[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Huons Group announced on the 29th that it has obtained the compliance management system 'ISO 37301' and the anti-corruption management system 'ISO 37001' certifications from the Korea Compliance Certification Institute.

The group companies that acquired the certifications this time are Huons Global, Huons (ISO 37301, ISO 37001), and Humedix (ISO 37301). This is the first time that three listed pharmaceutical bio group companies have simultaneously obtained ISO 37301 certification.

ISO 37301 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization in April last year to evaluate whether the operation of ethical management and risk management systems, which are key items of governance in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), meet global standards.

Huons Group introduced the Fair Trade Compliance Program (CP) in 2014 to demonstrate its commitment to social responsibility and obtained ISO 37001 certification in 2018. In addition, to promote ethical and compliance management, it operates a CP committee, focusing on strengthening internal and external communication and monitoring, thereby establishing and continuously managing a compliance system.

In August last year, the ESG Management Innovation Team was launched to integrate and operate ESG activities promoted by each company. In December of the same year, the group obtained the integrated certification for ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) company-wide and operates an ESG committee. Furthermore, it is promoting the introduction of ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System) to inform stakeholders such as shareholders and customers about transparent and sustainable management.

A Huons Group official stated, "ISO 37301 certification is an essential element for spreading a culture of compliance through adherence to regulations, securing corporate competitiveness, and sustainable management. We will further strengthen employee training related to compliance and anti-corruption management systems, strictly comply with relevant laws, and enhance corporate transparency management as well as ethical and compliance management."
