Yuhan Corporation has been ranked first in the pharmaceutical sector for 22 consecutive years and 4th in the All Star category in the '2025 Most Admired Companies in Korea' selected by the Korea Management Association. Notably, Yuhan Corporation has never lost its first-place position in the pharmaceutical sector since the awards began 22 years ago.

Yuhan Corporation has inherited the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, the late Dr. Yuil Han, and has long been loved for its corporate image as the "Symbol of Trust, Yuhan Brand."

Beyond simple profit pursuit, the founder's wish to create social value and dream of a healthy nation and a happy society continues to be realized today through Yuhan Corporation, the Yuhan Foundation, and Yuhan Academy.

The corporate profit social return system, established through the founder Dr. Yuil Han’s donation of his entire fortune to society, was possible because the company believed it existed for the benefit of society. This has become the foundation of Yuhan’s ESG (Environment, Social Responsibility, Transparent Management) activities.

In particular, last year Yuhan Corporation received certification for its Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001) for all business sites from the British Standards Institution (BSI). Starting with the certification of the Ochang plant in 2020, the company recently added certifications for its headquarters, central research institute, and Gunpo logistics center, thereby establishing a systematic integrated occupational health and safety management system across all business sites. In addition to health and safety management, Yuhan Corporation operates an environmental management system (ISO 14001) focusing on reducing pollutants and recycling resources, significantly contributing to environmental improvements such as marked reductions in pollutants, resource and energy savings, and product environmental performance improvements, earning it certification as a Green Company from the government.

Yuhan Corporation is activating employee participation with a sustainable management vision of health for humanity and the planet and a better 100 years. It strengthens communication and cooperation with various local welfare organizations and NGOs by conducting activities such as Budle Life Plogging, biodiversity enhancement near business sites, wardrobe cleaning campaigns for the planet, and career camps for local children and youth.

Together with the Yuhan Foundation and Yuhan Academy, Yuhan Corporation has grown and developed into a trusted company by practicing various social responsibility activities for sustainable development and environmental preservation in local communities, protecting valuable values.

The 'Most Admired Companies in Korea' survey, organized by Korea Management Association Consulting (KMAC), was established in 2004 to present desirable models of corporate management and enhance the competitiveness of Korean industries. It is the only survey model in Korea that comprehensively evaluates the overall value areas of companies.
