[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Samsung Bioepis announced on the 14th that it has obtained international standard certifications related to environmental and energy management (ISO 14001, ISO 50001) and received the certificates at its Songdo office the day before.

ISO is a non-profit organization and international standard certification body established in 1947. It plays a role in standardizing and publishing international standards through evaluations by specialized auditing institutions for the production of industrial goods and services.

As part of establishing a sustainable management system centered on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values, Samsung Bioepis has been pursuing ISO certification.

Among these, it obtained certifications related to environmental management (ISO 14001) and energy management (ISO 50001). The ISO 14001 certification evaluates whether a company systematically identifies, assesses, manages, and improves environmental aspects through its environmental management system to efficiently manage environmental risks. ISO 50001 assesses whether a company continuously implements energy efficiency improvement activities as an integrated and systematic management strategy through its energy management system.

Since early this year, Samsung Bioepis has operated a company-wide task force and carried out various environmental and energy improvement activities, ranging from reducing unnecessary office energy consumption to decreasing laboratory waste reagent emissions through thorough inventory management.

Go Hanseung, President of Samsung Bioepis, stated, “Through obtaining ISO certification, we have established a global-level environmental and energy management system,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen our sustainable management system as a company that fulfills social responsibility along with competitive business performance.”
