Orion received the Korea Food Industry Association President's Award at the 2025 Asia Consumer Awards. Orion was recognized for its outstanding global achievements, as it is estimated to have surpassed 3 trillion won in sales for the first time last year, with about 65% of its total sales generated overseas, overcoming a sluggish domestic economy.

The key to Orion's continued expansion in overseas markets is its ability to gain consumer trust through product safety. All Orion factories, not only in Korea but also in China, Vietnam, and Russia, have acquired the 'FSSC 22000' food safety management system certification. FSSC 22000 is an internationally recognized food safety certification from the Global Food Safety Initiative, and serves as a globally accepted standard specialized for the food sector, covering everything from raw materials to manufacturing, storage, and containers.

To ensure thorough food safety and continuous overseas market development, Orion has been pursuing FSSC 22000 certification since 2013. Starting with the Novo factory in Russia in 2013, Orion obtained certifications at the Tver factory in Russia (2014), Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam (2016), Hanoi (2018), and in Korea at Cheongju and Iksan factories in 2019. In May 2020, four factories in China?Langfang, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xianyang?were certified, marking the completion of FSSC 22000 certification for all Orion global confectionery factories.

Orion also undergoes strict annual audits of its manufacturing facilities, equipment, personal hygiene, pest control, and food safety programs through the American Institute of Baking (AIB), a food hygiene audit agency in the United States. Orion is the only domestic food company to have conducted AIB audits of its global factories for over 20 years since 1996, raising food hygiene and safety to the highest global standards. In 2009, Orion became the first in the confectionery industry to receive HACCP designation from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Orion not only ensures product safety but also manages its production processes in an eco-friendly manner to avoid harming the planet. For example, in 2022, Orion became the first in the domestic food industry to introduce a 'Global Carbon Emissions Integrated Management System'. This web-based system efficiently manages key data such as greenhouse gas emissions, emission permits, and emission facility status at Orion's business sites and production plants in Korea, China, Vietnam, and Russia. The system operates in five languages?Korean, English, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Russian?enabling local employees to easily input and analyze data. This is the first case in the domestic food industry of establishing and operating an online system to manage carbon emissions comprehensively across both domestic and overseas subsidiaries.

Meanwhile, Orion is also well known for responding to domestic consumer satisfaction while focusing on overseas expansion. A representative example is the story of how Orion handcrafted and delivered the discontinued 'Strawberry Goraebap' snack to a young patient at Busan National University Children's Hospital in 2023. In response to active consumer requests, Orion also relaunched 'Pocachip Sweet Cheese Flavor' in May last year after eight years. In addition, Orion has continuously listened to consumer feedback through various channels and reflected it in its products. Notably, Orion has responded to requests for relaunches by bringing back products such as 'Sun Chips', 'Chicken Pop', 'Bae Bae', and 'Wakle'.
