SK hynix announced on the 12th that it has been selected as one of the '2025 World's Most Ethical Corporations' by the global ethical management evaluation organization Ethisphere.

Ethisphere evaluates the ethical index through more than 240 detailed questions across five categories: ethical policy and legal compliance, corporate governance, ethical culture, environmental and social impact, and supply chain policies.

This year, a total of 136 corporations were selected from 44 industries in 19 countries, and four corporations, including SK hynix, were selected in the semiconductor sector. Among domestic semiconductor corporations, this is the first time SK hynix has been named.

SK hynix is cultivating a culture that encourages its members to practice and improve ethical management through the annual 'Ethical Practice Pledge' and 'Ethical Practice Survey.'

Starting in 2023, SK hynix is also implementing a program to share its ethical management system methods and know-how to build an ethical management system in collaboration with partners.

Kwak Noh-jung, CEO of SK hynix, said, "I would like to thank the members who have worked hard to have the company's ethical management principles recognized in the global market," and noted, "We will strive to meet the trust given by our stakeholders and fulfill our ethical responsibilities as a leading AI memory company."
