The Small and Medium Business Agency held a meeting on July 27 at its headquarters in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, to review the progress of its anti-corruption and integrity policies.
The meeting, attended by over 20 participants including Chairman Kang Seok-jin and key department heads, assessed the agency's performance in implementing anti-corruption and integrity policies during the first half of the year. They also shared the status of integrity initiatives and best practices from various departments.
Plans for the second half of the year were discussed, focusing on ways to promote a culture of integrity that the public can feel. The agency committed to preventing corruption risks across its core operations, particularly in eradicating improper third-party interference in policy funding, and to creating a fair policy support environment.
Following the meeting, an awards ceremony for the 'Integrity-focused Small and Medium Business Agency AI+ Short Film Contest' was held. The contest recognized outstanding promotional content created by citizens and employees using artificial intelligence (AI) to promote integrity.
The grand prize was awarded to Kim Do-yoon for his work themed 'Properly Executing Public Finances Where Needed,' which depicted the agency's commitment to appropriately allocating public funds.
Kang Seok-jin, Chairman of the Small and Medium Business Agency, emphasized that "integrity is the most fundamental value of public institutions and the starting point of public trust," and stated, "We will strive to become a more trusted institution through effective anti-corruption and integrity policy implementation and by fostering a culture of communication and empathy among employees."
