[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] BGF Retail announced on the 23rd that it has simultaneously obtained certification for the quality management system ISO 9001 and the occupational health and safety management system ISO 45001.

ISO 9001 is an international standard that evaluates and certifies how systematically and effectively a company has established and operates a system related to quality management, while ISO 45001 is a system that certifies the level of occupational health and safety management to prevent various risks that may occur in the workplace. BGF Retail is the first in the industry to receive ISO 45001 certification.

To create a safe working environment for its employees, BGF Retail formed a separate task force (TF) and worked throughout this year to establish a global-level occupational health and safety process. Through this, they prepared various items such as occupational health and safety manuals, introduced an internal audit system, conducted risk assessments and employee training, and built a system to perform all tasks in compliance with guidelines and procedures reflecting relevant laws and regulations.

Additional health-related measures such as employee health checkups and job stress management were newly established, and based on training plans, occupational health and safety turtle charts, and crisis management scenarios, employee safety is regularly checked and related programs are continuously improved.

A BGF Retail official said, “As customer expectations and social standards for companies continue to rise, we are redefining internal systems and making company-wide efforts. Going forward, we will establish a foundation for sustainable growth from an ESG perspective and become a company like a good friend to our society.”
