II.	Corporate Governance

1. Corporate Governance Policy

(1) Shareholders

KEPCO has been striving for transparent governance from the time of listing on the stock market to protect shareholders' rights and enhance shareholder value.

(2) Board of Directors

In order to effect transparency in its corporate governance, anyone interested in KEPCO's corporate governance practice can access, at its corporate website, Articles of Incorporation of KEPCO, Regulations Concerning the Board of Directors, Regulations Concerning Operations of the Audit Committee and KEPCO's other internal regulations related to its corporate governance.

To ensure the transparency of its corporate governance through an independent decision-making process, KEPCO operates a majority of directors as non-standing directors. The Board of Directors is composed of seven standing directors including the CEO and eight non-standing directors. The chairperson of the Board of Directors is appointed upon among non-standing directors for fair gathering of opinions and suggestions on the overall management.

Furthermore, non-standing directors are elected from professionals with basis of finance, accounting, labor management and energy industries, so as to fulfill one's role of consulting and suggesting about the agenda of board meetings.

KEPCO strives to provide sufficient information on each agenda to directors before the board meeting so that the directors can make an informed decision.

(3) Audit

The Audit Committee inspects the accounting and management issues, and also evaluates the operation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Moreover, it supervises the performance of directors and management to let them make rational business decisions.

The Audit Committee consists of three directors, two of who are required to be non-standing directors. The chairperson of the committee is required to be a non-standing director. One member of the Audit Committee is a standing director and is appointed with the recommendation of the Director Nomination Committee and by the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. Other members of the Audit Committee who are non-standing directors are appointed from among non-standing directors and by the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders.

The Audit Committee maintains its objectivity on conducting an audit, working separately from the directors and the management. If it is necessary to carry out its duties, the committee may request any related executive or employee to be present at the committee, to submit reports and to state one's opinion. Also, the committee may seek advice from external experts at the company's expense.

2.	Key Characteristics of Corporate Governance Structure

(1) Organization of the Board of Directors

As a highest decision-making body of the company, the Board of Directors is composed of seven standing directors (including the CEO) and eight non-standing directors, securing its independence by composing non-executive directors as a majority of the board. Non-standing directors are elected from candidates with ample industrial or professional knowledge and experience without any discrimination of sex, race, age, nationality and cultural backgrounds so as to respond flexibly and professionally to the diversifying business environment. For fair and transparent operation of the Board of Directors, the chairperson is appointed from among non-standing directors with the review and the resolution of the Committee for Management of Public Institutions under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy following the Article 21 of the Act on the Management of Public Institutions.

(2) Subcommittees in the Board of Directors

KEPCO operates three subcommittees under the Board of Directors, namely, the Audit Committee, the ESG Committee, and the Director Nomination Committee to strengthen the preliminary review and support the rational decision making of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee consists of two non-standing directors and one standing director, at least one of which is appointed among accounting or financial experts to conduct an audit of business and accounting. In December 2020, for the first among all public enterprises in Korea, KEPCO additionally established an Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee in our Board of Directors to reinforce ESG-based management system. The ESG Committee consists of three non-standing directors and one standing director and it is in charge with resolving major management issues related to ESG, establishing ESG management strategies and business plans, checking on the overall direction of sustainable management and monitoring achievements and problems within such performances. The Director Nomination Committee is in charge of new appointment of directors. The Committee members consist of non-standing directors and other external members selected by the Board of Directors. The total number of member must be not less than five and not more than fifteen. The Board of Directors elects external members less than half of the members to maintain independence in the appointment of directors.

(3) Expertise of subcommittees in the Board of Directors

In order to enhance the expertise of its Board of Directors, KEPCO considers one's personal expertise at document screening stage of director candidates and has actively recruited many experts in various fields. KEPCO appoints members of subcommittees such as the ESG Committee or the Audit Committee based on the professional fields of each non-standing director and also taking a comprehensive consultation from the ESG Advisory Committee and the Audit Advisory Committee which are composed of external specialists. In addition, KEPCO strives to strengthen the expertise of its directors by regularly providing an education related with internal control over financial reporting and ESG. 

(4) Independence of the Board of Directors

KEPCO ensures the independence of its Board of Directors so that the diretors can carry out their duties of 'checks and balances' in a responsible manner. KEPCO supports directors' and officers' liability insurance for their decision making with a firm conviction, and forbids any director who has special interests with the agenda from participating in the related board resolution. KEPCO also strictly scrutinizes whether a non-standing director candidate has any related party transaction that would disqualify such candidate from his or her directorship under the Korean Commercial Act.
