"The beginning of innovation is to comply with ethical management. Let's work together to build a solid foundation for ethical management in 2020."
Hanmi Pharmaceutical has declared a message in the name of its CEO Woo Jong-soo and Kwon Se-chang, expressing its will to abide by ethical management. Hanmi Pharmaceutical has pledged its commitment to ethical management by issuing a message of compliance with ethical management on April
"The COVID-19 crisis is a milestone for the pharmaceutical companies that exist for the healthy life of mankind, and it is a milestone that makes us realize where innovation should be headed," said Woo Jong-soo, CEO of the company, and Kwon Se-chang. "Hanmi Pharmaceutical's innovation should begin with honesty built on a solid foundation of ethical management, trust from medical staff and patients who fight against the disease."
"Hanmi Pharmacy's commitment to ethical management should not be nothing more than slogans or echoes," they said. "We must firmly establish ourselves as our practical guidelines for action that anyone, regardless of business, job and position, must take the initiative."
Along with declaring the CEO's message of compliance with ethical management, Hanmi Pharmaceutical also carried out an online pledge to "practice compliance with ethical management" involving all executives and employees of the group.
Through the pledge, all executives and employees of the group pledged to carry out transparent business activities, comply with the laws and ethics management regulations related to the company, and join in creating an ethical management and corporate culture.
Hanmi Pharmaceutical, which introduced ethical management in 2007, launched an independent body, the Ethics Management Committee, to effectively operate and apply its law-abiding monitoring program.
Through regular ethics management education, publication of clean management news magazines, and self-announcement, the company is spearheading the initiative of ethical management culture in the Korean pharmaceutical industry.
"Hanmi Pharmaceutical has put ethics management as its top priority and is making various efforts to establish and spread ethics management culture," said Woo Jong-soo, president of Hanmi Pharmaceutical. "We will continue our challenge to become a pharmaceutical powerhouse based on our firm commitment to ethical management."
