ISO14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems established by the technical committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Companies can obtain certification when they adopt environmental management as a corporate policy based on the requirements of the ISO14001 standard and achieve environmental improvements based on specific goals.

The three companies established systems to internalize environmental management within their organizations by appointing environmental management officers, environmental departments, and personnel responsible for environmental management, focusing on ▲establishing environmental management policies and regulations ▲conducting environmental impact assessments and risk responses ▲performing internal environmental management audits.

Through this certification, Dong-A Socio Group plans to minimize potential environmental impacts arising from business activities and establish a response system for major environmental issues to manage and improve environmental risks.

Jung Jae-hoon, CEO of Dong-A Socio Holdings, said, "Dong-A Socio Group is striving to build an environmental management system to internalize environmental management across the group and minimize environmental risks. We will not stop at certifying the headquarters divisions of the three companies but will work to secure environmental management system certification across the entire group."

Meanwhile, all pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities of Dong-A Pharmaceutical in Dangjin, Cheonan, and Icheon obtained ISO14001 certification in 2022. Dong-A ST began with the Cheonan and Daegu campuses in 2018 and extended ISO14001 certification to all pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, including the Songdo campus, as of last October.
