Hans Biomed Accelerates ESG Management

Hans Biomed Co., Ltd., a medical device manufacturer, announced that it is strengthening its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.

One of the words that has frequently appeared in the New Year's messages of major companies recently is ESG. ESG serves as a non-financial indicator in corporate management and plays a key role in evaluating a company's value. Among various elements, the use of eco-friendly packaging to achieve carbon neutrality and social contribution activities such as community support and assistance are emphasized.

Starting this year, Hans Biomed has begun sponsorships and employee volunteer activities for the local community. In March, it started support for low-income single-parent families in collaboration with the Songpa Comprehensive Social Welfare Center and stated that it will continue its social contribution activities steadily in the future.

Additionally, the company is planning to change its packaging to eco-friendly paper (FSC certified) and soy-based ink to achieve carbon neutrality, and it will sequentially update the entire product line considering overseas packaging approval schedules.

Since August last year, Hans Biomed has been steadily implementing ethical management compliance, beginning with the declaration ceremony of ethical management. To minimize corruption risks that may arise during business activities, it operates an anonymous reporting board called Clean Hans and has established a series of systems to comply with anti-corruption laws. In addition to ethical management, the company has improved employees' work environment and welfare. It has implemented a flexible work system to enhance work efficiency and operates various internal programs to improve employee welfare, such as Family Day (early leave system), education expense support, child school admission support funds, and rental deposit loan programs.

Hans Biomed stated, “In addition to the ongoing ESG management, we are pursuing continuous improvements in various areas, and by prioritizing ESG values throughout management, we will strengthen international standards and compliance management to become a leading company in ESG management.”
