The Integrated Management System (IMS) is a system that integrates the management of environmental, safety, and quality risks at the workplace based on international standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), including Quality Management (ISO 9001) and Environmental Management (ISO 14001).

For this certification, Dongseo Petrochemical completely overhauled its existing occupational health and safety management system and enhanced the level of management. In particular, the company upgraded its operations system to identify and eliminate risk factors across the entire production processes of its main products, including acrylonitrile (AN), sodium cyanide (NaCN), and acetonitrile (MeCN).

With this certification, the company plans to further strengthen its workplace safety management system and accelerate the establishment of a foundation for sustainable management.

Kim Booyun, Co-CEO and President of Dongseo Petrochemical, stated, “The establishment of the Integrated Management System reflects our management’s commitment to making quality, the environment, as well as the safety and health of our employees, the highest priorities,” adding, “We will continue to strengthen ESG management through ongoing improvement activities.”

Dongseo Petrochemical is also advancing its sustainable management system based on international certifications such as the International Cyanide Management Code (ICMC) and International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS).
