Environmental sustainability

Adopting ISO14001, the international standard on environment management systems in 2012, Hanmi Pharm established a firm direction and strategy while also developing a global standard for an environment management system that was able to minimize detrimental effects on the environment. As part of our efforts to reduce the levels of hazardous substances produced during its manufacturing processes, we at Hanmi Pharm prepared 1 manual along with 22 regulations and 17 guidelines under the goal of controlling the key environmental categories of water quality, air quality, waste products, and chemical substances.
We at Hanmi Pharm established the ‘EHS Policy’ and ‘h-EHS Committee’, which is a general organization of EHS, to enhance environmental management at the level of the Hanmi pharmaceutical group. The h-EHS Committee will continue to develop its goals and plans for the implementation of transparent environmental management through a quarterly meeting and consultations on compliance with various regulations.
