Risk Management

Preemptive Risk Management

Establishment of the ‘Compliance Management System (CMS 2.0)’

CJ CheilJedang established its CMS (Compliance Management System) 2.0 to forecast risks and take effective measures against them. To enhance existing compliance management, the new system identifies and categorizes potential risks that may occur in each organization. It establishes control measures for each risk and clarifies the R&R of the department in charge (designing, managing, and supervising essential control activities for each risk) and the lead department (conducting activities according to the design of the department in charge) so that the Compliance Team can act as the company-wide risk control tower to organically manage risk across the lead departments, departments in charge, as well as the BOD and its committees.

Risk Response Division

Situation Supervision Team CJ CheilJedang takes a three-step approach to potential risks in 16 categories, covering the environment (including climate change), industrial safety, quality, and processes, according to severity. We operate a company-wide risk management system to swiftly report and take countermeasures, within 24 hours, through the Risk Response Division whenever a risk is determined to be a major risk. In addition, we utilize an integrated risk management process to prevent any potential confusion or delays that may arise from a risk occurrence, initial recognition of the risk, or response measures.
