Relations gave us kudos for the “Best Communication of Shareholder Value in Asia” and “Best IR by a Korean Company.”
With corporate governance emerging as one of the world’s most explosive business issues this year, it is clear that we are
headed in the right direction.
Ultimately, the best judge of our efforts may be the way the world looks at our credit rating. In June of 2002, Moody’s
increased our credit rating to Baa1, while Standard & Poors raised our rating to A- in November, the highest these ratings
have been since our previous top before the 1997 Asian financial crisis. There is no clearer affirmation of success than the
convergence of the market with the momentum you have created deep inside your company.
