Strengthening board independence and expertise
Hanwha Vision's Board of Directors includes two internal and three independent directors, ensuring balanced, expert decision-making across management, strategy, law, and finance.
The Board operates four committees—Audit, Compensation, Executive, and Independent Director Candidate Recommendation—and independent directors receive ongoing training and advisory support.
Independent audit function
Hanwha Vision operates an independent audit function to secure transparency and strengthen oversight. The Audit Committee consists entirely of three independent directors, including at least one expert in finance or accounting. The committee reviews the appropriateness and legality of decisions and management activities to enhance corporate integrity and value. Operating as a committee under the Board, it functions independently from both management and major shareholders.
Transparent and shareholder-focused governance
We promote democratic governance through electronic voting, analyst briefings, site visits, and transparent disclosure of financial and IR materials, ensuring fair access for all shareholders.

Systematic risk management
Hanwha Vision operates a company-wide risk management framework to identify potential risks early and respond quickly. Under CEO oversight, each department manages the risks most relevant to its operations, emphasizing prevention and prompt corrective action.
Financial risks—including accounting, taxation, disclosure, and financial controls—are continuously monitored by the Business Support Division to ensure transparency and reliability. Non-financial risks related to workplace safety, product quality, labor relations, and supply chain continuity are managed by dedicated teams to support stable, sustainable operations.
We also maintain an internal accounting control system to ensure the accuracy and transparency of financial reporting. The CEO and management annually report its effectiveness to the Board of Directors and shareholders, reinforcing accountability throughout the organization. All employees are encouraged to act with responsibility and integrity, supporting a corporate culture grounded in trust and transparency.
