This report, the second sustainability management report following the inaugural edition last year, covers comprehensive changes and directions for business operations, including ▲ the concretization of the carbon neutrality implementation plan ▲ strengthened ESG management across the supply chain ▲ establishment of a responsible procurement system ▲ and advancement of the compliance management system.

In particular, Kolon Life Science has further detailed its mid- to long-term carbon reduction roadmap in the environmental sector and set a mid-term goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1+2) by 5% compared to 2024 levels by 2030. The company also announced its commitment to continuously innovate its environmental management system across production and operations to build eco-friendly business sites.

The supply chain management system has also been further strengthened. Kolon Life Science established a supplier code of conduct policy and laid the foundation for improving ESG standards, such as ethics, environment, and human rights, among its partners. Through these measures, the company has enhanced the overall management of its supply chain and established a systematic foundation to respond to the ESG requirements of both internal and external stakeholders and global clients.

To establish a responsible procurement system, new provisions regarding the procurement of conflict minerals and extended minerals have been included. The company clarified its principle of not using conflict minerals and, regarding extended minerals, presented a responsible procurement system that includes the use of recycled copper.

In the area of governance and compliance management, Kolon Life Science included the achievements of obtaining ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management System) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management System) certifications in August last year. By doing so, the company has brought its anti-corruption and compliance system up to international standards, further enhancing transparency and reliability in business operations.

Through this report, Kolon Life Science emphasized that sustainability management performance is directly linked to actual business competitiveness. The company plans to further strengthen its business capabilities to meet the demands of global markets and clients by advancing management systems in key ESG areas, including environmental response, supply chain management, responsible procurement, and compliance management.
