Mutual Growth With Partners
Continuous efforts have been made by kt to cultivate an environment where collaboration with partners is encouraged by pursuing measures such as attempting to prevent detrimental effects caused by lowest bid price evaluations, raising the maintenance fee payments, helping promising SMEs to build up on their competitiveness, and seeking to promote more cash payments and acquiring additional financing. In July 2010, in the spirit of promoting collaboration with SMEs, kt announced “the Three No Policy.” This in essence represents KT’s commitment to refrain from practices that hinder the growth of SMEs, such as taking action that causes them to waste their valuable resources, stealing away their technology and ideas or going up against SMEs as a competitor. kt aims to not only implement policies promoting collaboration with partners, but to also help such partners apply their sustainable business policies to other partner companies of their own. To this end, KT is encouraging partners to adopt the cash payment policy more in the partners’ dealings with their own partner companies, and is also endeavoring to have the benefits of higher supply costs shared with these second-tier partner companies as well.

Famous quotes containing the words mutual, growth and/or partners:
“What men call friendship is no more than a partnership, a mutual care of interests, an exchange of favors—in a word, it is a sort of traffic, in which self-love ever proposes to be the gainer.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Although its growth may seem to have been slow, it is to be remembered that it is not a shrub, or plant, to shoot up in the summer and wither in the frosts. The Red Cross is a part of us—it has come to stay—and like the sturdy oak, its spreading branches shall yet encompass and shelter the relief of the nation.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“It is ultimately in employers’ best interests to have their employees’ families functioning smoothly. In the long run, children who misbehave because they are inadequately supervised or marital partners who disapprove of their spouse’s work situation are productivity problems. Just as work affects parents and children, parents and children affect the workplace by influencing the employed parents’ morale, absenteeism, and productivity.”
—Ann C. Crouter (20th century)
