The "Excellent Safety Management Laboratory Certification System" is a program established by the government since 2013 to grant certification to science and technology laboratories in industries, universities, and research institutions based on their safety management levels and activities. The final certification candidates are selected through a process including document review, on-site inspection, evaluation, deliberation, and resolution. To receive certification, laboratories must achieve high evaluations in various areas such as establishing and operating a safety management system, identifying hazardous risk factors, emergency response capabilities, and communication among research personnel.

Shinsegae Food’s R&D Center first received the Excellent Safety Management Laboratory certification for its Future Laboratory in 2018. Last year, recognizing achievements in complying with the highest safety standards and establishing an autonomous safety operation system, all laboratories including the Product Development Lab, Menu Development Lab, Bakery Development Lab, and Future Laboratory obtained certification.

Gong Byeongcheon, head of R&D at Shinsegae Food, said, "We received high evaluations by setting systematic policies and goals for safety management, proactively identifying and improving safety hazards, and conducting safety awareness training for employees," adding, "We will strive to enhance our research capabilities in a safe laboratory environment to create innovative outcomes."
