Lotte Energy Materials announced Tuesday that it has obtained ISO 27001 certification from Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), a globally accredited certification body.

ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management systems, jointly established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission. The certification is awarded to organizations whose information security management systems meet international standards, based on a comprehensive assessment of organizational, human, physical and technological controls for protecting information assets.

Lotte Energy Materials pursued the certification to strengthen its companywide security framework and better respond to global regulations.

CEO Kim Yeon-seop attended the certification ceremony at the company's Seoul office on Monday and said the recognition reflected the company's sustained efforts to build a systematic information security management framework. "We will continue to reinforce information security activities linked to our internal control and risk management systems, and establish security governance that meets global standards," Kim said.

Lotte Energy Materials has also previously obtained certification under ISO 37301 for compliance management systems and under ISO 37001 for anti-bribery management systems.
