Kolmar BNH Simultaneously Obtains International Certifications for Environmental and Safety Management Standards

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Kolmar BNH has received international integrated certification in the field of environmental and safety management. As part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, the company plans to strengthen its sustainable management system.

Kolmar BNH announced on the 19th that it has simultaneously obtained certification for the Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) and the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001) for all its business sites in Sejong and Eumseong, where its manufacturing facilities are located.

ISO 14001 and 45001, established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), are the highest-level international certifications awarded to companies that prevent environmental issues and industrial accidents and systematically manage related risks.

Kolmar BNH established an Environment and Safety Headquarters directly under the CEO in January this year and pursued this certification while reorganizing existing regulations and systems. They recruited internal ISO auditors to conduct annual safety training and newly established an integrated manual and guidelines for safety, health, and environment.

Additionally, through external consulting, they have strengthened the response system for environmental risks such as carbon emissions and plan to minimize safety and health issues like accidents and the spread of infectious diseases among employees.

A Kolmar BNH official stated, "Receiving ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications is a meaningful achievement that reflects the advancement of our environmental and safety management systems," adding, "We will expand ESG management and leap forward as a sustainable global health functional food company based on this certification."
