Newsroom

2022.08.12

The &#39;ESGing Netmarble&#39; series is back! Hello, readers.

Today, Channel Netmarble will introduce Netmarble&#39;s activities for the value of &quot;S&quot; of ESG.

S stands for Social, that is, the company&#39;s Social responsibility. Netmarble is making various efforts to contribute to the future society from a long-term perspective, beyond corporate social responsibility.

Netmarble establishes the Netmarble Code of Conduct so that people with various backgrounds and thoughts can get equal opportunities. It explicitly stipulates provisions for &quot;Celebrating Diversity and Standing Against Discrimination&quot; because Netmarble believes that real innovation and growth are possible when we work from a foundation of respecting and embracing diversity.

Netmarble pursues essential education to strengthen the human rights awareness of its employees. We run a company-wide ethical management training program once a year, which provides directions regarding the mission and objectives of Netmarble, value protection / fair trade / coexistence of the company, and employee attitude. The program includes legally compulsory education on preventing sexual harassment at the workplace, disability awareness education, and personal information protection education. The related education is included with the onboarding program for new recruits to strengthen the employees&#39; awareness of human rights.

In August 2020, Netmarble agreed to build a &#39;friendly environment for the disabled&#39; with Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities and established the &#39;Join Hands Network&#39; through a joint investment with five affiliates in Jan. 2021. The &#39;Join Hands Network&#39; currently operates an in-house cafe called &#39;ㅋㅋ cafe&#39; in the office building, which is staffed by approx. 20 baristas with disabilities. Netmarble pursues a policy to realize social value continually, such as finding additional work to be performed by persons with disabilities and expanding employment for persons with disabilities.

Netmarble started the &#39;Netmarble Adaptive Rowing Team&#39; in 2019, a first for a game company, to promote adapted physical activity and long-term independence through the Team. Netmarble Rowing Team with Disabilities, supported by Netmarble and Netmarble Cultural Foundation, won 15 medals at the 2020 National Paralympic Rowing Championship, proving its capability as a strong team.

We helped students with disabilities to communicate with society through &#39;eFestival for Students with Disabilities,&#39; &#39;Play Center,&#39; and published &#39;Companion Series&#39; to promote respect for the human rights of the disabled and improve awareness of diversity. In recognition of the sincerity and continuity of our social contribution work related to disabilities, Netmarble received an achievement award at &#39;15th Korea Culture and Arts Awards for the Disabled,&#39; a first for a game company, in October 2020.

Netmarble will continue to prohibit unfair discrimination only because of gender, education, region of origin, age, religion, race, and disability. It will continue to innovate for future generations to become a company where everyone can work to the best of their abilities.
