Reports may be submitted regarding unfair business practices, improper requests involving the abuse of position, corruption, or other unethical conduct involving POSCO FLOW employees. All reports are handled confidentially. All reports are reviewed and processed as promptly as possible, and the results may be checked on the Report Status page.
Reportable Misconduct

Reward Criteria
for Whistleblowers
- External individuals
- POSCO Group employees whose duties are unrelated to the reported matter
- Maximum reward amount: KRW 10 million
- If a report results in the recovery of damages, restitution of improper gains, increased revenue, or cost savings for the company, the applicable amount shall serve as the basis for calculating the reward, which shall be granted according to the criteria below.
① If a report contributes to reducing company losses and the relevant amount is recovered
- If the increase in revenue or reduction in losses occurs temporarily, the total applicable amount shall be used. If such effects occur over an extended period, the estimated annual amount shall be used.
- Any additional amounts identified during investigations conducted by the Integrity Management Office shall be excluded from the reward calculation.
② No reward shall be granted if the applicable amount cannot be calculated or if the report does not result in any recoverable amount.
- If the report is determined to be false or cannot be verified due to insufficient evidence
- Reports of unethical conduct unrelated to business activities involving external stakeholders
- However, rewards may still be granted for conduct that causes direct financial loss to the company, such as embezzlement of company funds or theft of company assets
- Matters that have already been reported, are already under investigation or disciplinary review by the audit department, relevant departments, or external authorities, or for which such procedures have already been completed
- Matters already disclosed through media reports or other public channels
- Reports submitted anonymously or under a false name where the identity of the whistleblower cannot be verified
- Matters related solely to routine business improvements
- Other cases where rewards are deemed inappropriate based on the review results
Protection of
Whistleblower Identity
- To prevent disclosure of the whistleblower's identity during the reward payment process, the reward shall be collected by a manager-level representative from the Audit Group and delivered confidentially in a manner requested by the recipient.
- All employees are prohibited from disclosing the identity of a whistleblower, even if they become aware of it in the course of their duties or by chance.
- Any actions that may reveal the identity of a whistleblower are prohibited, including inquiries about the whistleblower or attempts to identify the whistleblower.
- Disclosure or implication of the identity of whistleblowers or individuals cooperating in investigations without their consent is prohibited.
- Violations of whistleblower identity protection obligations may result in disciplinary action.
