As a result, it successfully obtained certification with excellent _uation results from the institution.

The company plans to upgrade the operation and _uation system of the safety and health management system for its members and stakeholders and to keep reinforcing the response system to prevent risks.

SK rent-a-car continues its endeavors to establish a management system that meets international standards as a leading company in the industry. It acquired not only this certification on safety and health management systems but also the quality management system (ISO 9001), environmental management system (ISO14001) in 2007, as well as anti-corruption management system (ISO 37001) in November. The series of international standard certifications demonstrate the official recognition of the company’s ESG management performance.
