Strengthening Integrity City-Wide

Last year, Busan achieved an improved national integrity rating, with its efforts in transparency and public trust recognized for the third consecutive year—a distinction unique among metropolitan governments.

This year, the city is aiming to reach the highest grade in the national integrity assessment. It is expanding collaboration with district offices and affiliated institutions to ensure integrity initiatives are implemented citywide.

Efforts include:

• ●Establishing a cooperative network of internal audit bodies for sharing best practices and operational guidelines

• ●Expanding “Integrity Vibe,” a cross-organizational integrity club promoting joint campaigns

• ●Signing an MOU with the Busan Human Resource Development Center and the Audit Training Institute to improve education for newly appointed and promoted public officials

Mayor Park stated:
“This year, we aim to achieve the highest integrity rating through unified commitment from all public officials. We will foster a culture of integrity and lead Busan’s transformation into a global hub city built on transparency and trust.”
