responsibilities and create a sustainable future together.

Introduction of Anti-Bribery Management System (ISO 37001)

In 2025, APR strengthened its ethical management by obtaining certification for the Anti-Bribery Management System (ISO 37001), the international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This achievement is the result of our continuous efforts to foster a transparent and fair corporate culture.
Moving forward, we will continue to uphold responsible management practices and strive to be a trusted company.
