[경제]Samsung, normal operation of the Compliance Committee … faces the limit of ‘internal management’ in Corona 19

[앵커]

Samsung Electronics Vice President Lee Jae-yong was jailed again yesterday after a ruling on the Kukjeong Nongdan ruling for destruction and repatriation.

The Samsung Group entered an emergency management system in the face of a ‘no total number’ crisis, and the Samsung Compliance Committee also operated normally.

However, as interviews in detention centers were restricted due to the Corona 19 situation, Vice President Lee’s “internal administration” faced a limit.

On the recommendation of the revocation review, the Compliance Committee established at Samsung expressed its intention to continue its activities in the future.

After the regular meeting scheduled for this month, the Compliance Committee plans to strengthen management follow-up activities by holding meetings with the executive directors of seven affiliates.

Earlier, the Vice President of the Court of Destruction and Removal sentenced Vice President Lee to prison, saying that the Compliance Committee did not comply with preventive monitoring activities.

After Vice President Lee’s apologies to the public in May last year, it is highly regrettable that Samsung has pursued several tangible changes, such as stopping the succession of children’s management rights and signing a collective labor and management agreement.

However, it is expected that the continuity of the activities of the Compliance Committee will continue to be guaranteed as it is included in the commitment to citizens.

Vice President Lee Jae-yong tested negative for Corona 19 at the detention center, but will be in quarantine for the next four weeks.

Inside Samsung, even top executives’ visits to detention centers were restricted, so they feared that Vice President Lee’s jail management was realistically limited.

In particular, important decision-making, such as mergers and acquisitions or large-scale investments, is observed to have become inevitable due to the “total gap”.

Samsung Group, which faced a ‘no total number’ situation after 2017, started emergency management first, focusing on the professional managers of each subsidiary.
